One thing I've had fun with while here in New Zealand is being able to experience a great amount of the local art scene...through art galleries, art exhibitions, colorful murals, and conversations with artists.
I've learned about new ways to hang art in galleries...like this round hole & peg hanging system in a gallery in Raglan...
gotten to see a pottery workshop at the Raglan wharf...
enjoyed this wall mural outside of a backpackers hostel near the beach...
went to an art opening at a local shoe shop...
experienced the local scenery through a resident artist's eyes...
marveled at the colorfully painted vans for tourism...
enjoyed a new take on some older art...
gazed at some modern views of New Zealand patterns...
hung out at an artsy-bohemian cafe...
chatted with an artist painting for his living on the east coast...
and viewed a beach I was unable to stand on...through a painters eyes. I've really had a great time enjoying the art of New Zealand...whether it be tribal Maori art or modern Kiwi art...it's all been inspiring and inviting to my artistic heart.
