Abbey Merson

Painting from her studio in Hastings, New Zealand, Abbey’s art encapsulates her love of florals and vibrant colours. Having been an avid creator with a wild imagination from a young age, Abbey’s easel has never strayed far from her side. For Abbey, painting is a form of escapism, allowing her to make sense of the world and to re visit memorable moments of her childhood. Although Abbey’s work continues to evolve as she explores the never ending world of colour, her art almost always begins with a foraged flower or a treasure gifted to her by a friend, before intuitively taking on a life of its own.
