My Inspiration
1 DAM elevates the Japanese philosophy around Wabi sabi by moulding the Oriental and African traditions, with organic matter, to reflect the current rooted connections to object and subjectivity in society. Which encourages unique one off works that artist and designer Jade Hardy now shares publicly in selected shops in New Zealand, and a few pieces are seen on the shop website.

Blending World experiences and art in Multicultural
Queenstown's
I'm stoked to share my passion for creating unique and vibrant artworks with you. My paintings fuse bold colours with a hint of street art flair, capturing the essence of our vibrant town. But it's not just about the canvas – I also find inspiration in movement. When I dance, ideas flow effortlessly, like magic. And guess what? My creations have even been recognized by the Queenstown Art Society, giving me the confidence to pursue my dream of being a full-time artist, 8 years after receiving 2 awards. Along my journey, I've dabbled in various fields like science, massage therapy, and dance. Along the years I've been to 24 countries. Surprisingly, these experiences have enriched my art. I incorporate colours inspired by microscopic wonders and shapes reminiscent of the human form. My mind is always buzzing with new ideas, and I love collaborating with other artists to bring captivating artworks to life.
