I’ve just returned from two wonderful weeks in springtime New Zealand. Highlights included many gallery viewings and art openings in Wellington, W(h)anganui, and Auckland; private studio visits with very creative and giving artists (inspirational—thanks!); walks along beaches (black sand!); treasure-hunting in numerous Op Shops; and meeting several old (and many new) friends. Admittedly, it’s a bit weird going from spring back to winter over the course of a single day… see more photos on Rob’s blog here, here, and here.

Images: “Pushing the art” on Wellington’s waterfront; the view from Te Papa; the amazing black sands of the Tasman Sea.
