The Ultimate New Zealand Travel Guide
Once a year Mercury Bay Art Escape creates a fantastic opportunity to visit the many artists and galleries in the area from a small village north of Whitianga, Kuaotuna, south through Whitianga, Cooks Beach, Hahei, Hot Water Beach, Whenuakite to Tairua.
I made it a point to be there this year ( March 2015 - two weekends).
Now I am pretty much of a nut when it comes to seeing the work of talented artists and craftspeople. I find it one of the best ways to enjoy life and all its pleasures. Being able to meet and talk with the artists is a real wonderful experience for me and the ones in the Mercury Bay area provided me with a fabulous time getting to see their work and getting to know the artist.
Mercury Bay Escape is a registered Charitable Trust committed to its artists and the community that began in 2006.
They produce a wonderful guide each year - The Mercury Bay Art Escape - listing the participating artists, detailed maps and information about each one that can be used year round when you visit the area. Check on their website.

Ginney won the favourite Peoples Choice artwork award with her painted surfboard "First Wave" . What beautiful work by one very talented lady. The award is sponsored by Gordon Harris' "The Art & Graphic Store".
I was immediately struck by the vibrancy of Ginney's work. Her use of colours and definition are superior and demand you pay attention to their beauty as she has created it. They are emotional pieces that draw you into their very being. I am more than impressed.
One of the striking is the use of surfboards that immediately carry you away on a wave of high expectations. I hope to see much more of Ginney's work...........
Here are some of her fabulous artworks:
