Faith Thomas

35 Campbell Street, Leamington

Originally from Auckland I completed my Bachelor of Fine Arts with a Printmaking major in 1982 from Elam School of Fine Arts, Auckland University.

Now living in Cambridge I have exhibited throughout New Zealand for over 40 years and have contributed to exhibitions in Russia, Portugal, Australia, England, Japan, Germany and America. I am a longstanding member of the Print Council of Aotearoa New Zealand and a strong advocate for young and emerging Printmakers.

Although I generally work with the intaglio techniques of etching and mezzotint my recent works explore the juxtaposition of lino images and Harakeke paper made from native New Zealand flax plants.
