Lake Pukaki Locals
Lake Pukaki, Mt Cook - New Zealand's tallest and most famous mountain. 2025
FINALIST Hope and Sons Art Awards 2026, Dunedin.
NB - "Lake Pukaki Locals" is also available in person at Wall to Wall Art Gallery in Nelson until 11 August.
This work was inspired by a South Island roadie. I've done it many, but this time stopped for an overnighter at Lake Pukaki, looking straight down the lake to Mount Cook in the middle of winter.
I added a gentle pair of local Paradise Ducks, going about their day. To me, the Paradise Duck symbolises togetherness and partnership. You always see them as a pair. Their gorgeous warm colors contrast perfectly with the icy blue-green of Lake Pukaki.
