MORE THAN 12,000 

historically significant images in 

Lyttelton Museum’s collection 

have been digitised and can now 

be seen online. 

People are now able to enjoy 

what were hidden treasures, 

and if they have any 

information to add they can 

contribute it to an online 

catalogue. 

Museum president Kerry 

McCarthy said she is excited to 

make the “fabulous resource 

available.” 

“Lyttelton Museum has been 

collecting images for over 50 

years and now, with the support 

of Lottery Environment and 

Heritage and Canterbury 

Museum, we can finally share 

that treasure.”

Court of 

Appeal 

to rule 

on quake 

repair 

battle 

A SCARBOROUGH Hill 

homeowner has taken IAG to the 

Court of Appeal over whether 

he can be paid for damage from 

separate earthquakes. 

Graeme Moore owns a large 

property on Searidge Lane which 

suffered extensive damage in the 

February 22 and June 13, 2011, 

earthquakes. 

Mr Moore insured the house 

with IAG New Zealand Ltd for 

accidental loss during the period 

of November 2010 to November 

2011, when the two earthquakes 

occurred. 

The IAG policy said the maximum 

replacement cost was $2.5 

million plus GST. 

Mr Moore said repairs exceeded 

that and he was entitled to be 

paid up to that amount for each 

earthquake. 

However, a High Court decision 

rejected that last year. 

On May 7, the Court of Appeal 

heard whether a clause in the 

policy limited IAG’s liability.

Covid-19 restrictions likely to affect 

first cruise ship season for new berth 

• By Jess Gibson 

A BUSY first cruise ship season 

scheduled for Lyttelton Port 

Company’s new $67 million 

berth could fall flat due to the 

Covid-19 pandemic. 

The structure was set to open 

in November and LPC has 

taken on about 80 bookings for 

the 2020-21 cruise season. 

While there 

haven’t been 

any booking 

cancellations 

yet, whether the 

cruise ships can 

enter the country 

or not will 

Simon Munt 

depend on border 

restrictions 

set out by the Government. 

Cruise ships have been temporarily 

banned from entering 

New Zealand waters until June 

30, but borders will remain 

closed beyond that date. 

LPC marketing manager 

Simon Munt said the company 

continues to watch the situation 

as it develops and has been 

working with relevant industry 

interests and agencies to stay 

informed. 

“There are numerous 

UNCERTAINTY: Lyttelton Port Company’s cruise ship berth 

may not be able to take on passenger vessels over the 2020- 

21 cruise season due to border restrictions. 

PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN 

factors that affect the situation, 

not least of which is how 

long border restrictions remain 

in place.” 

Meanwhile, Mr Munt said 

LPC remains confident that the 

construction of the cruise berth 

will be completed by November. 

He said construction on the 

berth ceased along with all 

other capital projects at the 

port during level 4 but resumed 

safely under level 3. 

It will eventually allow 

large cruise ships to dock in 

Christchurch for the first time 

since the February 22, 2011, 

earthquake. 

Mr Munt said the berth can 

accommodate some vessels 

other than cruise ships, and 

LPC has already done planning 

around this due to the season 

being less than half the year. 

New Zealand Cruise 

Association chief executive 

Kevin O’Sullivan said many 

cruise lines have been sticking 

to their schedules due to the 

temporary cruise ship ban 

ending in June. 

However, he said “the reality 

is” that it will all depend on 

when the Government decides 

to open its borders. 

“There seems to be no end 

date put out by the Government 

as to when the border restrictions 

will lift.” 

He hopes if a transtasman 

bubble is formed between New 

Zealand and Australia, it would 

include cruise ships. 

“At the moment, there’s certainly 

nothing set in stone.” 

NZCA will be talking with 

CLIA Australasia during a 

webinar today to discuss future 

operating framework for the 

cruise industry, what it will look 

like once operations resume and 

what industry stakeholders can 

do to support the resumption of 

cruise operations. 

In Brief 

SEA SCOUT HALL SECURITY 

The gate at Lyttelton’s Sea 

Scout Hall has been secured 

to stop vehicles from doing 

burnouts around the Naval 

Point area. It comes after a 

removable bollard near the 

hall had its locking mechanism 

tampered with, and tyre marks 

were later left at the Lyttelton 

Recreation Ground and Naval 

Point public parking area. The 

city council’s community parks 

manager Al Hardy said there 

have been three complaints 

about the activity in the past 

two weeks and the gate will be 

secured until the bollard has 

been repaired. 

WIDER PATHWAY LIKELY 

Part of the Coastal Pathway 

near Moncks Bay could be 

temporarily widened to 

encourage social distancing in 

response to Covid-19. The city 

council is applying for extra 

Government funding aimed 

at helping councils around the 

country create more peoplefriendly 

spaces to assist people 

with physical distancing and 

make it safer to travel around the 

city on foot or by bicycle. Nine 

projects are being submitted, 

including the Coastal Pathway 

and the cycle route from Ferry 

Rd to the central city.

Compassion

SET BACK: Redcliffs School’s opening date has been pushed back to about the

opening of Redcliffs School 


REDCLIFFS School pupils 

would have been settling 

into a brand-new campus 

by now. 

The long-awaited opening 

of the Beachville Rd 

site was set for May 1. 

However, that date has 

been pushed back by 

about another month due 

to delays caused by the 


The school’s former 

site on Main Rd

following the 

February 22, 2011, 

earthquake and 

construction of its 

new $16 million 

campus began in 

Rose 

McInerney 

2018. 

