    Sarah - Jane Smith

    Art:Practicing artist for 10 years I currently sell work in New Zealand and overseas. I work in a variety of mediums including watercolour, acrylic and oil. From time to time I have exhibitions and will have another one in April at Nathan Homestead in Papatoetoe. All work can be purchased from my online gallery www.beautifulnzart.co.nz. I am inspired but New Zealand landscape and get a coming home feel from the landscape.

    In addition I have illustrated for books and instructional material. My illustrated book is for sale at UBS and Parsons bookshop. The book Two Kiwis in Hong Kong is a coffee table book with short stories and poems about leaving New Zealand to live and work in Hong Kong written by a family member and illustrated by myself.

    Two Kiwis in Hong Kong abstract
    Work and family ties took writer Patricia Gregson and illustrator Sarah - Jane Smith to Hong Kong and now aunt and niece conbine to recall their memories of Hong Kong during the 1990's-sometimes humorous-sometimes nostalgic-but always with a heart-beat still back home in New Zealand.
    Some of the chapters are as follows:

    Song of a Dolorous Kiwi
    Sunny or Sunday
    The Hong Kong Blues
    Out Back O' Yuen Long
    Sang Froid
    and many more.
