Sheelagh was raised surrounded by influential New Zealand artists and developed a deep love for art from a young age. However, as a young mom raising a daughter with special needs, art took a backseat for two decades. In 2022, Sheelagh decided to make art a priority once again. Since then, she has steadily gained recognition and is now living her dream as a respected and in-demand artist.
Super excited to be part of this event again! I got through to the final round last time, let's see if I can take this out!

Sam is looking forward to returning to the Art Battle Auckland stage. Inspired by spiritual and esoteric themes, Sam celebrates the idea that all the great art of history was created in order to come closer to the unseen reality. Sam primarily uses oil paint and spray paint - although you will often find him adding UV, for extra effect with a focus on sacred geometry and geometric patterns.
I am looking forward to competing again. It is such a fun challenge and always awesome to meet other artists, and to paint in front of a crowd.

To me, art is born from chaos—from messy ideas, unpredictable movements, and moments of risk. In this art battle we’re taking chances, embracing the mess and transforming raw energy into something real. Watch as we turn chaos into beauty.

Hey everyone I’m Jerome van Rijn born and raised in Auckland New Zealand.
The imagery that my work depicts, has been carefully curated and developed to highlight growth through the medium of the flower.
The flowers fully blossomed form is a metaphor for one’s self in the hope that we all get the chance to become the best versions of our self’s. The river which the flower floats on resembles the flow of life and that we must all feel the flow of the river and enjoy the journey.
Enjoy the art battle please don’t hesitate to come and chat on the night and enjoy the good vibes and artworks being created.
