NEW ART EXHIBITION IN THE GILBERT GALLERY IN THE LINK

VICKI JONES

Gilbert Gallery in The Link:
St Andrew’s Church Community Centre, Summer 2025-2026

Vicki Jones is a Waikato artist who discovered printmaking after attending a 2022 harakeke papermaking workshop with Whanganui printmaker Marty Vreede. Marty shared the diverse world of printmaking and Vicki has enjoyed exploring that diversity ever since, particularly through the excellent tutoring offered by the Waikato Society of Arts.  Her printmaking also draws on her previous work in watercolour, coloured pencil and botanical art.

Vicki mostly works within the Intaglio family of printmaking techniques, especially etching with its ability to show fine detail and line work. Nature forms the basis of much of her work, but she also appreciates the role of printmaking in addressing social issues. Vicki is a member of Waikato Society of Arts, the Print Council of Aotearoa New Zealand (PCANZ) and the Botanical Art Society of New Zealand (BASNZ). She enjoys her role as PCANZ Hamilton representative.

All prints are framed and available for purchase. Please make enquiries directly to Vicki:

About “Equality and Equity”
[2024 NZ Painting & Printmaking Awards finalist, illustrated above]:
“Exploring some possible shapes of fairness, I considered both equality and equity. Equality provides the same for all. Equity provides space for each according to their shape and need. What best fosters a thriving community? Does fairness only exist as one shape? Is there perfect fairness?”
