Art Sterritt is an artist's studio at Studio 103, Square Edge, 47 The Square, in central Palmerston North. The artist, Vonnie, paints New Zealand landscapes, with a focus on the colour and light of the Manawatū. The website says the work is shaped by the Manawatū River and by the old macrocarpa and nikau that mark the region's landscape. Visits are by appointment, and the website asks people to call to arrange one.
Vonnie was born in Clyde, in Central Otago, and holds a Fine Arts degree from Canterbury University and a postgraduate qualification from Massey University. The website lists work as an illustrator for universities, and as the illustrator of the Maketu series of children's books. Paintings have been shown in Vancouver, Missoula and St Louis, and Vonnie was awarded a resident artist scholarship at Southern Illinois University in 2006. The website also lists exhibitions across New Zealand, both as an invited artist and as a solo exhibitor.
