NEW ARTIST ALERT 1
Annie Smits Sandano
Our final new artist for 2020 - and we know you are going to love her work. Annie’s woodcut prints are a labour of love from start to finish, made using hand carved wooden plates and hand printed using a printing press manually turned & are even more wonderful in real life.

Dominique Marriott
We adore the energy of Dominique’s work & the beauty and movement of her strong mark making & we are sure you will too.
“We’ve visited Turua Gallery several times & it’s now a regular habit. Such a gorgeous, light filled contemporary gallery. The art is always changing so there’s something new to see each time. The owners are friendly & down to earth, making the solo exhibition openings (we’ve been to two) relaxed & informal. There’s also a framer in there who creates fantastic bespoke frames. Love it!!.”

“The friendly owners of Turua Gallery, Dean & Melissa Wallace are a committed team to bringing local artists to the forefront of the New Zealand Art Industry.
As a client of Dean & Melissa's, I have been fortunate to purchase several pieces from Turua Gallery. Dean’s eye for detail & Melissa’s talent for form & space make an exceptional team for any buyer who is looking for a special piece for their home. The determination as a couple to find that perfect “talking piece” is an understated quality in any art dealer. I have had an exceptional experience that goes beyond willingness & patience to bring art works for private viewings to my home. Dean and Melissa’s outstanding honesty in all aspects of looking to buy art & the details of it working just right in my home gives me immense confidence in purchasing from Turua Gallery.”
