Settling on the Coromandel Peninsula over 30 years ago, I’ve found much to spark creative inspiration in our beautiful environment. The land and seascapes, beaches, bush-clad hills, ever-changing light and striking coastline often feature in my work. Dinghies, caravans and old baches under ancient pōhutukawa have become central characters in many of my paintings, evoking a warm sense of nostalgia and playful wonder.
James Cook explored the Firth and the Waihou River in November 1769, noticing the extensive settlement and visiting a riverbank pā. Remembering the River Thames in England, Cook gave our river the same name. (In 1947 the name changed to Waihou, with only the Firth keeping the Thames name.)
Functional spatial design is vital to providing a built environment that is fit for purpose. How owners of homes function as family units, where they like to congregate, and how much ‘stuff’ they need to store are all important facets of optimal spatial design. In addition to this, incorporating considered passive solar design features into well circulated areas is critical to the liveability and comfort of a home.
I’m Kyla Wilson, a 17 year old girl from the Thames-Coromandel Coast. My interests are the outdoors and participating in different sports. My passion, however, lies with netball. Since I turned eight, I have been playing netball every year. My love for the game comes from many things: finding some of my best friends, staying fit, and the thrill of competition. During the last two seasons of high school netball, I have also been fortunate enough to be able to compete alongside my sister Nia as a defending duo.
