Petone's seaside art gallery is proud to exhibit new paintings by internationally acclaimed watercolourist and one of New Zealands favourite artist’s, Jacky Pearson, for another popular solo exhibition.



Jacky’s fascination with light and atmosphere is one of the major driving forces behind her paintings and although she has recently moved from Eastbourne to the Wairarapa, she still loves painting our Wellington. Jackie's inspiring and atmospheric paintings of the Wellington city and local region magically draw the viewer into each painting and allows them to linger a while to re live and experience everyday scenes we know and love so well, whether in fine or inclement weather.


Jacky is a multi award winning professional artist, not only widely popular at home in New Zealand but she is also an internationally recognised artist and tutor and her works are held in private and public collections both here and overseas.

Be sure to check out the other art on display created by over 300 favourite New Zealand artists and unique selection if NZ made gifts.
