Artist  Statement

I love to throw paint around, with no fixed idea of where it will take me. The magic is in being intuitive and brave and not thinking too much. I like exploring different mediums and ideas. This way I keep my work fresh and not too predictable. In this world of AI images, I’m motivated to create something original and beautiful with my own hands, plus it’s important to me, I’m having fun. Hopefully this shows through in my art.

About The Artist

Meet Pauline Gough

Pauline Gough is a New Zealand, self-taught artist and has been painting and exhibiting prolifically since 2010.

Her painterly artworks are largely painted alla prima in a deliberate attempt to keep the art lively and not overworked.

With energetic brushwork, deliberate texture and mark making, Pauline’s bold works are nostalgic and instantly recognisable. Pauline’s rural upbringing and marriage to a farmer has shaped the themes and textures of her work, with the rustic charm and rugged beauty of New Zealand remaining central to her artistic voice.
