Kate Wells is one of New Zealand’s most well known woven tapestry artists.
This design is based one of Kate Wells’ designs for Dilana Rugs.
Wells was born in Foxton and studied textile design at Wellington Polytechnic. She received a Queen Elizabeth II Arts Council Grant in 1986 that enabled her to travel to Europe to study both early and contemporary tapestries. In 1988 Wells was invited to lecture at an international tapestry symposium in Melbourne and in 1989 she won the Wool Interior Design Award. Many of her works are in public collections
Tall Poppies
While there is an obvious connotation with this title with this title, I’ve gone with a literal illustration. The black and white border is something that has popped up from when I first began painting (too many years ago to remember) – an old recurrent theme!

Gardeners Bottom
My mother's friend is always gardening. She has a special pair of shorts that she says she wears instead of makeup, because that is all you see of her when she is gardening..

Flower Bed
The companion to Gardener's Bottom. Our glorious gal is resting up on her bed of flowers with a coffee and magazine. This design is a result of my gardening frenzy over the summer – unfortunately the drought won.

Flower Power Red
Designed by Mary Self
“I am always captivated by the graphic designs on ceramics so when I saw the Elayne Fallon Weston Teapot from Staffordshire Potteries I just had to stitch it. It is so reminiscent of the 1960s and 70s that as I was stitching the cool blue/teal/lime colourway I wondered how it would look in hot red/orange/pink colours.”

All Things Kiwi
This design contains a few of what I see as the typical New Zealand icons. A sheep; a black shearers singlet; Hokey Pokey icecream; a chocolate fish; a pair of jandals for summer wear; the pukeko or swamp hen; an orange roughy; the cabbage or Ti tree (which looks like something out of a Dr Suess book); the Kiwifruit; and of course, the Kiwi. The stars represent the Southern Cross constellation. And the clouds represent the Maori name for New Zealand (Aotaearoa – Land of the Long White Cloud)
