Winter is coming…

Starting to get colder, time for quiet creativity. The studio is coming along amongst all the other busyness!

I can actually see the floor now!

There are new exhibitions up at the Waiheke Community Art Gallery and Anomalous and around the motu now the seasons beckon more indoor activities and contemplation.

As always check out the Waiheke Art Map and check out what everyone is up to – have a great Autumn everyone!

New Waiheke astrophotography postcards available here and at the Waiheke Community Art Gallery – watch this space!

Winter 2022..sort of

Night Swimming - Galactic Core from Alison Park

Here we are, mid May and I’m in a T shirt! It’s been a while since I’ve posted and there’s a LOT going on. We’ve had a great summer with Sculpture on the Gulf, Sculpt Oneroa, new galleries and studio’s opening on the island (check out the 2022 Art Map) and more! The project for this winter is exploring the DARK!. It’s galactic Core season, (speaking with my astro hat on) and familiar places are magic by night, it’s amazing, beautiful and inspiring!

Check out a few initial ‘sketches’ – Watch this Space!

Check out the latest at the Waiheke Community Art Gallery and Facebook pages Kahui Creative Network and Waiheke Artists. Take care everyone!

Looking forward to Level 2!

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!
