Summer is on it’s way and the traffic light system is all go! Cant wait to get stuck in to a new group of works so overdue!
We’ve been flat out down at the Waiheke Community Art Gallery during all the various stages of lockdown so bring on the summer shows!
The Waiheke Art Map 2022 will be available following the opening of the Art Map Artists show on 19 December, it’s getting big, and a few more studios out Onetangi way which is great! Watch this space!
Staysafe everyone and Be Kind!
Well, where did the time go? ….. now after another lockdown at Level 4, hopefully the team of 5 mill is getting on top of this latest outbreak ! Haven’t been posting very much as have been so busy at work, however very excited about getting back into the studio soon.
The Members Show is up at the Waiheke Community Art gallery at the moment. Locked in you could say! – however, it is available to see online. Check out new work, Night Swimming – Galactic Core.
Also, the Artist in Residence Bronwen Newbury has her exhibition ‘Falling Light’ online, absolutely beautiful work.
We’re getting ready to produce the next Waiheke Art Map 2022, soooo looking forward to summer!
Kia Kaha everyone, stay safe and see you soon!
Well what a summer, intermittent lockdowns, in between the island is a flurry of events and activities engaging the domestic market to come along and visit.
I’m really looking forward to a quiet winter creating with a list a mile long from trips to the South Coast of the Wairarapa, Rakiura Stewart Island and around Waiheke.
Winter is a time to hunker down and back into the garden, always a source of inspiration and peace, and looking forward to a bit of rain!
Visit again soon for a more detailed schedule of events and new works, until then, keep creating!
Spring is here!
Really looking forward to working on a new suite of works and schedule of exhibitions at the studio and a quiet pop up in downtown Auckland. The 2021 Art Map is underway and exciting new shows at the Waiheke Community Art Gallery!
Visit this page again soon for more details and updates or check out more images and more on @stellagram and facebook
So looking forward to getting back in the studio again, it’s been so busy over these last few weeks. It has flown by in its own strange way. As we all move onto the next stage of this journey, stay safe, be kind, create!

Just a heads up, brilliant new exhibitions open at the Waiheke Community Art Gallery this Friday at 6pm – all Welcome!
Also new postcards have arrived look fab, available at the gallery, studio and by post.
It has been an extraordinary few months of hot dry weather, great for the beach and fantastic sunsets. (Looking forward to a bit of rain tho’! :))
Pop into the studio this weekend on the way up to Peacock Sky’s Trig Hill Craft and Music Fair this Sunday March 1.
If the weather keeps up it’ll be another sunset session on the deck and Stargazing later on in the evening. Glorious!

Hey there! What a week! After experiencing last weeks strange skies here, from over 2,000 kms away, hearts and hands go out to Australia, where the bush-fires are still raging. I can’t knit, (yet:)) so all works are on summer sale, (making room for a new suite of paintings over 2020) and all proceeds towards WIRES. https://www.wires.org.au/
Summer’s here and with it, the Art Map 2020 out now, available at the gallery and up at the studio. Have been quite busy over the holiday period, but this weekend, a bit of studio time, yes!
Come on up, I’m having a celebration summer sale! The guitar will be out and later on if it’s clear well be having a look at Orion, Matariki and the ‘fainting’ Betelgeuse… who knows…. we can imagine it going Supernova!
It’s that time of the year again when we’re planning for the summer season over here on Waiheke, kicking off with a special double page map of the island in the Waiheke Weekender featuring artists studios and galleries along with the vineyards, olive groves and other activities.
