Street Art Cities

Whanganui Walls Street Art and Music Festival returned in 2021 with seven of NZ’s most prominent street artists transforming the town into an open-air gallery. Artists included: Milarky, Dan Mills, Swiftmantis, Flox, Mica Still, Charles & Janine Williams, Mike Marsh. 
 

Still grew up in a small coastal town in Oregon, USA where the art scene was dominated politely by fishing boats and seaside water colours. Very different from her vivid colourful works that give an optical punch. 

“When I was painting more regularly, I wanted to create guardian animals of the space. The tiger and wolf are personal motifs for me. I chose them to empower the viewers with the strength we need.

I am from a town similar to Whanganui, a river mouth town. My river is Columbia, Astoria Oregon. The river was a source of strength, our lives revolve around it. I love watching the tides rush in. I added the moon element as the influence it has on the tides."
