Lois and Boatshed Gallery...
Boatshed Gallery is a small private gallery created by Lois Simpson in her garden at Anzac Bay near Ostend. The gallery is named for its boatshed style and sits amongst ten corrugated iron boatshed facades that Lois has created to link the garden with the boats in the bay below.
The gallery and boatshed facades form a distinctive feature in the sleepy Anzac Bay and bring a smile to almost all those who wander the bay.
Lois’s art within the gallery continues the natural theme with several works formed using driftwood collected from the bay shores. Several works feature natural flora and fauna including; pohutukawa, flax (harakeke), nikau palms, cabbage trees (ti kouka), kereru, tui, baches and bay scenes. Lois has a particular passion for maps of all descriptions and many find there way to the backgrounds of her works with numerous pieces also integrating a three dimensional aspect.
Lois’s style has evolved from a childhood spent “making things” in her dad’s big shed in the rural area of Halcombe, New Zealand, through to time spent painting, drawing and learning the technique of making and restoring frescos in Florence Italy, to more recently concentrating on painting scenes within the much loved Waiheke Island.
Lois invites you to take a trip to Anzac Bay so that she can welcome you to Boatshed Gallery.
