Glenn Jones Art - Online Art Store
From our studio in Auckland, New Zealand, we create art that has a sense of humour, a hint of nostalgia and always proudly celebrates what it is to be a Kiwi. The medium might change but we always have the same aim: to make people smile. Glenn Jones Art is a family business: Glenn creates the artwork, Julia takes care of the business, and our three kids provide lots of inspiration and the odd distraction. We love nothing more than getting emails from customers telling us what our art means to them – we hope you find a piece of our art you fall in love with, too!

Maria Eves Photography
I am a fine art landscape photographer, focusing on bright and beautiful New Zealand landscapes. I love creating large and oversized artwork to dominate the wall, and the space that it hangs in. After working as an Air Force Photographer for 12 years, I am transitioning into my own business to have more time for my two little boys, and to explore nature with my camera. My limited edition wall art is available directly from my website. I use only high quality, professional photographic printers and framers for my all my work. I also offer free shipping worldwide. Check out the art for sale on my website, and subscribe to my Collectors Club to keep up to date with my latest work and upcoming exhibitions. I have a large range of limited edition prints for sale, and exhibit my work frequently in an online art exhibition, where you can view my latest collections. The virtual art exhibition is a great way to view my work with the current covid restrictions, or if you live across the globe. I have been crazy about the sea since I was a kid and would gladly spend my days exploring the underwater landscape. This is why I am so passionate about ocean conservation. One of my goals with my artwork is to educate and inspire change so that our oceans can be restored to their former glory. 5% of all my profits are donated to Live Ocean. Check out my blog to get to know me, learn tips and tricks for choosing and hanging your artwork, viewing art for mindfulness and more. If you would like me to photograph a specific place, please contact me and I will be happy to discuss your commission requests. At the end of the day, I produce my artwork because I love it. I love exploring, being in nature, challenging myself and preserving the visual treats brought to us by nature. I hope that my art will brighten your day, just like it brightens mine when I'm creating it. I am currently based in Auckland, New Zealand which is where most of my photos are created at the moment.

Our purpose is to grow a rich ecology of Pacific creative arts practice and provide leadership, support and unique opportunities for the Tagata Moana arts community. Tautai was formed in the 1980s when leading Samoan artist Fatu Feu’u and his peers came together with a shared aspiration to support and promote Pacific visual artists, at a time when Pacific art was in the very early stages of recognition as a particular genre. Fatu formalised Tautai as a charitable trust in 1995 and continues to provide support and mentorship to Tautai and those we work with. In 2001 he was awarded a New Zealand Order of Merit for his services to the arts. Tautai is supported by an amazing network of partners and funders.

I paint and illustrate. A lot of my work centers around water, the coast and the sheer endless beaches of New Zealand. My work is well-balanced and a personal interpretation of what I see around me. That is probably the most fascinating about painting, one can create ones own world; omit things, add others. Like writing a story, really. Only that I stage the plot with my inner eye! If you want to, browse through my on-line portfolio: Hope to hear from you soon! Karin
