Cara Wilde - Contemporary Artist

I have always followed creative pursuits throughout my life. From taking art at high school through to night classes and workshops. I have studied and taken classes in acrylics, watercolours, oils, pastels, mixed media and drawing over the years. I spent a year learning different techniques at a local art school in 2013. Other creative pursuits I have followed are gaining a diploma in fashion design when I left school and a certificate in stage one interior design in 2012.

In 2013 I joined an art group in my area, this allowed me to start exhibiting at local exhibitions. Since then I have exhibited and sold my works at various shows including The Royal Easter Show, the Baradene, MAGS & MARTakana Art Shows and also at Pop Up stores in local shopping malls.

In September 2021 I completed a 12 week online art business course. This taught me how to build my own website, use social media effectively, photograph my works and more.

I have painted a number of different subjects over the years including landscape, birdlife, historic cottages and flowers. I paint contemporary and abstract artworks. They reflect on what I am feeling or what interests me at the time of painting them.

Being an artist and creative is like being on a journey of self discovery, and I love that I am still ever changing and evolving.

I am thrilled that I now have many of my artworks featured in homes throughout New Zealand. I currently work part time from my home studio.
