With over 25 years’ experience, her delicate pottery boasts colourful designs and landscape scenes on black or sandy backgrounds. Her ceramics range in shape and size from winged vases and tall roosters to round floor pots and sculptural kimonos. Through the miracle of hand, heart, and soul you literally make something out of nothing. Each piece of my art fulfills its greatest purpose when it enhances a person's life, or finds its home in someone's heart. Clay has always been Dulcie's preferred medium of artistic expression, although she enjoys painting as well. Colour variances and mistakes are retained as part of the process. Although clay is relatively valueless in its raw state, it can be transformed by pushing, scraping, paddling into almost any imaginable shape and then decorated with designs and glaze. Each of Dulcie’s pieces is individually handmade, and original (one of a kind).

René Baxalle came to fine art woodturning when he was given a lathe in 2001. Previously, he had associated woodturning exclusively with furniture—banister, table legs. After joining a local woodturners club, he discovered the creative potential of the lathe. Early on, he started experimenting with woven wood inlays, liking the intricacy of weaving and the way each strand blends and connects with others to become one. To him, each strand can represent an experience in someone’s life, and the resulting woven form is the person’s mind or soul. René grew up on a farm in the southwest of France, in an area called Dordogne. He moved to New Zealand in 1991. He found the transition liberating, moving from a country steeped in tradition to a newer, younger country, more willing to embrace innovation and creativity. I didn’t choose woodwork as a career but instead opted for the electrical trade. This might be the reason I so love working with wood now. René describes staying at home to look after their two children as a turning point in his life. As he explains, spending time with young children can be a rich experience, a chance to see the world through different eyes. René does not use synthetic material and will not use glue if he can avoid it because, as he says, he want the different parts which form a piece to want to be together, not be forced. Another design he likes involves overlapping pieces of wood like the cladding of wooden houses or the sides of wooden clinker boats. This style, found in his waka huia (Māori war canoe), is similar to wood weaving, with all parts supporting each other to become one. René belongs to woodturning Auckland clubs and wood working nz societies. His work is held in private collections across New Zealand. He is available for commissions, including to create stands for other artworks (as in the example pictured).

Find Auckland art museums in New Zealand. About Us Making connections through art Kia Ora Koutou e nga Manuhiri. Nau mai, haere mai, haere mai. Hello and welcome to our gallery of established and emerging artists from Aotearoa New Zealand. Art by the Sea virtual tour Our Story Art by the Sea was established in 1991 in the historic Duders building on the waterfront of the seaside suburb, Devonport to showcase New Zealand art and artists. We would like to acknowledge the hard mahi of Bronwyn Davies who ran the Devonport art gallery for its first ten years in business and established its integral connection with the Devonport community. The current owners, Mike and Linda Geers, purchased the business in 2001 and built it up to the reputable Auckland art gallery it is today. Following the move to Takapuna in 2021, Art by the Sea has established strong ties to the Takapuna and Milford communities. We are honoured by the support and welcome we have received. We could (and may!) write a book with the stories that have travelled through or begun at Art by the Sea. Mike and Linda Geers interviewed by Mandy Jakich, Creative Connections Podcasts , Episode 188 (full interview below) There have been floods (in 2001 and during the infamous Auckland Floods 2023). There was the drunk driver who crashed their car through the front window. There have been practical jokes, such as the time we placed a giant sandstone kina on the beach by the ferry on April Fools’ Day, or a few years later when we precariously climbed the Edwards Parade clock tower to balance presents on top at Christmas. And there have been incredible community events—charity fundraisers for Amnesty International, War Child, the Key to Life Trust. On these nights, the gallery came alive as we witnessed poets and artists joining together in creative expression about human rights, children affected by war and conflict, and mental health awareness. The stories will continue... Today, Art by the Sea stands as a respected Auckland art gallery showcasing a wide variety of fine and affordable original art and limited edition prints from across Aotearoa New Zealand. We are proud to have a sister gallery, Art by the River , in Whanganui. Art by the Sea is a business but it is also a communal space that draws in residents and travellers alike seeking a little time-out and inspiration away from the chaos of today. We are kaitiaki (guardians) of this space. And this space provides manaakitanga (respect, support, and hospitality) to all who visit it. Hei kona mai. We look forward to welcoming you into our gallery. Linda and Mike Geers

Julia Lochhead is a fine art photographer from Mount Maunganui, New Zealand. Her soft, long exposure seascapes evoke feelings of tranquility and peace, offering a quiet sanctuary from the chaos of the world today. At the same time, the familiar NZ beach art and coastal photos ground us in nature, reminding us that there is more to the world than just ourselves. My work blurs the line between painting and photography by using varying lengths of exposure and natural movement of the ocean. I capture not only a moment in time but also create that feeling that brings you back to your senses, back to your breath, and back to you. Julia grew up in rural New Zealand and developed a strong connection to nature and, especially, the ocean. Long summer holidays were spent by the beach and the water became her “soulful place.” She fell in love with photographic art, especially that concerned with creating movement, while attending a course at the London School of Photography. I began learning to capture what it was that I was feeling and with this, photography became the way I saw the world. After eight years, Julia came back home to further progress her passion by completing a 2-year diploma in Photographic Imaging. This formed a solid foundation for her to refine and evolve her techniques in fine art photography. She has had successful exhibitions at a local gallery in Mount Maunganui and has appeared in exhibitions at Art by the Sea, where many of her works are sold.

Rosemary’s fine art background in still life and figure drawing coupled with her passion for horse riding has translated into a very contemporary version of the horse. While she has painted equestrian horses, Rosemary has a particular interest in the discipline of dressage. What I have always wanted to express in this imagery is the definition of the weight and mass of the horse, as well as the power and elegance in articulation. This is so clearly seen in dressage, itself an art form based on both physical and visual aesthetics. Dressage enhances the way a horse moves naturally, and at its best shows full harmony between horse and rider; horse and rider become a single entity. My intention is that my paintings should celebrate the athleticism and eloquence of this discipline, which demands a monumental approach, with simplicity and scale. Rosemary’s horse painting demonstrates her attention to structural detail and composition. At the same time, she is adept at translating the movement of the horse, especially in those paintings putting greater emphasis on the choreography of dressage. …the point is to catch the intrinsic quality of the movement… not always technically correct, and mostly not evident in photo records ...which is why it is better to watch and draw, better to remember and construct, rather than to copy minutely from photos, because this best expresses the way the horse actually goes. Rosemary deliberately paints little of the riders to ensure that the focus is on the horse. As she says herself, “…if the rider is very capable s/he becomes invisible, and the horse appears to go miraculously of its own volition without evident direction, and really the rider is identifiable by their hands and seat alone, their position… it is then possible to imagine the rider to be anyone, even one's own self.” Graduating with a degree from the University of Auckland’s Ilam Art School, Rosemary has painted and exhibited regularly since 1975. She has taught Art and Art History in secondary schools in Dunedin, Gisborne, Auckland, and Melbourne in Australia. Her paintings are in private collections across the country.
