The first time I saw a Coromind magazine was when my English teacher was waving it above the class, explaining we could submit a piece of our writing to potentially have it published.
The 19th annual Coromandel Open Studios Arts Tour has wrapped up; over two weekends, the Coromandel came alive with creativity, connection and colour as artists opened their doors and welcomed visitors from near and far.
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’.
Proud to be Local — brought to you by CFM — is our inspirational feature, highlighting home-grown Coromandel Peninsula folks doing wonderful things out in the world.
