Ivory Wallace

Ivory was born in the Philippines and moved to New Zealand at 15 years old where she found the passion of painting at her high school in Morrinsville. She is a self-taught acrylic artist who specialises in bodies of water, sunsets, native birds and pet portraits. She paints on canvas, wooden panels, plant pots, walls and even faces as a face painter. She loves to create especially to recreate the beauty she sees in the region she fell in love with – the West Coast where she found a home to settle in with her husband and three children. Most of her work are sold privately through commissions and now also proudly displays her work alongside the talented local artists in the gallery of Colours of the Coast.
