The processes of printmaking, painting, mixed media, and digital imagery are Maree Horner’s main areas of investigation. Principally her work explores the nature of the relationship between the feminine and masculine, between the mind and the body, evoking the erotic through suggestive interplays. Often mixed-up scale serves to undermine existing power structures symbolically inherent in objects to establish new meaning.
After completing a Master of Fine Arts degree at Elam School in 1974 and a brief period of overseas travel in the late 1970s, she settled in Taranaki with her family where she still lives and works.
