New Zealand Tourism Industry Awards on the go
From the TIA website;
From hot pools to hobbits and hotels, the finalists in the 2016 New Zealand Tourism Awards are a shining example of why this industry is enjoying record growth.
The 28 finalists will compete for awards in two individual categories and eight business categories, says Chris Roberts, Chief Executive of Tourism Industry Aotearoa which runs the annual awards programme.
“New Zealand’s tourism industry is enjoying rampant growth – it’s the country’s most valuable export industry and in total generates $30 billion in annual visitor spend.
“These prestigious awards celebrate the industry’s success and recognise the individuals and businesses doing an outstanding job, generating economic wealth and supporting jobs in communities throughout the country.”
Mr Roberts says the finalists showcase the industry’s diversity.
“They come from Paihia to Queenstown, range from big corporates to small, locally-based businesses and cover the many sectors that make up this exciting industry – from ski fields to campervan rentals to a tour company specialising in Chinese independent travellers.
“We have several finalists who have been in business for decades and others who have established themselves as industry leaders in a matter of years.”
The awards will be presented on the 30th of September at the Langham in Auckland. Until then I can only show you the glass...photos will follow after the ceremony of the awards complete with etched writing.

The artists have enjoyed informal contact with visiting public over the exhibtion. Many have taken the opportunity to chat with Di and Jennie and discover more about their respective approach and process to their art-making.
Di and Jennie have enjoyed the opportunity to talk about their art out of the studio. They both love to share about what they do and what drives them.

Exhibition - The Painter and the Glassmaker
Following the success of the 2015 exhibition at David Lloyd Gallery, Jennie de Groot and I will join forces again this March to present The Painter and the Glassmaker at Soul Gallery, Hamilton.
The combination of my cast glass pieces alongside Jennie’s painterly, abstracted landscapes make a complementary pairing.
In my collection of ‘moments’, figures set upon suitcases may be travelling to new places, waiting patiently for a companion or perhaps have been left behind. The figures are universal, in that they are not bound by specific identities - their form is simplified to a representation of humanity to more directly convey broader ideas about relationships, memory and connection.
Jennie shares this idea of not giving too much away, describing her new paintings as “walking a line between suggestion and representation - there is more ambiguity than before.” Enjoying the tension between realism and expression, Jennie’s recent works are an exciting evolution in her practice.
We will post regular updates leading up to the exhibition on our facebook page.
