It has been over 15 years since I first became a professional artist after graduating from my Illustration Degree. Creative Arts has long run in my family as my great, great Uncle James Brown was NZ’s first real political cartoonist from 1852 and my passion for painting was largely influenced by my Father with his own talent for oil painting and Aviation Art. 

“Rochelle creates ’larger than life’ flower paintings accentuating the beauty of flowers in close-up. Her work never fails to capture the colour and depth of her subject matter, sometimes bold, sometimes delicate and always beautiful. These calm and thought-provoking canvases are a delight and the talent that she shows capturing her subject is quite extraordinary.
