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.

Occasionally, we all feel unwell. Periodically, we might have a headache, catch a cold, or burn a fever. Sometimes, we break some bones, suffer more severe internal issues or are diagnosed with some devastating illness. When this happens, most of us will seek out a general practitioner, a specialist or a surgeon and, subsequently, receive some medication to help us recover.

For many years, the Coromandel Town area has had a reputation as a notable centre for arts and crafts in New Zealand. Talented artists are often drawn here from other areas not just for the beautiful views but also the lively art community. Every year since 2006, many of these artists have been opening up their studios on the first two weekends of October, for the Coromandel Open Studios Arts Tour.
Tawa Rikihana, also known as Derrick ‘Rick’ Rikihana, is a Māori artist from the Te Arawa iwi and the Tuhourangi-Tarawhai hapū. His Awa (ancestral river) is Te Wairoa, and his Maunga (mountain) is Tarawera. Rick’s wharenui, Hinemihi o Tarawhai, holds significant cultural importance to him and his whānau.
