Yana Meech
As a self-taught artist she realised at an early age that by projecting her emotions to the canvas she could achieve a better life balance.
Working out of her purpose built Studio/Gallery/Showroom at 412 Busby Road, Katikati, North Island, NZ, she has curated the perfect location for her artistic practise & private gallery viewings which you are welcome to enquire about.
She also offers art classes, run in conjunction with Katipō Creative Studio at 40-42 Main Road, Katikati. Unlike other classes, these are intimate & extensive sessions designed to provide the most insightful approach to teaching technique & training talent.
Her work sells throughout New Zealand and overseas including UK, Scotland, Australia and the United States and has exhibited extensively throughout New Zealand from Orewa in the North to Christchurch in the South. Her accolades are extensive, including having placed second in the acrylics section at the 2011 Franklin Arts Festival, receiving the Merit Award at the 2014 Easter Show Art Exhibition and most recently winning the Liquitex Art Award for Inspirational use of Colour at the 2023 Auckland Art Show.
