Sally Fagence


Auckland's North Shore-based artist Sally Fagence mainly works with upcycled wine barrel staves, barrel ends, oars and other sustainable objects. With a native bush outlook she is constantly enriched with the inspiration that comes with living within that environment.

Fagence is a mixed-media artist who is mostly self taught and feels her lack of formal training gives her permission to follow her own artistic intuition. She paints new life into each piece often following the grains of the wood which dictate the final outcome.

Fagence portrays her artistic story by painting small images or abstract shapes on the staves taking the viewer on a journey of their own. In her approach to the barrel ends, she focuses on one subject always in her own style preferring that over realism, using oils, gold/silver leaf or alcohol inks.
​

Fagence works from her studio over looking native bush, where she finds inspiration for the subjects she paints.
