GABRIELA'S ART PARADISE
Gabriela Weber-Oswald, ceramic artist, outdoor garden sculptures and art objects, decorative art
Gabriela Weber-Oswald. is an artist and passionate gardener, located in Northland New Zealand. I am often found in my ceramic studio "Cloud 40" working on new projects or treating our subtropical garden with tender loving care..... My mission is to share and create artwork that make gardens and homes even more beautiful and interesting.
Her work is seen in local exhibitions like Sculpture Northland, as well as in local art galleries Burning Issue and Reyburn House in Whangarei.
Lisa was born in Auckland at the start of the 1970s, living in a small campsite community on the North Shore called Browns Bay. She spent a significant part of her life with her grandparents, often hanging out at the beaches. Lisa has many happy memories from those days at Browns Bay beach, where fish were plentiful on the point and the ocean was rich in seaweed. She played in the water for hours, going home totally “sun-kissed.” “An adorable time to grow up,” Lisa tells me.
Lisa enjoyed many sports; she was a keen tennis player and netballer, playing in the top teams for her age right up until the family moved to Wellington. Lisa was fifteen years old, which unfortunately marked the end of her sporting career. Local teams were well established in Wellington, and her attention was drawn elsewhere.
