The smooth copper stems are soft enough to gently bend

and the Bluff rising quietly in the distance

framed by native bush and an expansive sky

Marie Kjestrup Evans distils Ahuriri down to its bones the historic buildings, the ocean, the yachts catching the wind in a bold, restricted palette of red, black and white, lifted by sweeping strokes of gold that give this much loved village its warmth and soul. Dramatic, confident, and deeply connected to place. Artist: Marie Kjestrup Evans   Medium: Mixed Media on Canvas   Dimensions: 100cm (w) 80cm (h)
