His style is diverse, ranging from early metal collages of boats and sailing life to classic plein-air paintings of NZ to modern downtown city scenes. More recently, Graham has enjoyed painting beautiful and wildly colourful flower gardens, often with a white villa stark against the sky in the background. I have the whole world in my garden, a place for reflecting on life and nature. Graham has been carrying his paint box around since he was about eight years old. He paints in both oil and acrylic, depending on the artwork. In his early quirky conceptual collages, he was known to upcycle metal and found objects. New Zealand art critic, T. J. McNamara, has described Graham's NZ landscape art as "filled with light and full of charm and joy in water, clouds and sky.” I have had a lifetime of conceptual art, but I find that now I have returned to the beginning. My paintings are a synthesis of sketchbook drawings and memory, expressing the visual poetry that resonates within the bounds of my past and present. To express that tranquillity in my own language and to acknowledge how beauty can be in the common world around us and let my paintings be a refuge from the everyday tribulations, and to celebrate nature is my raison d’etre. Starting his career as an advertising art director and illustrator, Graham worked for many international agencies. He won many awards in this role, working on iconic NZ brands like Air NZ, Edmonds, Hubbard cereals, Cuisine Magazine, Belly-Gully, and more. Up until his retirement, painting was Graham’s escape from the commercial world. Now, he is able to devote more time to his passion.

Her artwork offers a skilled explosion of life and colour, evoking the riot of growth, delicacy, and resilience to be found in flower gardens. Zoe has worked as full-time artist since the early 2000s, painting for exhibitions, on commission for hotels and restaurants and overseas clients, and completing a number of large murals. In New Zealand, her early work featured still life paintings of glass bottles. When I was a child, I always love glassware, such as glass bead, necklace, and button. Each time I watched the light that show through the colourful glass and reflected into spontaneous pattern, it aroused my imagination endlessly… from fairy tales, Cinderella’s crystal shoes to lighting magic, and a wild fancy. I came to New Zealand 5 years ago. Collecting old glass bottles become one of my hobbies; they were all well made by hand, some of them over a hundred years. I was attracted by their simple forms, pure colours and full of mystery… each bottle is a unique creation and has its own unique story, and I tried to capture all these feelings and merged to my painted image… I wondered where it drifts from, what was inside the bottle originally. What would it's owner look like… might be "The old fisherman" (Hemingway)… or a beautiful rich lady… until today it hides somewhere under the ground, quietly laid on the beach and buried by sand day after day until someone picks it up. Following four years studying graphic design at Chongqing University in China in the 80s, Zoe became an avid painter. She worked as a graphic designer for a magazine in Beijing and in the design department of a Chongqing television station, and painted in her spare time. She finally opened her own professional studio after completing an oil painting course at Sichuan Artists College in 2000. The College retained two of her oil paintings for permanent display. She moved to New Zealand in 2007 where she worked part-time in a flower shop and was inspired by the dual fragility and resilience she found in the flowers, delicate in beauty and yet able to survive journeys to different climates and plant roots in new soil. Many of her paintings evoke half-remembered emotional experiences to do with human interactions, relationships, and self-discovery. Zoe was a featured artist at the 2002 Guangdong Artists Exhibition and a nude oil painting of hers appeared in the art book they subsequently published. She received a commendation for excellence at the 2003 Chongqing Art Teachers Exhibition. Zoe has held sell-out exhibitions of her flower art at Art by the Sea since 2019, with clients often commissioning further work from her when all pieces have sold.

