Clive Humphreys is a printmaker and painter whose work is represented in many private and public collections, including Auckland City Gallery, Te Papa Wellington, Dunedin Public Art Gallery, The Hocken Gallery and Christchurch City Gallery.

Recently he has developed a focus on watercolour and drawing to explore the ancient primeval process of forest and landscape on Waiheke Island where he lives.

His fascination with watercolour was the result of a research visit to London in 2012. His technical development of this medium is crucially informed by his stencil-making experience in printmaking.

Clive graduated from Kingston College of Art and Design, London, in 1970. Since then he has worked and exhibited extensively. In 2015, he was the recipient of a National Tertiary Teaching Excellence Award and awarded an Honorary Master of Fine Arts in 2020.
