SAMANTHA LISSETTE exhibits regularly throughout NZ and internationally, and her work is in public and private collections across NZ and China. A member of Medal Art NZ (MANZ), she regularly exhibits with International Art Medal Federation (FIDEM). She has a degree in philosophy from Auckland University and in her art practice she explores the relationship between ‘designed’ elements in the natural world and man’s adaptation of them. There is a strong narrative quality to her sculpture, questioning aspects of the human condition. Often employing humour or irony, she brings a sense of playfulness and delicacy to a medium traditionally associated with weight and substance. She works extensively in all scales of the bronze medium, from monument to miniature.
