Artist
My name is Bernadette Ballantyne, a mother of two residing in Waikato. After a successful career as a teacher, I finally managed to turn my passion for art, into a full-time gig and resigned from teaching in 2022. In my commission based art business, I specialise in soft pastel portrait drawings, focusing mainly on both pets and people. I also produce my own original artworks to sell and produce fine art prints.
