ABOUT
Hi, I'm Philippa Potaka, a Wellington, New Zealand based Artist inspired by nature and animals. I work with graphite pencil, creating high detailed drawings and acrylic paints where my appreciation of bold colours come alive.
I have always been creative from a young age, with art and textiles being my main passions growing up. I obtained a 1st class honours design degree at Massy University, and originally pursued a career in the fashion industry. But, over the years I have emerged myself back into the art world, where my passion for drawing and painting has become my main focus.
With my love of animals, this has become a prominent theme throughout my artwork today, and I am available to create your very own pet portrait (more details here). I have also recently been exploring a new love of land and seascapes, which you will see throughout my portfolio of work. Please check out my shop to see all available art for sale.
