Curious
Internationally renowned botanical artist Sue Wickison has an eye for the curious, weird and wonderful. Growing up in Sierra Leone, West Africa, Sue's passion for natural history was nurtured by her father, a teacher, amateur botanist and artist, who used to take her on expeditions locating, identifying and collecting botanical specimens.
Since completing an Honours degree in Scientific Illustration from Middlesex University, London, Sue has traveled extensively and worked on illustrated books for the Agricultural and Forestry departments in the Solomon Islands, Nepal and Vanuatu. She has also produced over 50 natural history stamp designs for several countries in the Pacific, including New Zealand.
Sue has exhibited at the Royal Horticultural Society Show, Savill Gardens Windsor, the Society of Botanical Artists (London), the New Zealand Academy of Fine Arts, New Zealand House (London), and various Botanic gardens including Wellington, Dunedin and Sydney. Her current project continues her working relationship with the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew. Now settled in New Zealand, Sue is a freelance botanical artist working on both our intriguing native flora and also plants of international interest.
Mitchell Studios has been lucky enough to stock Sue's range of luxury pure silk & wool scarves and cotton & linen gifts for the past year. We are now delighted to be presenting an exhibition of Sue's original botanical illustrations which includes pieces previously exhibited at Kew Gardens.

MoreGrounded
Wellington artist Ashley Wicks is best known for his detailed drawings of some of our most cherished birds in their natural environment. Ashley says he has pursued many different subjects in his journey to becoming an artist, but the one constant has always been birds. Working in polychromos and prismacolour pencils with graphite on quality drawing paper, the detail and range of colour in Ashley’s birds is incredible.
Now Mitchell Studios is privileged to host Ashley Wicks’ first solo exhibition. GROUNDED is a collection of artworks from Ashley’s first year working full-time as an artist. The exquisite native birds are accompanied by a series of authentic “Kiwi Cowboy” studies, all inspired by his childhood spent in the beautiful Eastern North Island countryside of Tiniroto.
