He also worked on Peter Jacksons “LOTR” and helped develop curriculum at Massey University, Bay of Plenty Polytech and Hungry Creek art school in Auckland.

What I am noticing with my current experimenting is I am remembering my childhood, the feeling of cutting and glueing and shaping, and the concentrated delight and absorption in my tasks.

Sarah is an artist who draws her inspiration from Raglan’s beauty and her connection to the ocean – deep teals, azure blues, silvery schiller and turquoise hues.

She graduated form the Norwich School of Art and Design in BA (Hons) Fine Art Sculpture, but her love for stone, shape and metals soon turned her attention to jewellery design.

Whilst enjoying a 20 year career as an artist serving the animation industry in roles diversifying from Animation Director to Lead Story Board Artist and Character Designer, AMB has committed himself to the preservation and advancement of the art of Hand Drawn Animation – also known as Traditional Animation or Classical Animation.

I am a mixed media artist and writer from Raglan Whaingaroa NZ.

I work with acrylic/oil paint, oil stix, crayons and fabric on canvas or paper, and make sculptures from building foam, cardboard, dolls, lace, beads and whatever I can get my hands on.
