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.
This is my third time writing about Creatives in Schools for Coromind. I have a personal connection to the mahi, but I’m also a fierce advocate for the arts. I believe the arts are a core necessity for people of all backgrounds, for enjoyment, entertainment and wellbeing. Which is why I stand in solidarity with arts advocates who are pushing for the reinstatement of the programme, after the Government announced in June 2024 it will cease funding.

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.
