Artist Showcase: Beth McMillan
Beth's work is pure charm from every angle. Working with driftwood, pebbles, and paint, she builds whimsical little scenes — vases of wildflowers perched on beachcombed wood, tiny painted birds nesting in bare winter trees, a red-sailed boat bobbing through dotted blue waves, and a signpost pointing the way to Paraparaumu, Kāpiti Island, and Rimu Road, surrounded by scattered stones.
Her swirl-pattern cats are a particular delight — intricate, almost lace-like linework that turns a simple silhouette into something mesmerising. Elsewhere, clusters of hand-painted eggs and shell-like forms in warm golds and purples bring a touch of the coast indoors.
Playful, tactile, and full of personality, Beth's pieces are perfect for anyone drawn to art with a sense of humour and heart — and a distinctly local flavour.
