Collection: Judith Milner

Judith Milner is a representational oil painter based in Auckland.  Her work engages with notions of nostalgia, depicting familiar New Zealand scenes in a fresh and intimate way. She is drawn to imagery that not only reminds her of her childhood, but hints at a broader narrative beyond the frame. 

New Zealand architecture is a frequent muse: using traditional techniques, the details and proportions of our historic buildings are rendered with precision. While this classes her work as realist, it is the place's feeling that Judith is able to capture. 

Previously a lawyer before turning to a career in Art, Judith sees her painting as a fusion of her analytical and intuitive sides.

Judith's work is held in collections throughout New Zealand and overseas. She has been a finalist in several national art awards and in 2021 was the recipient of the Michael Evans Figurative Award at the Walker & Hall Art Awards and People’s Choice Award winner in 2023.
