Vanessa Griffin absorbs and responds intuitively to what she sees, feels, and experiences—capturing life in the moment. Living on the wild Nelson coastline, she draws inspiration from the stunning Tasman Bay, creating work that reflects the place she calls home.

Vanessa’s passion is to share nature’s rich colours, infuse texture, and create visual and emotional uplift. Her intention is to soothe and wrap the viewer’s soul in joy—bringing both vibrant and peaceful art energy into any home or workspace.

She finds the science behind acrylic pouring, textured techniques, and mixed-media art fascinating. Her creative journey is a continuous process of learning and evolution, with experimentation offering a deeply satisfying and therapeutic outlet.

Vanessa believes creativity allows us to take chaos and uncertainty and transform them into new forms of order—into solutions that did not exist before. To her, creative thinking is an act of hope, a light that reminds us of our power to shape the future with new, vibrant strokes.
