Tove Spary is a painter who moved to Tāmaki Makaurau from the United Kingdom as a teenager. She spent much of her twenties undergoing a process of self realisation through therapy and her gender transition, then began her practice with a conviction to make sense of her position in a world that seems at odds with itself. She paints predominantly in acrylics, and skirts the line between figurative depictions and abstract reimaginings of traditional subjects.
