“I loved Nadine’s work as soon as I saw it. To me its light, whimsical and calming all at the same time. I love her use of colour and there is something intrinsically spiritual and earthy. I love having a bit of Nadine and her unique personality in my home and my beautiful piece lights up whatever room it is in.”


“Nadine's beautiful abstract gives me pleasure every day. The joyfulness of her colours, rising up through the centre, are so positive and optimistic.
Their translucence reminds me of water, sunshine and a tropical breeze on my face on even the darkest day. Thank you Nadine for the smiles and the happiness your art brings to my home.”

“For exactly 20 years I have witnessed Nadine Sawyers abstracts, mixed media, objects and installations morph and meander through moments of pure joy, beauty, fragility, sadness, desire, excitement and spirited humour. Her exploration of the essence within, enveloped against a backdrop of an often dissnant world and that which sometimes desires much audacious humour in order to embrace is light hearted in her whimsical, bold and perhaps even deliberately ambiguous child-like display of colour and texture; all the more embellished by her talent for free form and gutsy immunity from conventionalism. I get it. I really get it. As does my home. It is full of it.”


“This painting is now over the staircase, so every morning, when we rise and go down to the kitchen we look at your harvesting angel and have a good day (Also every time we go down from our studio).”

“Your beautiful paintings exude joy and I know that they will bring a smile to my face each day that I look at them! Thank you again! Feeling very blessed that our life paths have crossed!”


“Nadine's work is vibrant and energetic, able to cheer the heart and home. Through the repetitive use of flowers and birds, we are encouraged to go out and play with nature. Her angels bring a heavenly quality and a call to tread gently on our earth and to be grateful. The dots in her work feel like the energies of life and that we each have our own path to follow and explore. Her work is lovely and suits many environments - the office, a little girl's bedroom, the living room, office space, kitchen. Nadine is a keen gardener, lover of organic living and when she is not painting, you will find her arranging flowers, watching documentaries and being a part of community projects. Her art brings me joy on a daily basis.”

“I recently lost my partner to cancer - I came across a shop in my local area called ‘Art Pop Up shop’ where I met Nadine and her mother - they were warm and welcoming, Nadine has gone out of her way to look after me I now have a good friend - I bought a few of her works and they have helped me with my loss - her work spoke to me and when I look at it has helped me get through - Don’t stop painting people need and love your work.”


“Nadine Sawyers gift to animate an imaginary space is what captured my attention. She blends the real and the fantastic. In all her work and stages of her life Nadine's colours are a living, integral part of the picture and are instinctive rather than actual. In Nadine's hands, formations and ideas become supple and imaginative.

Within Nadine's paintings there is empathy, sorrow, and happiness. These emotions springing from either her own experiences her hereditary or more so from her poetic temperament. These are the qualities that draw me to her art work time and time again.”

“Nadines paintings evoke joy, are vibrant and have a wonderful innocence that you can feel.
Her angel and abstract series are family favourites highlighting our living and studio areas.”


“I adore my colourful angel. She sits well on the white walls of my tropically furnished house here in Port Vila, Vanuatu, keeping a watchful eye on us all. She is certainly noticed by visitors and is a source of discussion and attention. This is a stand out piece of art and I love it.”

“I have purchased a number of Nadine's paintings as I love their colours and innocence. I have had many clients comment on her pieces in my office. Some saying they remind them of the painter, Marc Chagall. I love the angel motif and find her work uplifting and joy a look at. Her cards and tea towels are also well-admired!”


“Nadine Sawyer - Daughter of Joy

Nadine's expressionist paintings are fresh and alive. You'll find a Nadine Sawyer work in almost every room in my home, some times more than one! And I hope in time to collect others so as to enjoy the flowering of this beautiful artist.

Contemplation forms a significant part of my daily life as does the cultivation of my aesthetic awareness - to me Nadine's paintings grow in flavour and tone over time and the pleasure of 'listening' to them I count as a gift. I could write a great deal about the underlying strength of form and the harmony of colour, about the subtle and confident character of her line or the free spirit of her brush stroke but in the end I would rather tell you that her art is full of that stuff, that spiritual water, called Joy for which we all thirst.”
