About the Artist

Juanita Benade

I love creating artworks with an authentic and personal connection. Each piece is crafted with dedication and care, using a naturalistic technique as a veil for deeper meaning.

The result is a poetic visual story that can be understood universally. It is an artwork that speaks of life, victory and loss, memories and future dreams… of the present as a brief moment in time.

Dabbling in various media from an early age, I currently mainly work in acrylic, pen and pencil, as well as charcoal. Other options can also be discussed upon request.

I have been working as an independent artist for more than two decades with my pieces featuring internationally in personal and corporate collections. Please contact me if you would like to enquire about any of my works or commission a painting. Most of the artworks shown in my Portfolio have already found their “forever homes”, but other original artworks might be available.

A special series of sketches Wild About Horses are available at WildAboutHorsesArt - Etsy New Zealand as downloadable digital artworks. Subscribe to my newsletter for promotions, discount vouchers, tips, and news on this project as well as other artworks.
