My name is Ce Duff and I am from Dunedin, a vibrantly artistic little city on the south east coast of the South Island of New Zealand. I have loved art from an early age, but abandoned the dream of being an artist in high school. I came back to it for six years between 1997 and 2003, learning to draw and paint from a variety of experienced teachers. It was at this time my love affair with portraiture began. However I allowed self doubt to get the better of me and again put my pencils and paintbrushes away.

Twelve years later a visit to an exhibition reawakened my inner artist and set me off on my current creative journey. At last I’m committed to the art life for the duration. I love to capture the likeness and emotion in a face and explore my passion for vintage in my work. The faces of people captured in a moment in time are always intriguing to me, allowing the viewer to connect with their own story through an image. I enjoy experimenting with all mediums, but currently work mostly in acrylic, mixed media and collage. I’m active in my local art community and love to share in the artistic journey with others.
