Your private viewing A first look for my Art Lovers, before Good Hope opens to everyone on Saturday afternoon.
Some moments are so beautiful you can't move.
This was one of them - an afternoon on Ruakākā Beach, looking across the water to the Whangārei Heads.
This is Good Hope.

The land. The sea. The sky. That long golden stretch of beach. Each one beautiful on its own - but together? Something else entirely. The whole so much greater than its parts.
And out on the water, a little yacht heading home. That's Good Hope - my Dad's boat. I've sailed those waters so many times, and standing there I imagined us cruising back in after another adventure up the coast.
When I painted it, I wanted it all woven together - the sea flowing up into the land, the land lifting into the sky, the water curling up to the beach. I used the koru to carry one thing into the next. Holding it all as one whole, beautiful moment.
And that's what I hope it gives you. Hang it where you'll see it often, and let it lift your heart the way that afternoon lifted mine. If this coast holds a memory for you - a summer, a boat, someone you love - my hope is it brings that feeling back for years.
There's only ever one Good Hope. This is the original - signed, one of a kind, and once it's found its home, it's gone.
