Lix North
Lix North cites a childhood in the stunning isolation of New Zealand’s hill country as the catalyst for her ever-active imagination, unique way of seeing and penchant for introspective self-portraiture.
Within 12 months of graduating from NMIT’s School of Visual Arts, Lix’s work caught the eye of revered gallerist and Auckland Art Fair founding director Jennifer Buckley, securing her first solo show at one of Auckland’s most enduring and respected contemporary galleries, the Oedipus Rex.
Three years on she became the youngest artist published in E.M. Caughey’s ‘Art New Zealand Today’ (Saint Publishing, 2003).
In 2007 Lix settled in Brisbane, Australia, spending the majority of the ensuing decade as a professional illustrator, photographer and commission artist under the name of her graphic art studio, Lix Creative.
2016 saw her return her focus to full-time conceptual fine art and exhibition.
