Step into the quiet glow of Aotearoa’s South Island, where light moves slowly and the landscape breathes in vivid hues from the glow of twilight, to the cool blue of snowcapped mountains. 

The Wānaka Collection brings together my most intimate moments from my trip there in May 2024. Sunrises from Roys Peak, the stillness of That Wānaka Tree, and the soft, fleeting warmth that settles over the lake at day’s edge.

The series conveys solitude, atmosphere, and the natural wonders of Wānaka. These scenes are captured in the rare minutes when the world falls silent and light reveals its finest subtleties. Every print is self-crafted with museum-grade materials.

This exhibition is an invitation to linger, to explore the tenderness of dawn, the poetry of shadow and glow, and the timeless calm of Wānaka’s alpine beauty.
