Roselyn Cloake was born in Timaru to parents from New Zealand and Holland. Much of her work reflects her family background and ancestors.
They are represented by the rolling mountains and nor'west winds of Canterbury and by the tulip fields, windmills and canals of the traditional Dutch landscape.
She is inspired by Cubist painter Juan Gris, who presented the world as if looking though the facets of a crystal glass. This approach offered Roselyn the freedom to put her own interpretation on realistic situations and objects which have personal meaning.
While her work is instantly recognisable as landscape, there are abstract elements that keep eyes drawn to her work. The vibrant colours and clean lines are similar to cartoon and pop art styles, giving movement to her scenes. She has developed a unique painting style.
