Artist Bio
Santie Cronje is a contemporary painter, based in the beautiful South Waikato region. Exhibiting through galleries since 2008. Known for her symbolism and visual storytelling, Santie's practice has undergone a major shift since the global pandemic in 2019, echoing her earlier style before she migrated to New Zealand in 1999. Her work has become more painterly and the subjectmatter is deeply rooted in her appreciation for the land and the rhythms found in nature.
As a dedicated artist who has long drawn inspiration and creative spirit from both the tangible world and the deep wells of emotional experiences, Santie is committed to producing artwork that speaks directly and powerfully, shifting her focus to painting the essence of the landscape or the emotion itself. This transition has unlocked a new level of freedom and joy in her artistic journey.
Her paintings have been featured in New Zealand art calendars, articles, and books such as ‘New Zealand 'Gallery’ and recently '101 Contemporary Waikato artists' by Peter Dornauf. Her work is held in private collections both in New Zealand and abroad.
