Timaru is not just about its stunning landscapes and beaches; it is also home to incredible wildlife. In the evenings, you can enjoy the sight of blue penguins returning to shore, while hundreds of gulls adorn the beach. Occasionally, even a leopard seal makes a special visit. I celebrate these cherished encounters in my silk art.

A Warm Welcome from Timaru

For cruise passengers, Timaru offers a truly memorable experience. Your first encounter often begins at the information centre, featuring a distinctive statue that has inspired one of our paintings. Beyond that, the historical buildings and the iconic stairs leading to the beach and port offer a unique perspective of Timaru's welcoming spirit. I strive to capture this warmth and beauty in every piece.
