Doug Anderson
Doug Anderson uses natural recycled and salvaged materials in his work, especially old logs and timber. He prefers native timber as it is durable yet it slowly changes over time due to the effects of sun and rain. He also likes to incorporate natural stone and recycled steel into his works. Doug began sculpting after inheriting several chisels around fifteen years ago, which he tested out on an old fencepost. His sculptural ideas have been influenced by his travels, and he is especially drawn to the sculptural forms of Bali and design elements from Japan.

Ema Scott & Stephen Wheeler
Ema Scott and Stephen Wheeler opened their studio ‘Stonepeace’, otherwise known as ‘Kohatu Humarie’ in 1999. Their studio is at a very special (ukaipo) enclave of family land in Haumoana, Hawke’s Bay. It sits close to the Tuki Tuki River and Haumoana Beach on the Pacific Ocean. They produce honed down elegant stone forms sensitive to balance and flow – inviting to touch. Ema and Stephen describe sculpting stone as, “physically demanding, intellectually challenging, spiritually connecting; bringing much peace.” They call this work Kohatu humarie (Stonepeace).

Martin Selman
The work of Martin Selman engages the language of stone carving with specific focus to Carrara marble. His commitment to the medium has involved extensive work, research and travel in New Zealand, Italy, England and Switzerland. Selman works with notions of shaping a dynamic fluidity, transforming a hard and unresponsive material into an object of softness, seduction and lightness. His choice of material and imagery are bound by their relations to the classical lexicon.

Louise Stobart presents stone artists from Zimbabwe
Louise Stobart and her husband Bruce own and run the popular Birdwoods Gallery in Havelock North. Louise established Birdwoods Metal Sculpture in 1991 in Zimbabwe, and ran it alongside their extensive farming operation.

The gallery sells metal and stone sculpture, ceramics, jewellery and decorative arts from artists throughout Africa and New Zealand.

Linda Trubridge
Linda Trubridge maintains a creative art practice as well as teaching Art and Yoga. She has completed two public sculpture commissions which evoke the spiritual significance of bird and wing forms as relevant symbols for our communities.

Steuart Welch
Steuart Welch is a dairy farmer turned artist, using welder, angle grinder and steel. His early work was often two dimensional pictorial using weathered or second-hand material. Moving to a more three dimensional style “from the head” has resulted in a shift to new steel (and an improvement in welding technique). The recent sculptures which may be loops, cubes, jigsaws or machinery parts are designed for the great outdoors. Steuart claims no social comment in his work; just a desire to create.
