HEATHER SHERMAN-EXHIBITION: 'NATURE UNFOLDED

I am an artist living in Kawhia and have been fortunate to live in an environment where nature is experienced on a daily basis. Kawhia Harbour and surrounds is rich not only in archeology, history and culture but also in direct contact with migrating birds, orca, sea & sky changes, and a changing light that provokes the senses.
I have always had a love for nature and in particular this part of the west coast so to use this as a catalyst for my paintings makes sense to me. I have walked, tramped, sailed, kayaked and swum in this area for many years and it never fails to reward me. I have seen this environment at all times of the day (and night) and in all climates – hence my desire to draw on this knowledge in my painting. It is what I know best.
