Tom Shackleton 
— Artist/Designer


Tom is a contemporary multimedia artist and designer who graduated from Elam School of Fine Arts in 2020. He currently works out of central Auckland.



As an artist and designer based in Auckland, New Zealand, I've had the pleasure of working on lots of commercial projects:

  • Photo assisting for leading commercial photographers including Simon Devitt, Holly Sarah Burgess, and more.
  • Designing for brands such as Checks Downtown, Flying Out, Vera Ellen, and Marlon Williams.
  • Screen Printing  for clients: Vera Ellen, Hans Pucket, Extended Whanau, Kowtow, Flying Out + more.
  • Retouching services for clients like Entire Studios, Number One Shoes, REBE, Yu Mei, Baina, and WorkGroup.
  • Video editing for Recorded Music, Maxwell Young, Geneva AM, Flying Out, and more.
  • Event photography for The Arts Foundation, DDB, Mango, Someday Studios, and others.

Please get in touch with me if I can be of use to you with any of the above services.




Tom’s artistic practice leans towards collaboration and experimentation with traditionally unconventional ways of installing works. Previous and on-going works include large scale sculptures, screen-printing, collaborative video works, music production, film photography, graphic design and organising TOMFEST. Tom is interested in notions of “the gestalt” in installation; preferring to create immersive experiences over stand alone objects. He merges this concept with pop culture referents to create his own multi-dimensional universes, where his creations live.

Tom’s work has been shown at:
  • satchi and satchi and satchi, Auckland, NZ, 2019.
  • George Fraser Gallery, Auckland, NZ, 2019.
  • Project Space, Auckland, NZ, 2018.
