Considered one of New Zealand’s most pre-eminent artists, Grahame Sydney’s passion for art has remained with him since childhood. Born in 1948 in Dunedin, the landscapes of his works reference the majestic environment of his early years. His talent and love of drawing was evident from a young age.

Largely self-taught, Sydney has worked in a wide variety of medium including oils, watercolour, tempera, etchings, lithographs, photography and documentary film making.
