"Te Pūrākau o ngā Toa Maunga" (“The story of the Mountain Warriors” )
- 135 x 65 cm
Gather around, my dear mokopuna, and let me tell you the ancient tales of our sacred mountains in the Tongariro National Park. Long, long ago, these mountains were not just towering peaks but mighty warriors with hearts and spirits. Tongariro, the eldest and wisest, stood tall with his brothers, Ngauruhoe and Ruapehu. They were the guardians of our land, watching over the forests and the people. One day, a beautiful maiden named Pihanga appeared, her beauty so radiant that it captured the hearts of all the mountains. A great battle ensued, with each mountain fighting fiercely for Pihanga’s love. The earth trembled, and the skies roared as they clashed. Tongariro, with his strength and wisdom, emerged victorious, claiming Pihanga as his own. The defeated mountains, Taranaki and Tauhara, were banished. Taranaki fled to the west, creating the Taranaki region, while Tauhara retreated to the north, where he still watches over Lake Taupo. These mountains, my dear ones, are not just rocks and soil. They are our ancestors, our guardians. They remind us of the strength, love, and spirit of our people. So, whenever you see their peaks shrouded in mist, remember the ancient legends and the enduring spirit of our ancestors.................... See price list for different sizes

My recent photography trip to Cape Palliser was nothing short of spectacular. As I navigated the cattle yards and loading ramp, I found myself gazing through a perfect frame toward Whangaimoana Beach. The scene unfolded like a painting: the beach leading to the expansive ocean and, further beyond, the majestic Mount McKerrow against a backdrop of pristine blue skies. This view embodies what I adore about New Zealand: the promise of an incredible sight at every corner and an amazing view down every road. Each step I took on this journey offered new perspectives and untold beauty. My camera lens captured the essence of this rugged coastline, the history etched into every rock and wave. Standing there, I felt a deep connection to the land—a reminder of nature’s relentless beauty and power. Cape Palliser is a testament to the awe-inspiring landscapes that define New Zealand, making every photography trip a cherished adventure.

"Wanderer's Path"
- 50 x 75 cm
A trail of footsteps winds up the sandy dune, each imprint a silent testament to a past journey. Who walked this path? Where did they go? The steps disappear over the crest, a mystery inviting the mind to wander. Perhaps it was an adventurer, drawn by the allure of what lay beyond. Maybe it was someone seeking solace, finding peace in the rhythm of the waves. The footsteps are now a gentle reminder of exploration and curiosity. Every mark in the sand tells a story, urging us to ponder and imagine the unseen adventures just over the horizon........... See price list for different sizes