Lazer cut metal art NZ by Sean Crawford. Sean's innovative steel artwork and mixed media art are inspired by NZ landscapes, history, and social and environmental issues. Find contemporary NZ artists and garden art NZ at Art by the Sea Gallery. Sean Crawford Laser Cut Metal Art NZ Sean Crawford is an internationally acclaimed New Zealand sculptor and storyteller from the rural Wairarapa. He works in a range of materials, including taxidermy, mixed media art, and laser-cut metal art (NZ), and is inspired by NZ landscapes, history, and social and environmental issues. More > Rustic Huntaway Price $2,995.00 Mantle Price $7,500.00 Kuri and the Hare Price $15,500.00 Follow My Path Price $50,000.00 Bio It is not the object that defines us - it merely implicates us. Sean Crawford is a successful New Zealand sculptor who has attained national and international recognition for his innovative multimedia and steel artwork. Originally Wellington-based but now living in the rural Wairarapa, his works are collected nationally and overseas. Known for having a layered approach to his art, Sean works in corten steel, laser-cut steel, reclaimed timber, and taxidermy, among other forms. His works are often large—depicting, for instance, a life-size antlered stag head—with intricate details, such as laser-cut fantail shapes or a metal huia bird skull. Sean’s artistic range includes: stainless steel garden art NZ cut into contemporary life-size animal sculptures; novel indoor and outdoor wall art NZ inspired by what he calls the ‘Pacific Modern’; and ecological art artistically exploring NZ landscapes and history in meticulous, multimedia detail. His inspirations are as varied as they are evolving. Techniques he learned from his boat building father interweave with creativity that frequently highlights environmental and social messages. History plays a role with some of Sean’s works questioning the contradictions of New Zealand's colonial past, whilst also being influenced by the Gothic storyteller Edgar Allen Poe and the paintings of Bill Hammond. Art and the great outdoors were features of Sean’s childhood. He could draw before he could walk (or so the family story goes!). Holidaying in the Wairarapa, Sean spent his summer helping out on local farms with livestock and pest control. Although he initially trained as a plumber, overseas travel rekindled his passion for art and design. On his return to New Zealand, he graduated with an honors degree in Design in 2003, and has been a full-time sculptor ever since. A highlight of Sean's career to date is his 2015 commission 'Waiting for Hammond', a two metre tall Huia bird sculpture set on a headland overlooking the Irish Sea. In New Zealand, his public work ‘The Head of John Doe’ was installed in Palmerston North in early 2022, and is sited near the entrance to the Te Manawa Arts Centre. His latest public sculpture is found in Masterton (in the Wairarapa). Titled ‘Distant Chant’, this two-piece work is made from corten steel. It stands approximately three meters high and depicts both male and female Huia ‘in flight’. Sean passionately believes that art should be as accessible as possible to all. His work is now being seen in even more public spaces, both in New Zealand and abroad. Outside the New Zealand embassy in Washington D.C. sits another commissioned piece. This work is titled ‘The Cloak of Remembrance’ and is an embracing cloak made of laser cut red poppies. It's a sign that his ideas, although largely home-grown, are respected and relevant on the world stage.

He is known for his modern art oil paintings on canvas based on moments captured in old photographs, particularly black-and-white photographs that he paints in colour. I try to breathe life and the moment into what are otherwise static records of a time and a place… I can’t reproduce with photographic accuracy, which is not my aim, but I can use colour to increase the depth of the image, creating something that the photo cannot be. Hamish used to spend hours sitting on the floor of the Auckland Public Library photographic section, deliberating long and hard about which photos he would paint. He is especially drawn to Magnum photographers like Robert Doisneau and Cartier-Bresson. His style comes across as almost illustrative, while retaining the memory of the photograph, with a surrealist edge. Hamish began his art career as a jeweller, receiving instruction in 1986 at the Daniel Clasby Workshop where he worked for two years before establishing his own workshop. He sold jewellery and small sculptures at The Fingers Contemporary Jewellery Gallery, and was involved with a group of young jewellers called Jewellery Unlimited which ran for several years until it dissolved. In 1986, he became involved with The Medallion Group and exhibited in three of the early shows. This group later renamed to become The Medallion Association of New Zealand, or MANZ, and has continued to show Hamish’s work. Hamish began painting in 1991 and has appeared in a number of exhibitions. Alongside Art by the Sea and MANZ, Hamish has exhibited his contemporary oil painting at The Cliff McPherson Gallery, Orexart, and Artis Gallery in Auckland.

He is known for his beautifully carved Māori pou (Māori totem pole), each with their own story. His work is very popular and each piece, when completed, is rarely in the gallery long. Ngahiwi is available for commissions. Please contact us for information about available works. More > Portfolio of Artwork Aroha Atu - Aroha Mai Love given is love received. These two pou (pillars) encapsulate the reciprocal nature of aroha (love/respect/compassion). It suggests that when we give aroha we open ourselves up to aroha in return.

They wear their chiefly ‘korowai’ tightly around their shoulders as a sign that they are fierce protectors as husband and wife for their whanau and those they love.

Pou te Whenua Exhibitions 30th Anniversary Group Show 2022 Bio Ngahiwi Walker is a Māori wood carver known for his beautifully crafted Māori sculpture or pou (pillars). His iwi (tribe) are Ngāti Porou in Tai Rāwhiti (the East Coast) of Aotearoa New Zealand’s Te Ika-a-Māui (North Island). Originally from Te Araroa in the Gisbourne Region, Ngahiwi is now based in Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland. Ngahiwi works mostly with macrocarpa and occasionally NZ tōtara. He hand-carves each piece, creating a charcoal effect with a blow torch and finishing with a bristled brush. Every pou tells a story in the Māori wood carving and the moko (tattoo), some tales and memories passed down by elders, others speaking to the mana (spiritual energy/standing) of men and women and their position within the iwi (tribe) and hapu (community). Ngahiwi began carving in 2003 to help someone he knew who had undergone a traumatic experience. He wanted to do something for them so he carved a pou. The family was taken away by it and very grateful. My first carvings were gifts for family members whose lives had been affected in some way by death or birth. Since then, I have been carving stories that I remember from way back. Ngahiwi’s contemporary Māori art is in high demand, often carved on commission. Pieces that do come into the gallery are gratefully received as they contribute much to the wairua (spirit) of our space. Ngahiwi is available for commissions. Please contact us for information about available works.

