Being

Creative visual thinking is fundamental to us all as human beings as we strive to understand our sense of self and the world. Chartwell seeks to deepen understanding about the importance of art and creative thinking for our future and our wellbeing.

Making

Chartwell supports artists as they make and think. Making is an active and connected process, involving the interaction of intention, intuition and intellect with the mediums of the world. Chartwell is making too - making a difference through philanthropy and enabling access to creative activities and research.

Suji Park

Suji Park (born 1985) is a Korean-New Zealand ceramic sculptor and artist. In 2015, she was Artist in Residence at McCahon House in Auckland, New Zealand.

Park was born in Seoul, Korea, and moved to New Zealand with her family when she was 12 years old. She studied at Elam School of Fine Arts, University of Auckland, graduating with a Masters in Fine Arts in 2013. Many of Park's pieces are of distorted human forms, although vessels and abstract objects are also produced. Some of her art works are created in metal but appear to be ceramic, or are ceramic with a metallic glaze.

Park's work has been exhibited in solo shows at galleries in Auckland and Dunedin, the Dowse Art Museum, Waitakere Contemporary Gallery and at the Sculpture on the Gulf exhibition on Waiheke Island.
