What do you think should be done about "ghost houses"?

Brittany Keogh Reporter from Rodney Times

Experts say the trend is likely due to a lack of affordable housing and is causing … View moreHi neighbours, Despite Auckland already being short an estimated 40,000 homes to adequately house its population, the number of empty homes in the region has risen by 18 per cent in five years to nearly 40,000.

An exhibition of paintings - Estuary Arts Orewa

24 September to 20 October 2019
​Opening function Saturday 28 September 3pm to 5pm
Born in England, David now lives on the North Shore. Trained as an astrophysicist at London and Leicester Universities, David has worked as a physics teacher for many years in the Middle East, Australia, the UK and New Zealand.
He began painting seriously in acrylics several years ago and has exhibited in galleries in Scotland and New Zealand. David's paintings are inspired by his interests in science and his work stretches from realism, through whimsical to surreal reflection. His work often suggests a story behind the image on the canvas, and his landscapes are inspired by the imaginary extensions of the real world.

David has exhibited in Scotland at the Seagull Gallery, Castle gallery and 18-East Gallery, and in Auckland at Lakehouse and Northart gallaries as well as Estuary Arts Centre.

"Boats and Birds" Sculpture by Michael Irwin
24 September to 20 October 2019
Michael has always had a love of boats and birds from his earliest memories. He loves the form and shape of both and how they can dip and soar through their respective environments. He has spent many hours from an early age tramping, climbing, sailing and swimming where he learnt to love and enjoy the unique coastal and mountain environments. Nothing is more enjoyable than cutting through the sea, with all sails set, with the birds soaring in the wind; or sitting on a mountain peak or surrounded by huge trees of our bush. Both the bush and the sea have been places of adventure and quietness that have inspired his sculpture. The stone used in the sculptures are Taranaki andesite (hard and grey) and Oamaru stone (white).
Michael has been a teacher and educator of art for over 50 years. He has organised whole school art events and assisted children and teachers to create their own special art works. He specialised in art at Hamilton Teachers’ College where he first began sculpturing.

The last 20 years of his employment was as a Senior Lecturer at Massey University, where he was a programme coordinator for teacher training and lectured in the Arts and how to teach and develop Creativity with children. He is a member of the Te Kupenga Stone Sculpture Society in New Plymouth, where he regular travels to carve stone. He has taught night classes in pottery and painting, and is a tutor at Estuary Arts Centre.
