Today on the podcast I am speaking to wonderfully creative Carmel Van Der Hoeven. As a self taught, multidisciplinary artist Carmel is an all-round creative that uses painting, ceramics and illustration to explore her creative ideas resulting in a diverse range of work. Carmel’s work mainly features observations taken from her surroundings that resonate with her. Her current (amazing) floral series uses the simple act of marking canvas with painted brush strokes, her stunning use of colour captures you and draws you in. Her work is simply breathtaking.

Over the past few years Carmel has grown a cult following of people that know and love her work – not only is her work frequently featured in magazines and online, but she has also created a very open and honest space on Instagram that brings all her fans along with her on her journey as a working artist. Personally, I am obsessed with Carmel’s work and one day I will own one of her paintings in my home. In the meantime, I’m happy to watch her work and follow along. I hope you enjoy my chat with Carmel as much as I did.

A couple of days after this episode goes live, Carmel’s latest exhibition ‘By Contrast’ opens at Turua Gallery in Auckland. I’m pretty sure her work will sell out pretty quickly but if you hear this episode in time – make sure you take a look. You can follow along with Carmel’s day-to-day artist life on Instagram @carmelvanderhoeven and if you want to see her paintings online visit turuagallery.co.nz
