Kaikōura artist Jane Jane Riley has won the special Chris Lynch Award at the Christchurch Art Show at the Convention Centre.

The painter is one of hundreds of New Zealand artists showcasing the work this weekend at Te Pae.

Jane said she’s been painting since she was born, taking after her talented mother.

“New Zealand hosts scenery that’s breathtaking to behold on our magnificent planet. A true nature lover, I find studying mountains and their changing personality throughout differing lights of day, a constant source of inspiration.”

Jane said “ growing up under Aoraki, Mt Cook, has given me a deep appreciation for our mighty peaks and the rivers that flow from them.”

Next year Jane will be able to exhibit her work for free thanks to the team at the Christchurch Art Show.
