Chrissie Burnside

From an early age I have resided on the Coromandel Peninsula where I have actively developed my passion in textile art.

I am inspired by the unique coastal beadches and rugged native bush terrain.

I have further developed my artistic passion by forming art using natural materials and treasures washed up on the foreshore of remote beaches.

My artworks are also created from old nautical objects such as oars, rudders and centreboards.
