OUR STORY
When things got a bit messy in 2012, the owner of Quirky Fox, Vicki, decided to take a risk, quit her job and open her own business.
Sick of seeing the same thing in every shop, Quirky Fox set out to showcase something a little bit different. Starting with a mixture of independent artists and commercially produced items, Vicki found working with independent artists more meaningful, rewarding and challenging. With this in mind, Quirky Fox made the transition from design store to gallery.
Showcasing both established and emerging talents, Quirky Fox invites both New Zealand and international artists to be part of its carefully curated range. Most of the international artists showcased are exclusive to Quirky Fox within New Zealand.
Quirky Fox aims to provide a home for artists working in new contemporary and representative styles and introduce their works New Zealand and an international audience.
In 2019, Quirky Fox started to offer custom framing to complement the gallery.
Quirky Fox continues to evolve and grow, we hope you will join us as we do.
Our Team
Quirky Fox is a small gallery with the owner, Vicki, being the cleaner, curator, framer and every job in between. If you come into the gallery or contact us online, it will be Vicki that greets you or answers your questions.
In 2021, Vicki started to collaborate with Beautiful Bizarre magazine as an online contributor. The following year she was selected to act as a jury member for the international Beautiful Bizarre Art Prize.
In 2024 Elizah Leigh, joined Quirky Fox remotely to help us produce interesting articles for our blog and social media. Elizah refers to herself as a word painter, if it is a term you are unfamiliar with reading her articles will quickly enlighten you: here vivid descriptions and vast knowledge means the words dance of the page.
Of course the greatest part of our team is the artists we work with. You can find out more about each of our artists by clicking on a work and reading their bio or reading or blog.
