From 2002 to 2011 was as active member of the Estuary Arts Centre, Orewa and a regular exhibitor. Since retiring and moving to live permanently in Tairua, I have joined the local Tairua Art Group\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile I work in all mediums, my favourite is watercolour, which enables me to attempt to capture the vibrancy of colour and light. Wherever I travel I have my paints on hand to capture the scene at that moment and work quickly in pen and wash. I am drawn to landscapes, especially seascapes and trying to capture the essence of the Coromandel. I also paint in acrylics and mixed media, focusing more on abstract landscapes.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"url":"https:\/\/www.heritagegallery.co.nz\/collections\/jean-mccann-1.oembed","provider":"Heritage Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
