Elsie Andrewes. Fiji born artist and illustrator based in Whangārei, Aotearoa/New Zealand. Works span across traditional and digital media, covering portraiture, botanical illustrations and surrealist concepts with inspiration stemming from my heritage.

Most pieces are completed with the Pacific people in mind and for the Pacific people, utilising vibrant colours and traditional design. I’ve been commissioned by the World Bank, Talanoa, Huia Publishers, and Witness Performance. Have also exhibited at Enjoy Contemporary Gallery in Wellington. You’ll find me in a cafe somewhere drinking a flat white or at beach. Vinaka
