Bernadette Ballantyne ART
Capturing moments of connection through soft pastel.Bernadette is a Waikato-based artist with a deep love for the beauty of everyday life.
When her children were younger, she began her exploration into the soft pastel medium and hasn’t looked back. Exploring a range of subjects in her work, the consistent theme of time passing and the incentive to capture fleeting moments, is forever present.

Classes
Head here for details about my upcoming painting and soft pastel classes!
I create limited edition Giclée prints of most of my soft pastel works. Most editions are limited to 10-25 and are printed using museum quality archival inks and high quality fine art papers.
Please note: I only release prints two or three times a year to allow me more time to create art in-between drops. Please, sign up to my mailing list, if you’d like to know when releases are scheduled!
