“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.”
- Peter & Yoco, Queensland
“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.”

“The whimsical free form of Nadine's paintings along with the vibrant colour selections bring alive any interior space - Injecting fun and frivolity......I love Nadines' work!”
- Georgie Forlico, Interior designer
“Shes so amazing and wonderful and beautiful! I love her so much she blows me away.”
“Living with my angels.....those winded ones I've strategically placed in the home are a constant reminder to me of love, of light and playfulness which we can forget in out in our ever busy and 'seriously' important lives! I've found Nadine's angels bring joy to all who spend time with them...Everyone needs an angel or three.”
- Alison Stoykovich
“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.”
