I’m Santie Cronje, a visual artist and curator, based in the South Waikato countryside near Tīrau, New Zealand. My creative process is fuelled by a natural curiosity and a continuous search for the meaning of my very short time on this planet. Art has been a lifelong companion and a way to navigate the complexities of understanding life and my place in it.

My studies in Art History and Philosophy sit at the heart of my practice. They are subjects I majored in, but continue to learn from. As in life, my art is a tale of constant discovery.
