Canterbury artist uses Hurunui district as her studio

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from Northern Outlook

Whether it is being swarmed by bees, blown over in a gale, or interrupted by rain showers, Canterbury artist Janey Lovell-Smith is in her element.

Anyone familiar with the Hurunui hinterland may have spotted Lovell-Smith at her easel, standing on the side of the road in all weather to capture the region’s ever-changing lights and landscapes.

From old wooden buildings, brick churches and weathered wool sheds, to the nor’west arch over Mt Grey and the sunset at Waikari, the Amberley resident is spoiled for choice with her surroundings.
