CHRIS HEELAM
Chris is a Muriwai-based artist with a home studio/workshop. During the 2020 COVID-19 lockdown, he discovered a passion for creating garden art and mosaics. His art reflects his love of nature and commitment to recycling.
Using a mix of wood, concrete, and mosaic tiles, Chris crafts unique garden art pieces with a rustic charm. He repurposes discarded materials, such as bicycle parts, car components, and household utensils, to create intricate and imaginative works.
Chris's mosaic art also adorns unconventional surfaces, including old guitars, concrete torsos, and vintage surfboards. Embracing the philosophy that "one man's rubbish is another man's treasure," Chris transforms discarded items into treasured pieces of art.
