We are delighted to feature in our garden arts gallery, the work of top New Zealand artists, whose artwork and sculpture is suitable for the garden and outdoors. Barbara Hockenhull is the senior member of the Hockenhull family who have established a strong reputation in New Zealand as potters of distinction and quality. Other members of the family are Scott and Aaron Hockenhull and Gabriella McMillan. Their specialty items are wall hangings and ikebana containers. Morris and James are leading New Zealand potters whose work is found in homes world wide. Their products are traditionally crafted from clay sourced from the Matakana River sited in the beautiful Mahurangi region. Their work is famous for the quality of its rich, vibrantly coloured, glazes. Diana Poor has been a ceramic artist for 30 years and in that time has established herself as a consistent producer of high quality work, from her decorative tile range, distinctive black and brown dinnerware or her highly personal sculptural work for interior or garden setting. Her work is also shown in major New Zealand Galleries and in personal collections overseas. Paddy Bourke is a self taught artist who draws on classical art forms such as Michelango to seek perfection in human forms. His motivation for doing this work comes from an inner energy that wells up while creating and perfecting his work. His work is to be found in homes world wide. Nick Cabot is a talented artist who works from his home situated beside the sea and the lagoon in rural Hawke's Bay. His environment abounds with sea and bird life which has no doubt influenced his current specialty, this being bird sculptures individually handcrafted from previously used copper. The constantly changing character of the copper he uses means the visual look of each art piece changes accordingly. The birds are very attractively displayed as garden sculptures. In order to ensure stability the body of the bird is made from galvanised steel and the legs are filled with lead.
