Waihi Beach artist Graham Young has enjoyed a long career as an oil painter, establishing a reputation for creating realistic paintings that capture his love for the familiar yet often overlooked places that surround us in our everyday lives.
Thames Arts, Treasures and Textiles (TATAT) is a group of local artists who have come together to exhibit and sell their unique creations.
Starting on 19 October, the exhibition will be open for sales every Saturday morning, 9 am – 1 pm, in the Grahamstown Hall, in conjunction with the Saturday Thames Market.
I paint because it brings me happiness, fulfilment and allows me to share the messages I have for the world in the most authentic way possible. Also, because I don’t know how not to. When I haven’t painted for a while I feel like there’s a big storm cloud brewing behind me full of ideas, adding up and threatening to push me over.

Jocelyn Pratt’s passion lies in sculpting hardstone, where she explores and enhances the natural qualities of stone through form, polish, texture, light and shadow. Her creations celebrate the natural solidity and strength of stone, aiming to evoke a sense of tactile repose and optimism for societal change.
