Three new oar prints have been produced from Leanne’s last show at Black Barn Gallery.

These limited edition, life size reproductions are printed on beautiful photo rag paper.

“These are a few of my favorite oars from my show at Black Barn.

The first one is called ‘Treasure’ and the most prominent image is the White Heron (Kotuku) that is sacred to Maori.

The second oar is called ‘The Heat Is On’. I painted this oar out at the beach in Haumoana and it was extremely hot at the time. I was thinking about Global Warming . We know it is real but try to keep a positive outlook. We don’t do anything because we feel powerless to stop it or maybe we just live in hope. ‘The Heat Is On’ is about running out of time.

The last oar is called ‘Gay Thrush’. It is simply a true story of a gay man and his friendship with a bird. Graham, who has a spectacularly beautiful and humorous garden, has made friends with the Thrush who now eats with him, follows him about the garden and was very happy to pose for me.”
