Minu Freitag is a writer, illustrator, and maker. Her current focus is on traditional printmaking, paintings on recycled wood and paper mache sculptures. Drawing from her experience in commercial design in Germany, Minu now lives and works as an independent artist and maker in Wellington, New Zealand.
Minu Keeps her art practice as sustainable and ecological as possible, working with reused or recycled and locally sourced materials. Minu avoids plastics and chemicals wherever she can and her canvases are off-cuts or reclaimed wood. Minu’s paper mache creatures are made from recycled paper bags and packaging, and her plush creatures are made from local wool felt and recycled fabrics.
