New Zealand 20th Century

Brett Taylor paints, draws, and sculpts from his studio at Pikowai Beach, Bay of Plenty, New Zealand.

His art career began with portrait commissions for a decade. The development of his own bronze casting foundry gave room for a new level of insight to his much loved figures.

This led to extensive figurative tuition throughout New Zealand
His work is held in many national and international collections.
