Karyn Hitchman

Welcome to the artistinsite.com online gallery of Karyn Hitchman

Having worked in the fashion industry in New Zealand for many years as a pattern maker & designer, Karyn (nee Tippett) made a life style change in 2006 and moved to Queenstown, New Zealand for the magnificent alpine scenery, and to pursue her true passion - painting.

Since moving to Queenstown Karyn has rekindled her love of painting and is now an active committee member of the Queenstown Arts Society. She exhibits at the society's Cloakroom Gallery and other locations around Queenstown.

The move to Queenstown was inspired by two things; her love of the natural beauty of New Zealand and along with her husband Peter, the purchase of a guiding company that takes her deep into the untouched backcountry of New Zealand.

Her studio is in Queenstown and as such is surrounded by alpine views and crystal clear waters. This tranquility gives her the space and quiet to create individual works of art.
