Coromandel Town artist garners wide acclaim
Coromandel Town’s Barbara von Seida has attracted so much attention, it’s a
wonder she has time to paint!
Aussie TV host Graeme Stevenson travels to artists studios to film perceptive
art chats, such as this 24-minute programme, Let Barbara von Seida Teach
you her World of Acrylics. The video has pulled in nearly 15,000 views “with
comments and enquiries coming from all over the world,” Barbara shares.
On this entertaining programme, Barbara demonstrates her broad brush
technique creating a dramatic, richly coloured mountainscape.

Stevenson has been filming these artists interview programmes for 13 years,
available on DVD. See
MAGAZINE EXPOSURE... SOLO SHOW... AWARDS
Barbara’s paintings are featured in a four-page spread in the May/June 2016
issue of The NZ Artist Magazine. The previous month, she wrote a four-
pager about the late Coromandel watercolour artist (and her close friend)
Patrick Greene, who left a pictorial legacy that captures the many changes
to Coromandel over the last 40 years. He recorded numerous landmarks,
buildings, the wharf, and Barry Brickell’s railway to name a few. Purchase or
view a large selection of his work at Barbara’s Kowhai Watercolour Studio.
SOLO SHOW. In March, Barbara held a 2 week solo show at Mairangi Art
Centre called ‘Expression in Colour’. NZ art critic TJ McNamara commented
enthusiastically in opening the exhibition, “This is a rich, almost overwhelming
exhibition of completely convincing paintings...What you are seeing is the work
of a very, very accomplished painter.”
AWARD WINNER. Barbara’s
painting “Coromandel Skyline”
(right) placed third in the recent
national Peters Doig Marlborough
Art Awards held in Blenheim. It is
an honour to even be selected to
exhibit, and she had two paintings
chosen in the final 53 that made
up the show.
View Barbara’s work at her Kowhai
Studio and the Little Gallery in Tairua.
