Amelia Guild is a self-taught artist who paints vibrant acrylic images of rural life.
She lives on a high country sheep, beef and deer station and loves portraying her brother's Hereford cows in the kind of bright, pop art colours not normally associated with agriculture.
Amelia's love of art started at high school in Christchurch and she admits that she was painting cows back then as well. She spoke to The Country Early Edition's Dom George about making a career in the art world while sticking to her rural roots.
Guild says although her following is predominantly rural she has had success elsewhere as "cows translate" and "you don't have to own one to appreciate having one on your wall."
