Artists
Lee-Ann Toyokawa (Dixon)
Born in 1966, Lee-Ann Toyokawa holds a Bachelor of Visual Arts from NMIT (Nelson Marlborough Institute of Technology).
Lee-Ann’s paintings are tributes to life’s transience.
“As my life changes, so does my artwork. Mostly it is an ongoing theme of motherhood and domesticity. But as my children grow older, I have more time to reflect and remember my own childhood and identity, and this is reflected in my artworks.”
Birds, moths, crockery, skulls and childhood toys are all recurring subjects in Lee-Ann’s artworks; preserving in paint imagined moments, memories, and the passing of time.
