Audrey Garratt Biography Born in 1940 in the picturesque seaside town of Kaikoura, New Zealand, Audrey grew up with a love of the country that surrounded her, the mountains that met the sea and the rural landscapes together with the people that worked in these environments. She showed early promise with drawing and painting, finally making a career of teaching Art where she was known for her ability to bring out the inner creative capabilities of her students, encouraging them in their own style of work. She taught for thirty years at secondary and tertiary level in New Zealand, Canada and most recently in Zimbabwe. Since returning to New Zealand she has held an exhibition in Wellington and tutored several 2-day workshops. Her colourful works in oils, acrylics and stained glass are in many homes world-wide.
