Terry Scott finds the amazing changing landscapes of his home country NZ, and the diverse range of timbers available continuing inspiration for his woodturning. Such an environment fosters Terry’s innate passion and life long commitment to all things wood. In recent years his work has evolved and my creations can now be viewed in terms of wood art. Terry is honoured to have many such pieces residing in notable collections world wide.

Warren Bray uses many types of timber, predominately New Zealand native woods including Swamp Kauri, Pohutakawa, Rimu, and the Puriri that has grown in our local area for many hundreds of years. “I love the feel and texture of the wood, and enjoy watching the beauty and peacefulness of the unknown patterns of the grain as it exposes itself to the world”.

Margaret Bray says, “Combinations of Art, Conservation, Community and Family are driving forces that guide my life; It’s exciting to redefine something, the heap of remnant scraps that have collected over decades, transformed by arrangement into an article, to be read – soft clay turned to stone to help nourish and serve the bearer, and an compulsion to memorialise time in light; captured by camera.”

Beginning in 2015 Brenda Hollinshead began experimenting with wire which started taking human form. From aluminium wire she configures human size sculptures or larger of men,women and children. Realism and movement is what Brenda tries to achieve for them to look real; without this they appear lifeless. To date are 20 sculptures which Brenda exhibits into various events.

Marietta Coney born in Auckland has been painting for 25 years, her preferred choice of subject matter being still life. These striking, well-executed works successfully marry familiar objects with forms of flora and fauna. Each composition embraces the most striking aspects of colour, light and textural elements present in the chosen subject. They possess a quality of timelessness.

After completing a Carpentry Apprenticeship, and 25 years in the construction sector as a Quantity Surveyor, I’ve turned a new page to get back into hands-on creating, playing, exploring, designing and making high quality pieces which are aesthetically beautiful yet functional and affordable. We are only limited by our imaginations, with a CNC machine im able to push those boundaries.
