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.
Coromind is experiencing tremendous growth in its short history. With two successful issues released, this March edition promises to be just as impressive.
The magazine’s success is a testament to our community’s talent and dedication. The people of Coromandel have come together to share their thoughts, artwork, and ideas, resulting in a publication that reflects the unique character of the region.
Like it or not, we are all affected to some extent by our feelings: joy, sadness, anger and fear are a part of all our lives. The question is, how do we react when we feel them? We can be overwhelmed by them, ignore them, wish they’d go away or bottle them up.
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.
