A celebration of the land where mountain and sky meet, In Taranaki captures the majestic presence of Mount Taranaki rising over rolling farmland. The scene is alive with the changing colours of the seasons — golden fields, autumn foliage, and a vivid landscape that speaks of both strength and serenity.
In the foreground, a kererū (New Zealand wood pigeon) takes flight, symbolising renewal and connection to the natural world. The painting’s flowing lines and stylised forms bring a sense of rhythm and harmony, reflecting the deep balance between the mountain, its people, and the land.
This work embodies the beauty and spirit of Aotearoa’s Taranaki region — timeless, grounded, and full of quiet vitality.
