Literature
Séraphine Pick's original and imaginative practice has made her one of New Zealand's most highly regarded painters.
For the past thirty years, Pick has engaged with figments of memory and explored the body as a site of consciousness in her painting practice.
She graduated from University of Canterbury’s Ilam School of Fine Arts in 1988, and quickly established herself as an artist of note. After a number of strong showings, she was awarded the Olivia Spencer Bower Award in 1994 and the Rita Angus Residency in 1995. She followed this up with the illustrious Frances Hodgkins Fellowship in 1999.
Pick's paintings can be found in such public collections as Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tāmaki, Christchurch Art Gallery Te Puna o Waiwhetū, National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne and Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa.
