Rachel Olsen – Featured Artist, Coromind Issue 8

August 18, 2023 No Comments

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.

Who are you? Why are you …? Ahhh, I don’t even know what to say. I’m sitting here behind my screen feeling blocked, unable to write the words I desire, so stuck in my head.

Why can’t I do this? Is it because I forgot to eat breakfast? Maybe it’s my sore back? 

Most likely, it’s the guilt from the unrest I directed at my wife 10 minutes ago that was entirely a product of my stress and nothing to do with her.

Making It 16

March 14, 2023 No Comments

I used to have a strange kind of superiority complex when it came to voting. The first time I voted in a general election, I took the time to teach myself how voting worked, what I was going to be voting on, and what I wanted to vote. I judged other 18-year-olds so harshly for not voting, and I wouldn’t listen to any excuse. While I still think that in a perfect world everyone would use their vote, I now understand that not every 18-year-old has the time and energy to do so.
