Juria Chuah aka Shorty
Shorty comes from a mixed creative background. With art and design being consistent strengths and passions throughout school, she completed a Diploma of Art & Design, studied a Bachelor of Spatial Design and then moved onto a Diploma of Computer Graphic Design.  After noticing more and more art exhibitions around Auckland, Shorty was inspired to get her work onto the art scene. Her first works were displayed in a 2003 show and the invitations to do further shows followed from there. 

Over the years, Shorty’s style has developed and mediums have varied. Her main medium is acrylic and ink on canvas/hardboard with a style of pseudo pin-up/pop art graphics. Most recently she has experimented with, and exhibited, stencil art. All of this creative work is combined with work in the Graphic Design industry as a creative and more recently work in the advertising industry as an art director.

Shorty uses an extensive range of Resene colours, chosen because the colours are consistent and there is a huge durable colour range to choose from.  After years of using artist and student acrylics, she found that Resene paints were much more reliable and would produce a perfect finish every time. Her favourite Resene product is the Resene testpots range, especially the warm hues from the Multi-Finish range.
