About Neville Smitheram
Born in Dunedin in 1962, Neville Smitheram studied at Elam School of Fine Arts at the University of Auckland, graduating in 1984 with a Bachelor of Arts.

He exhibited extensively in Auckland before returning to his home town of Levin, 550km south of Auckland, where he lives and works in a large studio space in the semi-industrial part of town.
