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.
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.
