 Gisborne artist Sue Lloyd attended art school in the UK before immigrating to New Zealand in the seventies.
“Even though art and creativity have always played a huge part in my life, I decided in 2002 to pick up where I left off and moved to Wellington to become an art student again.” Now back home in Gisborne Sue is committed to being a full- time artist, and participates in exhibitions throughout the country
“I’m inspired by the rhythms and repeating patterns of nature, discovered when focusing on small detailed areas. I love the painting process itself; colour choice and layering and what can be suggested by the simplest of marks. What I learn from the close observation required in realism resurfaces in the creation of the slightly unreal elements in my work. I hope to keep in balance these intuitive and technical influences and to capture your gaze and arouse your curiosity.”

 Taonga Tuku iho - Family Treasures
        24 July - 3 September

Year 7 and 8 students from a number of our local schools will be exhibiting their stories and treasures at the Tairawhiti Museum.   

This project has been a wonderful opportunity for students to research family history, and in particular a family treasure. The students have researched, shared their treasures, written about them, and presented them in a class book to be shared with the communities of the Tairawhiti.

From these books certain stories and taonga have been selected to exhibit in the Museum.

We are delighted to share these Stories and Taonga with you.
