Kelly Rowe is a contemporary landscape artist based in Auckland, New Zealand, whose work seamlessly blends architecture, design, and fine art. With a background in architecture and interior design experience in Sydney and London, Kelly offers a nuanced perspective on landscapes, delving into the connections between human emotion, place, and identity.

Her paintings manifest as quiet meditations on the intersection of architecture and the natural world, rural and urban. They embody a dynamic interplay between personal reflection, isolation versus community, and the complex psychological relationship individuals form with their environments. Drawing on principles of environmental psychology, her work invites viewers to explore the emotional resonance of place—how the spaces we inhabit shape and reflect our inner worlds.

Kelly’s work evokes the precision and romanticism of hand-drawn architectural sketches, with a contemporary lens. Her landscapes feature sweeping horizontal lines, punctuated by vertical interruptions that convey depth, elevation, and a nuanced dialogue between light, colour, and form.
