Seabourne's : "Koutu Korero", an acrylic on quality canvas, primed and sealed, measuring 30 X 90 cm. Koutu from the locality on the Hokianga Harbour, Korero maori for 'talk'...



Artists statement: "…a scene witnessed one morning at Koutu Point, Hokianga harbour. Here a group of pied shags sat on the remnants of the old jetty (site of an early kauri mill), resting, sunning themselves and sharing an unspoken korero.

"High in the Treetops" by Diane is a bold, colourful acrylic on quality primed canvas measures 76 x 61 cm and features a cabbage tree with an abundance of fruit splaying over the trunk of an ancient kauri.

Artists statement: ..."if you are lucky, you may be treated to a beautiful sight such as the native kereru (wood pidgeon) contentedly feeding upon forest fruits and berries. Minding his own business, these gourmet delights take first priority".
This work is currently on display at Waiotemarama Falls Lodge, Opononi.


"Headland" by Diane... yet another of her works which depicts surreal imagery incorporating the dune headland north of the Waimamaku river mouth at KaiKai Beach. Careful reflection upon this acrylic painting 76 x 38 cms will enable the viewer to capture the yearning of this headland maiden and her companions.
'Headland' is now available as an art postcard, along with numerous other intruiging works from the Moirai Studio/Gallery.


"Towards Kawerua" acrylic on canvas approx 30 x 15 cms shows a sweeping view from the Katui hills where a steep road winds its way down towards the Tasman Sea. This work by Seabourne has now sold.

"Abstraction" an acrylic on 90 x 60 stretched canvas by Diane has a visual impact with its gold sheen reflecting with the movement of light.
