It is so hard to choose my top artworks in Christchurch, although The Physician by Gerrit Dou is a little gem. It’s an intriguing painting full of symbolism – there is always a new story to discover as you look at it. I’ve been on the board since 2008 but have always been an avid supporter of the arts. My love affair for art probably first started as a toddler creating sand castles at Brighton Beach, making images appear with magic water painting or sticking autumn leaves on to paper to make collages!

Christchurch Art Gallery Te Puna o Waiwhetū is such an inclusive space and offers something for everyone…just like Bayleys Canterbury.  How lucky are we to have somewhere to reflect and appreciate all that is Christchurch.  

Without art, our lives would be incredibly dull.  Now more than every we need art to challenge, question and be available to everyone. Expression in our city is vital for us to grow as an inclusive community – all together one.

It’s exciting to be partnering with Christchurch Art Gallery Te Puna o Waiwhetū because at its core is people; all of whom are fun, interesting, slightly mad (!), and great to work with and learn from.

Art plays a massive role in new Christchurch. We have a number of works in Christchurch that are genuinely world-class, and so we’ve got an opportunity to pitch to the rest of NZ, and the world, that Christchurch supports the arts, creativity, and doing things amazingly – and differently. But actually better than pitching that to others, it’d be great if actually that just became part of the modus operandi of Christchurch, and art can play a big part.
