About Tricia and her Exhibitions
Kereru - NZ Wood Pigeon
I love drawing.
It was later in life I came to art having being told in high school “not to bother as you have no talent”. Always creative, I put the pencils away and crafted until realising that drawing was what I most wanted. Community taught, I have gathered knowledge from many and spent hours practicing. Now I share my art with you.
I work in my studio on Hinewai Reserve. Hinewai Reserve is a 1500 hectare nature reserve on the door step of Akaroa. Find out more about Hinewai Reserve here: www.hinewai.org and follow our progress here: https://www.facebook.com/hinewai.org.nz/
My inspiration comes from my closest neighbours – the wildlife (birds and critters) thriving on Hinewai, and from my experience throughout New Zealand on other environmental and nature related trips and volunteer programmes.
