Cassie Newman

My name is Cassandra Newman (Cassie) and I am an artist from New Zealand, specializing in acrylic paint on canvas. I grew up in Auckland and am currently based in Wollongong, Australia doing a PhD on research in Antarctica.

I am very passionate about New Zealand’s environment and enjoy tramping and getting into the elements which I then paint so I can bring the scenes of our landscapes and native flora and fauna inside.

I have been painting as a hobby since I was young, and love painting New Zealand landscapes or features that show some of the beautiful treasures my home country has to offer. I decided to start selling my artwork as prints as well as doing some commissions to share this passion.

Subantarctic Islands Ambassadorship

At the end of 2022, I got the privilege of receiving a scholarship with Heritage Expeditions to go to the Subantarctic islands. As part of that scholarship, I am now an ambassador!

To share this experience, I had set and achieved a goal to paint at least one painting a month for a year in 2023 from photos I took of my trip which I plan to make prints of to sell.

30% of earnings will be donated to a different charity or community group that do a part or service to our beautiful environment!

The charities I am supporting are Forest & Bird, Royal Albatross Centre / Otago Peninsula Trust, Maukahuka/Auckland Island Pest Free project, The Yellow-eyed Penguin Trust, and the NZ Sea Lion Trust. The following pages state which print supports which charity.