Lucy creates ecological art or protest art (artivism) concerned with environmental issues, particularly climate change (as we see in her travelling polar bears). While her subject matter is global and political, Lucy's work remains fervently empathetic in its creation and intent. Lucy graduated with a BA (Hons) degree from Bath Academy of Art, UK (1987), and settled in New Zealand in 1998. Her work has appeared in solo exhibitions and collective shows such as Sculpture on the Gulf Waiheke Island and Sculpture On the Shore Auckland.

She grew up and lives in the small town of Ngāruawāhia surrounded by the natural beats of the Waikato and Waipā rivers and the majestic Hakarimata ranges, a constant source of inspiration. She has a wide range, including NZ landscape paintings, flower paintings, and botanical work, but is particularly known at Art by the Sea gallery for her cubist fine art portrait painting inspired by her Tainui heritage. Lyndy’s style can be described as diverse, eclectic, and ever-evolving, which allows her the freedom to explore a wide range of subjects. Her figurative paintings often show people in domestic scenes, while her New Zealand landscape art depicts fiords and bays in twilight, often subtly lit with a fine touch of gold. The application of paint consists of layering thick and thin paint, transparent and opaque, brushes, palette knives, rags and fingers are used, anything can become a tool. Bold gestural movements are counteracted by the need to put things in order. This is a way to process ideas, memories and feelings, the resolved work captures the essence of the experience, the goal is to bring joy or intrigue to the viewer. Self-taught, Lyndy was awarded an Arts Waikato Scholarship (nominated by the Raupatu Lands Trust) in 2003. This enabled her to complete a Diploma of Art and Creativity through The Learning Connexion in Wellington. In 2025, she was a finalist in Te Whare Taonga o Waikato Museum & Gallery's National Contemporary Art award. Lyndy’s works are held in private collections in New Zealand and abroad.

Jana specialises in oil portraits. For Jana, portrait painting is a vehicle through which to visually process aspects of the “human condition.” Themes in her work include the frustrating boundaries and restrictions we contend with in daily life, and her own deep conviction of the intrinsic value of humankind. When she paints, Jana is drawn to the tension of creating an impression of someone, whilst celebrating the mediums used as the “fabric” of that impression—the paint, the brush, and the canvas or board. By revealing not only the physical materials with which the work is made but also the hand which created it, she hopes to achieve an honesty and sense of authenticity. Her painting process involves building the picture plane with brush or knife strokes, whilst leaving parts of the canvas undeveloped, emulating the effect that the progression of time has on our character. She aims to enable the viewer to trace her brush, offering them a window into the past whilst illuminating the obscurity of time. Her constructional process further alludes to how situations and moments in life might influence, build and shape us, rendering us all perpetual “works in progress”. Jana completed a BA(Fine Art) in South Africa at the University of Pretoria. Growing up, she enjoyed ample opportunity to travel with her family and, having lived on three continents, Jana developed strong cultural competency and an ability to adapt. Relocating with her husband and two boys to New Zealand in 2016 meant yet another new environment. Through this experience, Jana came to see the common denominator of our humanity—as the “crown of creation,” more fundamental than any of our differences. This understanding prompted the current direction of her work. Recently, Jana has become intrigued by different world-views and how, as guides, they direct our understanding of truth, meaning, reality, and ultimately our attempts to make sense of the world around us. She is also inspired by the relational capacity of humankind. Deciphering non-verbal cues from each other is part of our daily functioning; by using her subjects’ names or nicknames as the title of some works, Jana invites the viewer to engage with them as individuals. Jana’s work has been recognised and exhibited by art institutions such as the Pretoria Arts Association, Sasol New Signatures, and the Ekurhuleni Mnyele Fine art awards. More recently, she has been a finalist in New Zealand contemporary art awards such as the Tasman National Art Awards, where she won the ‘People’s Choice’ award twice (2019 & 2021), as well as the Supreme art award in 2022. Jana was selected as a finalist at the Adam Portraiture Awards (2020 and 2022) hosted by the NZ Portrait Gallery in Wellington, and won the Committee's Choice award at the Taranaki National Art Awards in 2020. Her fine art portrait painting is held in private collections across the country and she is available for commissions.

She has a strong affinity with the flora and fauna of Aotearoa, the beauty of our land and the wildlife that it shares. A natural dreamer, her work is influenced by emotion and intuition, and she allows that to guide her hands and speak in her prints. Kate's linocut relief prints are made by pulling designs from her pencil sketches and cutting them into lino blocks with small chisels. The work is then hand-burnished on to quality acid-free paper using light-fast inks. Due to the hand-made nature of the linocut printing process the prints have very slight variations, making each piece one of a kind.
