Welcome to Issue 27 of Coromind! Coromind continues to grow as a strong media platform for positive community stories, education, and the arts, and we’re excited about what’s ahead.
Hazy and the Jays is a dynamic alternative pop/rock band based in Thames, New Zealand. The group features Izzy Fitzsimons on lead vocals, Harris Elliot-Hogg on guitar, Jacob Rush on bass, and Jacob ‘Sticky’ Wenhold on drums.
Over the summer of December 2024 and January 2025, the Coromind ArtWorks Fest took place in Whitianga, marking a milestone for us as our first physical space.
I’ve been creating art for as long as I can remember.
As a child, my favourite activity was drawing. I’d carefully arrange my pens in rainbow order before each session, a reflection of my early obsession with colour.
A leap across ‘the ditch’ in 1991 catapulted New Zealander Elizabeth Kyle into an unexpected life as a highly regarded Visionary Surrealist / Mystical Symbolist artist and gallery owner in Australia. Elizabeth’s journey began in Katikati where she showed early signs of artistic flair. Her forward-thinking parents allowed her to study at Tauranga Girls’ College under the tutelage of the legendary Claudia Jarman.
