Welcome to Art from Nature
Art From Nature is original art using materials collected from nature, including shells and sand combined with acrylics on canvas, plywood and recycled timber. Recently many paintings have the addition of gemstone pieces as these add colour, texture and energy.
I also create earrings and pendants from gemstones and paua shell. Stock on hand changes regularly but I can always send photos of what I have at the time and am always happy to make custom pieces.
The artworks are created by Kathy Mortimer, of Whangarei, in the north of New Zealand.
Each artwork is unique — if you like a piece I can create something similar for you. Or I can design artworks that reflect your tastes and colour preferences.
Have a look in the Gallery, which is regularly updated with artworks in different styles and colours. Larger photos and details including size, price and availability are available on each work by clicking on the underlined number of the painting. If you wish to purchase a painting from the gallery please email first to check the availability in case the website has not been updated.
Commissions are welcome.

See some of these works ‘in the flesh’ – it is difficult to do justice to their depth and texture with photos! View many of the paintings at one of the upcoming Markets which generally go from October until April. I may be at more markets than noted below – feel free to contact me to confirm..
