Steve Tollestrup Opanuku Studio
Steve paints landscapes from his own west Auckland environment; from bush and coast to rural and open country. He’s less interested in simply recording what a place looks like, than in capturing the spirit of place and something of what it feels like to be there, so that his paintings are not static decorations, but paintings that are alive and renewing.

Te Henga Gallery
Stunning artwork from a diverse group of talented Artists with a deep connection to the West Coast and Bethells/Te Henga area. Fine art paintings in oils, acrylic and watercolour, along with sculpture, weaving, mixed media, photography, stained glass, and more.
The Evocation of Worlds - Ruth Ige
"The Evocation of Worlds" by Ruth Ige, an exhibition at Te Uru, gathers together a new body of work that extends the artist's ongoing exploration of Blackness, African diaspora, speculative imagination, and ancestral presence. Across a serious of paintings, figures emerge and dissolve through fields of indigo, violet, shadow, and light – never fully fixed, never entirely knowable.
Titirangi Painters
Titirangi Painters is a long-established group of painters active in West Auckland with members producing work mainly in acrylics in a variety of styles from hyper realistic to hard edged and colour field abstraction. Titirangi Painters' annual exhibition is a major event on the West Auckland arts calendar.
Toni Kjeld Studio
Toni has a background in textile design, and creates colourful abstract art work as a translation of everyday moments. In a time with obstacles and distractions for many, art is a great way to find calm and connection. Toni’s garden studio will have original paintings, mono prints, art prints and cards.
