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.

And one day - as if through a colourful lens - the water cleared, the flowers began to blossom, and the skies turned golden.
Inspired by Bobs Cove, Queenstown. A field I’ve walked through hundreds of times on my way to the lake — and this summer, for the first time, it was left be — filling with wildflowers and, in parts, shoulder high meadows to play in, to starfish and smile in.
Filled with warmth, flow and depth — this work is an ode to the magic that grows when we allow space for life to unfold.

A fine art print from original painting in my 'Spaces Between' collection: Like nature, women understand that nourishment encompasses both; celebration and mundane, noise and silence, sun and rain, reality and day dreaming, flowers and dirt.

The earth beneath me and the blood within me warm with the golden trickle of the rising sun. Each step feels lighter, lifting me higher.
An original painting part of my 'From Here to There' Collection
Here, now, means there was a there, then. It’s a cycle of becoming:
Dreaming, growing, emerging, blossoming, resting and reflecting.
Our experiences mirror the rhythms of nature, and like nature, through embracing all parts, we invite balance, with each part contributing to our unfolding story.
Each piece in the collection stands on its own yet contributes to the larger narrative of internal transformation, exploring different colour palettes, textures, and compositions to evoke a range of emotions. Together, they tell the story of the metamorphosis of self.

Inspired by the view of Aoraki/Mount Cook over Lake Pukaki, New Zealand.
