Castlepoint Beach Tranquility
"The road Home" (BW)
- 120 x 51 cm
This old gravel road has seen the passage of time etched into its stones. Winding through the serene New Zealand countryside, it leads straight into the horizon where the sky kisses the hills. Once, it was a lifeline for farmers and traders, bustling with the steady clop of hooves and the rumble of early tractors. Generations have walked its path, each footprint a testament to the simplicity and resilience of rural life. Today, it's quieter, a relic of a bygone era, whispering tales of hard work and community. This road is not just a pathway—it's a journey through history.

Castle Point Light House
- 120 x 80 cm
let me tell you a bit about the Castlepoint Lighthouse. It's this incredible structure on the Wairarapa Coast, standing tall since 1913. You know, it was originally lit by oil and officially started shining on January 12th, 1913. Imagine that! Its light, a triple flash every 45 seconds, could be seen for 35 kilometers. Pretty cool, right? Then, in 1954, they switched out the oil lamp for an electric incandescent one. By 1961, it was connected to the mains grid, and in 1988, it became fully automated. Maritime New Zealand monitors it 24/7 now. It's the tallest lighthouse on the North Island, standing 52 meters above sea level. Fun fact: it's one of only two in New Zealand still using the original rotating Fresnel lens. People love visiting it, and it's often called the "Holiday Light" because of its picturesque location and popularity among tourists. It's such an iconic piece of our coastal history..........
