Ginney has a new large, light studio – she no longer has to
paint her large canvases on the kitchen floor! The new Hahei
studio is centrally located at Michelle Lane, just a short walk
from the village shops.
Ginney is currently working
on a series of large paintings
depicting the mysterious and
majestic Dusky Sound. Last
year she was invited to be part
of an artists’ trip to Dusky where the Department
of Conservation led the group around the tracks of
Anchor Island and other significant sites.
Ginney’s contribution will be a series a paintings
featuring the flora, fauna, history and mysterious
moods of this incredible coastline. As well as these
works, her studio is full of patterns and colour as
she experiments with a new theme and style (seen
mid-process at right) to be on display this summer. See
www.ginneydeavoll.com/Meg Auth’s turret with a view
While in Hahei, stop by jeweller Meg Auth’s
workshop, high in a castle-like turret with its
inspiring spectacular view.
See right for photos of other unique studios
surrounded with wild bush or landscaped
gardens: Alan Rhodes opening his large pottery
kiln, painter Susan Dunster’s delightful cottage
studio and the fanciful design of Ian Webster’s
pottery studio.
