Kim Newall is a multimedia artist living and working in Auckland, who uses traditional and new media with an interest in building a conversation between these two modes of artistic expression. His process is a flow from the hand drawn or painterly into the digital and back again; through this process the boundaries of digital and hand drawn become obscured and both media are reinvented.
