Canterbury artist uses Hurunui district as her studio
Whether it is being swarmed by bees, blown over in a gale, or interrupted by rain showers, Canterbury artist Janey Lovell-Smith is in her element.
Anyone familiar with the Hurunui hinterland may have spotted Lovell-Smith at her easel, standing on the side of the road in all weather to capture the region’s ever-changing lights and landscapes.
From old wooden buildings, brick churches and weathered wool sheds, to the nor’west arch over Mt Grey and the sunset at Waikari, the Amberley resident is spoiled for choice with her surroundings.

Poll: Would you take a 1.5-hour hike for a shop? 🌿🐦
Canterbury, you have a hidden treasure right on your doorstep ... though it does come with a 1.5-hour walk up the stunning Rakaia Gorge Walkway.
Along the trail you’ll find The Fantail Shop showcasing small artworks by local artisans. Even better, every purchase supports the Fantail Trust, helping protect and restore biodiversity on the north bank of the gorge.
So we’re curious: would you take a 1.5-hour hike for a shop? (And for local biodiversity, of course 🌿)
