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.
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.
In 2019, when I was 18 years old, I moved to Auckland city to study popular music at Auckland uni. I was fresh out of high school and until then had lived with my parents and brother in Waiomu. Our house was surrounded by bush with big gardens and a stream in the backyard. It was just a short walk down the road to New Zealand.

A small house/art studio smartly positioned and built with recycled and reused materials in one of the most special places in the Coromandel region: the Blue Fridge Valley.
