Sean Fietje
Sean is an artist who lives in Christchurch with his wife, Daniella, and their two young boys, Leo and James. After almost 20 years teaching and painting, Sean is now pursuing painting full time. He spent his final 8 years teaching art in international schools in South Africa and Hong Kong where he painted scenes from around the world, but continues to be drawn to landscapes around Canterbury and the South Island. He has a particular love of the Arthurs Pass area where he spent many weekends tramping in his youth.
Sean prefers landscapes with a strong light source and aims to capture the subtle textures and small details so the viewer doesn't just see the scene, but feels it.
