This work is a tribute to the vivid beauty and natural energy of Tāwharanui — a place where rolling green hills meet clear, open waters, and where the land feels both wild and deeply grounding.
Painted in acrylic and layered with water-based oil, the piece captures the contrasts that define this coastal landscape: deep, lush greens against the bright blues of a clear day, the softness of the land meeting the endless rhythm of the sea.
Rather than simply depicting a location, Tāwharanui aims to hold a feeling — the warmth of the sun, the salt in the air, and the quiet clarity that comes from being surrounded by nature. It invites stillness and presence, offering a moment of connection to one of Aotearoa’s most cherished coastal sanctuaries.
