If you have been to the Suite Gallery on Cuba Street in Wellington you will know how wonderful the artwork is. Well, luckily for Aucklanders there is a new Suite in Ponsonby. One of my personal favourites is the thoughtfully challenging work by New Zealand artist Wayne Youle. Go check it out.

I recently visited the Auckland Art Fair ( just before level 3 lockdown) What an amazing experience…so many talented artists and dedicated art galleries. The 2020 art fair was online so it was wonderful to see so many works”in the flesh” this year. Make sure you put this on your calendar for next year.

Brett Graham is one of New Zealand’s most prolific young Maori artists. There are several of his new masterpieces at The Auckland Art Gallery. Intricately carved patterns mesmerise each viewer and make you wonder what will he come up with next?
I went to Sanderson Gallery in Newmarket last weekend and viewed the beautifully sculptural works by artist Ray Haydon. They look like frozen ribbons of time. They look quite delicate however they are very robust and each has a different surface texture.
Beautiful curving sculptural forms.
A few weeks back I had the good fortune to visit Sam Mitchell’s bold, playful, painted works at Melanie Roger Gallery in K Road Auckland. These new paintings are typical of her colourful style. Some of my favourites were painted on clear plastic glass which made the works sing. Close to the space was another gallery that I was lucky to stop by. Limn Gallery in Ponsonby had an assortment of beautiful pop art works. One of my favourites was from the talented Auckland artist Brad Novak aka “Blood Pop”.
Fo Guang Shan Buddhist Temple located at 16 Stancombe Road in Auckland currently has an excellent art exhibition showcasing art from all over New Zealand. I feel honoured to be one of the artists showing at this phenomenal site. The art exhibition is open until the 29th of November. the 29th of November. 
Amazing work!
I was very fortunate to visit around 10 extremely varied and very talented artists in Raglan last weekend. The weather was perfect and the vibes were wonderful. My personal favourite were the funky bright paintings of Sam Mathers. I will definitely go again next year.
Simon Stockley makes beautiful, bright, vivid imaginary scenes that are strangely familiar and easily recognisable. Traditionally a painter Simon also creates amazing futuristic images on the computer.
Another artist currently showing at Endemic world is the abstract painter Alice Berry. She has a number of organic, textural works that come out of the picture frame. The colours are earthy and meditative.
