Originally hailing from Hamilton, singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Vegas Brown had an illustrious career before moving to Whitianga.
After completing a Fine Arts degree from Oxford University, I then spent 40 years teaching art – firstly as a secondary school art teacher in the UK and then as Teacher in Charge of art in NZ.
I previously shared a story of my time in Pádraig Ó Tuama’s poetry retreat, and my lesson in regaining ownership of naming myself an ‘artist’.
Earlier this year, Caitlin Moloney and I were fortunate to spend time at the Tiapapata Art Centre in Samoa for an artist residency.
I first encountered Keegan shortly after relocating to New Zealand. I’d developed a persistent penchant – one that endures – for the occasional indulgence in the decadent temptations of local bakeries.
