Earthsea Gallery

Fisherman Island, off Astrolabe Roadstead in Abel Tasman National Park is a landmark familiar to boaties, kayakers and the many hundreds of people who visit the park every day. These ‘granite sculptures’ which feature often along the Abel Tasman coastline, were once part of a granite ridge that has been eroded over time by waves and wind. These islands are formed from harder granite that has resisted the power of the sea. I enjoy painting these coastal seascapes with their almost tropical colours.
