Riverlore Gallery . 1494 State Highway 6 . Renwick . Marlborough

Riverlore is a magic place to live and work, a place that inspires me every day.

Whichever way you look there are hills – the Richmond Ranges to the north and west, and the Wither Hills to the south. The magnificent Wairau river flows past the property and beyond the boundaries, vineyards fan out across the valley floor.

Our visitors tend to linger here, browsing the art in the gallery and studio at a leisurely pace, exploring along the riverbank, looking out for the rare black terns that sometimes appear, or indulging in lunch or a wine tasting at Wairau River Restaurant, just a short stroll away.

Riverlore Gallery and Studio is open Monday - Friday 12pm till 4pm from September to April and shorter hours in winter. We are closed at weekends except by appointment.

In the gallery you can see my paintings and the work of guest artists. Sometimes there are sculptures in the gallery garden.
In the studio you can see my works in progress, watch me working or take part in an art workshop.

I hope I will have the pleasure of personally welcoming you to Riverlore one day soon. But for those of you who can’t make it to Riverlore in person, I hope you enjoy visiting virtually, by exploring this website.

Do contact me if you have queries or I can help in any way.
