Alan Wehipeihana Studio & Gallery

Alan Wehipeihana Studio & Gallery Fulltime artist since 1992. working from studio 1b Beach Road, Paekakriki. Open to the public on weekends or by appointment.

I have had no formal training in the arts but through a series of accidental discoveries and fortuitous meetings with talented individuals I find myself making a living as a full time artist. My mother gave me a passion for writing and I filled diaries and hard drives with poems and short stories a few of which have been published. After leaving college, I tried university then took a job with a l

andscaping firm. A friend introduced me to lead lighting in the eighties and I began experimenting with making leaded glass panels for doors and windows. In 1990 I discovered stone and spent the next two years in Daryl Gray’s art studio trying to imitate his style of carving

In 1992 when I was 42 an auspicious time if you believe in the yogic concept that our lives are structured in 7-year cycles I took the vow of poverty and became a full time artist. My work now includes wood, metal, canvas, old books and other found objects.
