SEA STAR STUDIO

Stephanie Sinclaire and Katherine Wyeth founded Sea Star Studio in 2012, housed in a spacious venue in Seatoun, Wellington that had in past years been a pharmacy and Waitangi Disaster Museum, a toy factory and a Masonic Lodge.

For two years they presented large themed art exhibitions, circus, play readings, photoshoots, screenplay readings, think tanks, trauma relief workshops, children's activities and poetry readings and sell out concerts featuring jazz, blues, pop, opera and show tunes, before leaving the venue and evolving into the film company Sea Star Creations in 2014.

The most significant exhibitions were Circus of the Soul, curated by Stephanie and Amber Varde, featuring NZ based artists from the highly noted to emerging, with models dressed as figures from the art work on opening night; and Sister Selves, a retrospective of the work of Stephanie Sinclaire curated by Cat Auburn. See below for images from both.
