My Oma's studio in Tauranga has always sat slightly off. The walls lean. The light comes in sideways. This is where I grew up watching her create — oils, acrylics, texture built up and scraped back. A practice built on patience.
It felt like the right place for art to happen. We named ours after it.
My Oma arrived from the Netherlands as a child, growing up mostly in the Bay of Plenty. She eventually built a life in Tauranga — artist, florist, creator.
I grew up in that imperfect studio. Nothing was precious. Nothing was off limits — unless I didn't wash the paint brushes. It was the freest place I knew.
Studio Askew is named for it. Because the best things usually are.
Each print begins with an original — made by hand, layered, scraped back, built up again. The marks you see are real. They happened first in the studio.
The original is photographed at studio quality — minimum 300 DPI at the largest print size. Colour corrected precisely. Nothing is lost in translation.
