Dalene Meiring

Dalene Meiring

Dalene was born in South Africa and studied at the University of South Africa, Pretoria. She moved to New Zealand in 1997. Dalene’s canvases have been described as being rich, warm, and easy on the eye. They are vivid in colour, harmonious in form, and express a rarely found vitality. Passionate about experimentation with texture, colour, and different media, she is able to produce a unique and compelling finish to these styles. She portrays the people, places, and objects which link her inextricably with her surroundings. “I try to impose a visual and emotional experience in my paintings and favour emotion over precision.”
