Petone's seaside art gallery is proud to exhibit new paintings by internationally acclaimed watercolourist and one of New Zealands favourite artist’s, Jacky Pearson, for another popular solo exhibition.



Jacky’s fascination with light and atmosphere is one of the major driving forces behind her paintings and although she has recently moved from Eastbourne to the Wairarapa, she still loves painting our Wellington. Jackie's inspiring and atmospheric paintings of the Wellington city and local region magically draw the viewer into each painting and allows them to linger a while to re live and experience everyday scenes we know and love so well, whether in fine or inclement weather.


Jacky is a multi award winning professional artist, not only widely popular at home in New Zealand but she is also an internationally recognised artist and tutor and her works are held in private and public collections both here and overseas.

Be sure to check out the other art on display created by over 300 favourite New Zealand artists and unique selection if NZ made gifts.

I can be a little wary in new situations and meeting new people, so would love an experienced and patient home. One that has the time to put in the extra training I need as I have not had much. I am very food motivated so will pick things up quickly. I can be very puppy like when comfortable around my people so require a home with older teenagers or an only adult home, one that is confident around larger than life personalities. The team here have mixed me with other dogs, so I could go to a home with an existing dog. One that is social and has a similar play style to me. A dog that is happy to share their space and their humans. I have yet to be cat tested. If you think I am the dog for you please contact the canine team for more information."
