About Your Tutor:
Stacey Fraser-Allen is a Wellington-based ink and watercolour artist and creator of Brick and Water.
““Growing up in suburban Wales, I was struck by the colourful variety and playful vibrancy of New Zealand architecture when I emigrated to Wellington over eleven years ago. After completing my degree in business, I found a passion for watercolours and paired that with my love of New Zealand’s urban landscapes. I began creating personalised art pieces for whanau and friends and decided to refine the process following interest from other clients. Since then I have continued to specialise in capturing client’s homes, iconic landmarks and commercial businesses. My work aims to celebrate communities and endeavours to immortalise the memories that buildings hold”.
