Meet the Artist: Sheree Foster – A Journey to See

Visit the gallery and meet artist Sheree Foster in person during her exhibition A Journey to See. Sheree will be in the Becroft Gallery on the following dates from 10am to 2pm:

1–2 November

4–9 November

15–16 November

18–20 November

This is a great opportunity to hear more about her creative process, inspiration, and the stories behind her striking mixed-media works.

“A Journey to See” evokes collaboration of thoughts, events, places of inspiration, including new people and stories shared. 

This most recent body of work further extends a continued interest in re-contextualizing materials particularly discarded objects, giving a “new life”, all underpinned by creative studio play and experimentation. 

 Large in scale, some framed in recovered aluminium, scarred with fire, layered with texture, inlaid with metals, the works are left intentionally raw. The works command presence – balancing the depth of rugged forms with clarity of contemporary design. 

Part of this exhibition, The “Acknowledgement Series” is a tribute to women facing Breast Cancer – reflecting their strength, grace, and the quiet beauty within resilience. 

You are now invited to view each of these unique original artworks that embrace coded messages of discovery, spirit, fight, courage to venture, reflect and pause. 

 As a result you will be taken on a very personal “Journey to See”. 

Artist Biography

Sheree Foster is an Auckland based multidisciplinary artist whose unique, award-winning works have captivated collectors and art lovers alike. Over the past years, her pieces have gained multiple accolades and now reside in private collections, bringing their distinctive presence into many homes.

Driven by a deep concern for environmental sustainability, Sheree Foster transforms discarded materials into one-of-a-kind artworks, giving new life to objects otherwise destined for waste.

Her current body of works explores the power of fire as a creative force, shaping and re-contextualising recycled materials  –   deconstructed, reassembled and infused with metals and vibrant hues to create striking new compositions but still keeping their rawness.

Often inspired by the beauty of nature and the materials she gathers, she combines together textiles, metals, flax and fire into both 2 dimension and sculptural pieces.  Though meticulous preparation and care, these natural elements evolve into contemporary artworks each carrying a unique story.

Each creation is a testament to her commitment to honouring the environment, blending traditional techniques with contemporary mixed-media approaches. Through her art she is not only showcases the potential of repurposed materials but also invites the viewer to reflect on the impact of consumption and waste in the modern world and marvel at what can be created from discarded items.
