Santie Cronje is a multi disciplinary artist based in the beautiful South Waikato. A visual storyteller, Santie's paintings are closely connected to her life experiences.

Originally from South Africa, New Zealand has been home for over 23 years. Santie studied art as a major subject in high school and completed a Bachelor of Arts at the University of Pretoria (South Africa) in 1994.

A Galleried Artist since 2008, she has exhibited her work in numerous Solo Exhibitions and Group Shows throughout the Country. Her work is held in Private Collections in New Zealand and abroad.

Her current body of work is very present and heavily influenced by the beautiful rural Waikato surroundings.

‘Being in the moment and staying present, I am allowing the mark making to be as authentic as possible as I am compelled to capture the essence of Nature’. Santie
