So earlier in the week…this happened! Leatherback turtles! And not just one, but I saw two behemoths on this day. Following the jellyfish in, these big units are a regular visitor to our region and are one of five turtles that NZ sees. Length: 6ft weight: 900kgs.

I realised recently that I have neglected some of my wildlife posts that I know people used to love SO I will be adding some images and videos over recent years (can't believe its been that long!) to continue to showcase our incredible wildlife.
Things will mostly be a bit different these days though with footage shot from shore or from a small boat. Im going to start with one of my favourites...and a favourite to many out there!
The Octopus.

Now… I am willing to bet that you’ve never seen anything like this before. This unique hei matau (hook) is something that I’m incredibly proud of in both design and gallery finish. It was a true pleasure to put my files to work to create this. Many of you know me and you also know that my way in life has been to always try to stand out and do something that is slightly different to the ‘norm’. This is an attitude I have taken with me in both carving and kayaking and I feel very fortunate in life to have been intoduced to both. Although design and learning is always on-going, this current piece is where the path has led me to now, and I feel comfortable in my artistic journey right now. Thank you. If you want to stand out then perhaps this piece is for you!Medium: synthetic stone (hand carved)Style: hei matau Price: $595nz plus postage. ($355US)

I just wanted to take a minute to thank everyone for their support of my art. It really is truly appreciated and I’m grateful for the love.
Kia Ora!!
