Peter Cramond

(b. 1954)

The Fisherman’s Story 2007
Oil on canvas
920mm x 610mm (framed)

Peter Cramond grew up in Te Puke and spent much of his youth catching waves at Maketu and Papamoa. He works from his home studio in Papamoa. From studying graphic art at ATI in Auckland in the early 1970’s, Peter has gone onto develop his distinctive style in sculpture, drawing and painting. He has been a painter and sculptor for over 30 years and has won numerous awards. His work can be found in private collections around the world.

"I've been painting and sculpting for over three decades. I'm influenced by my environment, people around me, and things I see. Both of my mediums are figurative, with symbolic ideas, and I use colours of the Pacific.”

Decisions by abstract artist, Doreen McNeill, is a bright pop of colour!  Now 91, Doreen continues to paint with passion, gusto and skill as seen by her selection as a finalist in the 2020 Miles Art Awards. 

The underlying inspiration comes from the basic elements representing nature. Doreen builds up layers of exquisite colour to give the work depth and a vibrant sense of texture. #artcollectors #bayofplenty #nzart #contemporaryart #abstract art
La Moana (Ocean Current) 1974 by Elizabeth Kyle Grainger is one of the older works in our collection. In the 1970s, Grainger, of European descent, was inspired by Māori traditions and created paintings that referenced Māori motifs and iconography
Our members have loved hanging Peter Cramond’s figurative work ‘The Fisherman’s Story’ in their homes and it was a popular work at our 2019 exhibition.
