Our students were fortunate to have Jason Hicks, our 2009 resident artist, share his ideas and techniques during Term 3 while they were preparing their NCEA and scholarship portfolio submissions. Jason's inspiration for his work comes from his love of the New Zealand landscape and his passion for the history of our land. His bold and sometimes moody landscapes are often superimposed with traditional motifs, symbols and shapes, and more recently a concentration on friendships and relationships and how we interact with each other.
Originally from Wanganui, Jason graduated with a Bachelor of Design from Victoria University of Wellington in 1997. His passion and desire to paint has overridden a career in photography, and sees him now as one of New Zealand’s emerging painters. |
