About ‘Daughters of Eve’
‘Daughters of Eve’ celebrates women in history, literature, and mythology. The ones who history has overlooked or ignored, whose work has been attributed to males or who inspire us to be better and to believe in our own strength: from goddess like Athena, Hecate, or Sekhmet; warriors and leaders like Boudicca or Olga of Kiev; diplomats and rulers including Kubaba or Cleopatra; trailblazers, scientists, and rule breakers.
As the exhibition is to be a celebration of women, a portion of the sales will be donated to Women’s Refuge, a New Zealand organisation supporting women and children experiencing family violence.
Artists featured: Lesley Thiel, Angelika Rasmus, Caroline Gaudrealt, Grace Netanya, Natasha Zraikat, Gokcen Yuksek, Heidi Lustig, Haejin Yoo, Fiona Francois, Maree Robertson, Jennifer Bruce, Selene Cochrane, Crystal James, Hajnalka Mayor, Rossella Paolini, Briana Hertzog, Ariane Kamps, Lara Hochreiter, Jennifer Allnutt, Carne Griffiths, Larysa Bernhardt, Ito Chieko, Meredith Marsone, Anna Karvounari
About Quirky Fox Gallery
When things got a bit messy in 2012, the owner of Quirky Fox, Vicki, decided to take a risk, quit her job and open her own business. Sick of seeing the same thing in every shop, Quirky Fox set out to showcase something a little bit different. Starting with a mixture of independent artists and commercially produced items, Vicki found working with independent artists more meaningful, rewarding and challenging.
With this in mind, Quirky Fox made the transition from design store to gallery. Showcasing both established and emerging talents, Quirky Fox invites both New Zealand and international artists to be part of its carefully curated range; all international artists are exclusive to the gallery within New Zealand, while New Zealand artists are exclusive to the gallery within the Taranaki region. Quirky Fox aims to provide a home for artists working in new contemporary and representational styles and introduce their works New Zealand and an international audience.
In 2019, Quirky Fox started to offer custom framing to complement the gallery. While taking customer preferences into consideration, the gallery aims to frame in a way that moves away from boring, white, decor-friendly frames towards pieces that enhance the artwork and continue to tell the artist’s story.
In late 2024, Quirky Fox purchased a building which it converted into a custom gallery space. The building was renovated over a two month period, before re-opening in 2025. This space has allowed the gallery to further hone its unique curated style, with a seperate gallery for exhibitions.
Each year the gallery donates to an environmental or mental health charity through its anniversary exhibition. As Quirky Fox continues to evolve and grow, we hope you will join us and our artists on our journey.
