FLOX visit

On Wednesday the 11th May 2016 Poppy and Rose went and visited the New Zealand artist FLOX aka Hayley king.

 She was creating a mural on the side on the Hamilton library representing the Hamilton gardens.

She graduated from art school in 2003 then went on to complete a short business course. Before becoming an artist she was a professional squash player. 

She creates her own stencils by using card and cutting them out by using a surgery scalpel. Most of her artwork is nature inspired because she grew up in a small town surrounded by nature.

She tries to stay away from the colour black but loves the colour green because most things in nature are green. She uses her stencils and spray paint to create her masterpieces.
