Belgian/New Zealand artist and architectural graduate Saskia Baetens was born in Turnhout Belgium and now lives and works in Auckland.

Baetens' sculptures mix imagery from her childhood, from enchanted summer days, dreams and stories, real life observations of pet animals, myths and collective memories embodied in heroic bronze. Her sculptures invite the viewer to a deceivingly simple journey of imagination and explorative fascination about what might co-exist within the realms of the animal kingdom.
