Daniëlla Hulme is a
full-time established artist based in Auckland, New Zealand. She has been involved in numerous group and
solo shows since 1998 both in NZ and overseas.
Her works reflect the union of two cultures, her own Dutch heritage and her
husband's Samoan heritage. Themes of Pacific navigation, ideal utopian
celebrations of Pacifica and living in idyllic settings to the urbanisations
of cultures, the need to respect cultural differences and the pressures to
maintain cultural identities underpins her work.
"Strong, bright colours and clearly delineated, stylised motifs reminiscent
of Pacific Islands' Tapa cloths and carvings combine to striking effect in
the works of Daniëlla Hulme"; Lyndall Jefferies,
Gulf News 2007
In 2006 her work was bought by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Tourism,
NZ embassy in Den Hague, Holland.
In 2007 her work was featured in Disney movie " Johnny Kapahala" and was a
