Mandy Patmore is an award-winning multi-media environmental artist, educator, and social advocate based in Karekare, on Auckland’s west coast.
​

Her work is deeply intertwined with the New Zealand landscape, focusing on themes of deforestation, habitat loss, and the preservation of native species.​ Patmore uses her practice to highlight human impact on the landscape and the plight of numerous endangered native species, including our insects ,birds, the long-tailed bat (Pekapeka tou roa) and long-finned eel.

​

In late 2023, Patmore shared her personal experiences of Cyclone Gabrielle, which devastated her home community of Karekare, through an oral history project with Auckland Libraries. She continues to exhibit her work, recently completing Artist in Residence programmes in Peru in 2024, and Iceland in 2025.
