About the tutor

Gaye Nieuwenhof has been creating and exhibiting her work for many years along with teaching various techniques to help inspire others to accept the unexpected. Her inspiration is always the environment and although the imagery is abstract in nature, that echo remains. The alchemy of materials and how they can be utilized to produce art has always fascinated her. This can come about in many forms and sees prosaic materials being used for purposes for which they were never intended. Texture, tone and line always appear in her work which creates visual excitement. She is a collector of “What Ifs”. Her earliest art making was in Ceramics and Watercolour which have evolved into painting, printmaking and mixed-media. Always searching for the unexpected and accepting that not all work will be pleasing, but forever learning from the experience.
