Frankie Meaden

Frankie Meaden is a contemporary artist working primarily with fibre and mixed media to create large-scale, tactile works for public, commercial, and exhibition contexts.

Her practice is grounded in material exploration and process-led making, with a strong focus on how work behaves over time and within space. Through layering, repetition, and considered construction, Frankie develops pieces that respond to site, scale, and audience, often blurring the boundary between textile, sculpture, and installation.

Frankie’s work has been commissioned for public settings across Auckland and internationally, including large-scale outdoor and interior installations. She regularly works with reclaimed and repurposed materials, balancing environmental responsibility with durability, longevity, and professional installation requirements.

Jing Hunter

I am an architectural interior designer, I always love to draw and paint since I was a little girl. I like to use mixed media - water colour, acrylic, charcoal, pencil etc. I am interested in painting portraits and animals. I am also interested in doing 3D modelling and photo realistic rendering. I always try my best to explore new styles, trying out new things and I think my art style is versatile. I got inspired by all the amazing artist in art battles. Hope I get to experience this amazing event one day.

MÓNDÙC

MÓNDÙC is the moniker of New Zealand contemporary artist Kelly Williams; a former digital designer with roots in graffiti and animation, who blends contemporary styles with nostalgic influences across a growing body of sought-after pop art collectibles.

“My work is luxury street abstraction with character-driven energy.
Created for collectors who value emotional resonance, refined aesthetics, and art that transforms a space with atmosphere and soul. Each piece is intentionally crafted to be original, and created to hold presence.

To me, Art Battle is a great space to connect with the urgency and immediacy of creating a piece on the spot, which is something I always loved about creating graffiti and street art.

If you connect with my work, please come and say hi!”

sepideh Javanshir

My name is Sepideh Javanshir, an artist based in New Zealand.

My artwork is inspired by spirituality, consciousness, light and the emotional connection between humans and the universe. I create poetic, intuitive and dreamy works that reflect my inner world and my connection to nature, colors and energy.

I work in a variety of styles, and each time the mood of my work changes, and I try to evoke different feelings in the viewer. I work with watercolor, acrylic, colored pencil, chalk, raised texture, abstract expression, spiritual art, and symbolic imagery. My goal is to create artwork that evokes an emotion rather than an image - something that touches the heart and stays in the mind.
