An acrylic painting of Pohaturoa, an ancient volcanic dome.

I stand before you by Santie Cronje, acrylic, 1,000mm x 760mm (sold).

“I see this beautiful dome every time I drive to our gallery in Taupō,” Santie says. “Pohaturoa is an ancient volcanic dome that holds a unique part of New Zealand’s pre-colonial past.”

This artwork features in our Kōanga Spring 2023 Edition.
