A four-month creative burst this year saw Greytown artist Jane Kellahan paint a dozen new abstracts, which are now on public display at Amisfield Winery, near Lake Hayes.

The professional artist of eight years delivered the nine canvas and three framed paper pieces to Artbay Gallery for the winery exhibition.

Two large pieces had been well received earlier at the gallery in Queenstown, "so it's been good to see her develop a range of different sizes and palettes in this collection", Artbay owner Pauline Bianchi said.

"They are really abstract, dreamlike landscapes with an incredible amount of depth. It's almost like a blurred view of a landscape."

Kellahan won the transtasman Cricket Art Prize in Australia last year.

Her work was exhibited around Australia, including in Sydney, Queensland, the Olympic Atrium, in Melbourne, and the Bradman Museum, in Bowral.

She has exhibited at the Florence Biennale, in Italy, and her work featured in Denis Robinson's book New Zealand's Favourite Artists.

The mostly self-taught artist studied at Central Saint Martin's College of Art and Design and Camberwell College of Arts, both in London.

Her work was selected by the Royal Academy of Arts, in London, in 2000.

The Amisfield show runs until September 12.

Prices range from $1200 to $5900, with one small framed paper piece priced at $750.
