Watercolours and more at Vintage Village Gallery

Small works, big charm: exhibiting at Vintage Village Gallery, Raumati (15 Dec 2025 – 2 Feb 2026)

If you’re spending time on the Kāpiti Coast this summer, do check out the Vintage Village Gallery in Raumati. I'm participating in a group show, exhibiting pieces that are all about tiny details, whimsy, and watercolours.

I’m delighted to be exhibiting a selection of small original works and hand-embellished pieces, shown alongside the excellent coffee and relaxed atmosphere that the Vintage Village Cafe is known for.

What’s on the wall

This exhibition brings together a mix of:

• Tiny whimsical original watercolours
• Hand-embellished prints with added texture and detail
• Botanical watercolour prints and originals
• Photo-artistic works, hand-embellished with impasto gels and more

Some works are mounted on board, others are presented in upcycled and recycled frames.

All are small enough to tuck into a special spot, gift to a nature-lover, or take home without a measuring tape and a deep breath.

About the venue

Vintage Village Gallery is part café, part gallery — a lovely spot to linger with a coffee while browsing original art. It’s a space that suits small, characterful works, and I always enjoy seeing how people discover pieces while they’re there for entirely different reasons (coffee first, art second… or sometimes the other way around).

Perfect summer (and Christmas) pieces

With many works priced accessibly and ready to hang, this exhibition is especially suited to:

• Christmas gifts with a personal touch
• Small spaces and holiday homes
• Nature-lovers who appreciate detail and storytelling

If you’ve been curious about my watercolours, embellished prints, or smaller originals, this is a great chance to see them in person.

Visiting the coast?

If you’re local — or just passing through Raumati this summer — do pop in. Grab a coffee, have a wander, and see what catches your eye.

And if you spot a piece and want to know more about it, I’m always happy to answer questions.
