Meet the Artist

Whangarei Heads Arts Trail

Thomas Lauterbach -For more than 30 years, I have lived and worked as an artist in the Eastern Bay of Islands. The focus of my work for most of that time became the world of the Maori people. Please visit my web site for information.
I was strongly influenced by my close friend, artist Friedensreich Hundertwasser and his principles and vision as an ecologist, philosopher, architect and artist.
During the years of my studies of fine art in Germany, I painted cows, predominantly large scale canvases. My fascination for these beautiful animals has not diminished here in New Zealand and I often portray cows as part of our New Zealand identity.
My studio is open for visits by arrangement. I have also a range of
low-priced prints of some of my paintings as well as postcards available at my studio. e-mail art@lauterbach.co.nz

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
