...Their Warkworth home, overlooking the Mahurangi estuary, surrounded by native bush, has had a major and lasting influence on Adele's work and choice of subject matter.
Working primarily in transparent watercolor, Adele's paintings have been exhibited at the Natural History Museum in New York and have toured Japan and Sweden with Birds in Art exhibitions. She is a member of the Society of Animal Artists. Her native New Zealand selected her to design the first three stamps for the Game Bird Habitat Stamp Programme, which was based on the U.S. Federal Duck Stamp Program. In December of 1999, she was invited to participate in the first Ecoart conference and exhibition in Taiwan. Her work, along with the work of 12 other artists representing nine different countries, was exhibited at the National Museum of History in Taipei. In recent years she has also been painting landscapes in oil, plein air.
Adele¹s paintings hang in galleries across the U.S and at the gallery, Art et Vie Sauvage in Paris. Her watercolor, The Roost, is in the permanent collection of the Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum. She has just completed a book, "Painting the Things You Love in Watercolor" (North Light Books), was released in July, 2002. |
