Meet the Artists

Expressions of Interest runs from 15 August 2026 to 27 August 2026, open daily 10:00 – 15:00. The showcase highlights the distinctive practices of two established New Zealand artists. Dell Pryor, with over three decades of experience as a figurative sculptor, presents ceramic and bronze wildlife works inspired by endangered species and conservation themes. Her pieces are held in private collections both here and overseas, including a recent bronze memorial at Tutukaka Marina.

Greg Gibb, who began painting fourteen years ago, shares evocative landscapes painted from memory. His approach captures light and essence rather than strict replication, evolving from hyper-realistic subjects to atmospheric scenes. Both artists reflect on the personal journeys behind their current pieces, inviting viewers to connect with the enduring links between people and the natural world.
