Jade Barclay

Visual Artist
Glenorchy Queenstown

Jade Barclay is a self taught artist creating from her home studio in rural Queenstown, New Zealand. Jade’s distinctive paintings are inspired by Mother Nature and the feminine form, celebrating our deep-rooted connection to the natural world. Her immediate surroundings in Aotearoa and the experience of life itself are evident in her work - drawing on the muse both as it appears and as it feels. Her art moves between the tangible and the ethereal.

Blending acrylic, mixed media, and oil stick, her paintings invite you to savour life’s quiet beauty through earthy palettes, organic strokes, and the raw harmony of rustic textures and lines. Both physical and emotional journeys — to the peaks, depths, and quiet corners of the land - shape Jade’s creative process. Her background in holistic nutrition, women’s wellness, and psychology deepens this exploration, offering meaning that goes beyond the surface. Each painting connecting you back to nature, and back to yourself.
