Johanna Ward
Johanna is now living in Golden Bay – she moved from Ngaio in Wellington in April 2008. It is a different world from the brisk winds of the capital to the land and seascapes of the Bay and it shows in the fresh and colourful recent series of oil on canvas works she has produced in the last few months. (See tab of her “latest” works).
Her studio is at “the shed” in Ligar Bay, this is about 15 minutes from Takaka, past Pohara and Port Terakohe. You will find the studio just past the main beach and opposite the lagoon at Ligar Bay. Johanna welcomes visitors, either email tim_allen@xtra.co.nz or call 027 555 0355 for an appointment.
The move to Golden Bay and a return to being a full time artist have been good for Johanna’s art! – there is new energy and although the style is familiar the images are stronger and more vibrant.
So at the moment Johanna is painting and being highly productive here in Golden Bay, there are exhibitions to attend and galleries to visit, this website is a recent development and here she has been greatly assisted by Black Pete of virtualbay.co.nz who has been of real assistance. Friends in the Nelson art scene have been very encouraging and are pleased to have Johanna back in the South Island, there are continual feel good moments meeting new friends and artists in Golden Bay.