Principal Rose 

McInerney said 

there is no exact 

revised date for when pupils 

and staff will be able to 

move in but thinks it will 

likely be about the middle 

of June. 

She said excitement remains 

high as 90 builders 

work “tremendously hard” 

to complete the finishing 

touches like landscaping, 

decking and other internal 

“bits and pieces.” 

Workers were 

broken into seven 

groups, so they 

were able to maintain 

strict alert level 

3 conditions. 

Mrs McInerney 

was thankful for 

all the support 

received from the 

Redcliffs community 

during 

“another hurdle.” 

“The amount of 

messages and kind 

thoughts has really made 

a huge difference to 

everybody.” 

Do you need a Plumber, Gasfitter, 

Drainlayer or Electrician? 

BP Redcliffs also chipped 

in to show their support by 

gifting 90 pies to the builders 

on Thursday. 

Mrs McInerney said the 

official opening celebration 

is still planned for June 

25 – and Prime Minister 

Jacinda Ardern has signalled 

she is still keen to 

attend, as has Kiwi singer 

Dave Dobbyn. 

In May last year, Ms 

Ardern said she would “do 

everything she can” to be 

at the opening after pupils 

sent her multiple letters of 

invitation. 

Said Mrs McInerney: 

“We might not be able to 

have the same number of 

people but we will certainly 

have all of the school 

kids there and hopefully 

a few of the special guests 

who have helped us 

through this journey.”

Needing financial help to achieve 

your sporting/arts/academic goal? 

The Sumner Ferrymead Foundation is a unique, community Charitable 

Trust assisting different segments of our local community. 

Sumner Ferrymead Foundation Year In Review 

Last year the Sumner Ferrymead 

Foundation (SFF) gave a grant 

towards competition travel costs to 

14 year- old surfing sensation, Ava 

Henderson of Sumner, who then 

went on to become the NZ Open 

Women’s Champion in January 

against much older competition. 

Grants were also made to other 

young people - to attend a 

ballet scholarship in London, 

an Australasian Intervarsity 

Debating Championship held 

in Bali, and participation at the 

Secondary School’s Mountain 

Bike Champs in Dunedin. 

This is just a sample of the many 

grants that SFF has made to some 

of the talented individuals and 

groups, who live, or are based 

in the Foundation’s “Catchment 

Area”, which is bordered by Taylors 

Mistake, the Tunnel Road and the 

Summit Road. 

In 1993 the SFF was founded 

as a registered Charitable 

Trust to provide financial 

assistance to those within our 

community, who subsequently 

have enjoyed the benefit of 

Sumner Ferrymead Foundation supported the new Sumner Volunteer Fire Brigade 4WD vehicle 

grants of about $100,000. The 

underlying objectives of the 

Sumner Ferrymead Foundation 

are to support and enhance the 

community - this has only been 

possible by generous donations 

and bequests. 

Specific donations may also 

be made, whereby the donor 

instructs the Foundation to 

undertake a specific community 

project on their behalf. 

Applications for grants are 

considered by the Trustees and 

must relate to: 

Education, Youth, Arts and Culture, 

Health and Welfare, Sport and 

Recreation, or the Environment. 

Some of the organisations that 

SSF have supported in recent 

years include: 

• Mt Pleasant and Sumner 

Community Centres. 

• Sumner Lifeboat Institute and 

Sumner Volunteer Fire Brigade 

• Heathcote and Mt Pleasant 

schools’ pools 

• Redcliffs Library 

Ava Henderson lifts the women’s open trophy 

at St Clair Beach, in Dunedin. 

• Sumner Theatre Group 

• Sumner Bridge Club 

• Sumner Cricket, Redcliffs Hockey, 

and Christchurch Yacht clubs. 

Community philanthropy is hugely 

rewarding and what better time is 

there, to give a “little something” to 

support your special community.

Mr Moore’s lawyer, Neil Campbell QC, 

argued his client should be paid as though 

the earthquakes were different events. 

He said each earthquake resulted in 

damage of over $2 million. 

However, IAG’s lawyer, Christine 

Meechan QC, said both earthquakes had 

one contributing catalyst – the September 

2010 earthquake. She said that was the 

underlying link, even though the February

The images are of photographs, 

paintings and drawings of the Lyttelton 

area and community dating 

from around 1860 through to the 

21st-century. 

The community and researchers 

can access items which were previously 

near invisible, like a glass 

plate negative collection. 

In 2018, the museum received 

lottery funding to support the digitisation 

project, which had twin 

goals – to create high-resolution 

preservation copies, and to enable 

the collection to be properly catalogued 

for the first time. 

People can search through the 

web-based collection catalogue 

site eHive, and they can add information 

to the online records. 

Images include historic Lyttelton 

streets and buildings, gatherings 

and parades; the two world 

war periods; harbour shipping 

and maritime events, landscapes, 

panoramas and people. 

“We’re excited to see what new 

information people can provide 

about the pictures to help us build 

our repository of harbour stories 

for the new Lyttelton Museum,” 

Dr McCarthy said. 

The museum contracted technician 

Amy Ryan to work on the 

collection, which took 14 months 

to complete.

birds with a bright 

yellow wattle and bill – the 

spur-winged plover – appeared 

on the outskirts in Invercargill. 

Arriving from Australia, 

they liked what they saw here 

and stayed. The number grew 

to five in 1934 and by 1971, 

there was a total of 827 birds 

counted around Southland. 

They bred, then spread, and 

can now be found anywhere in 

New Zealand. 

Spur-winged plover are not 

fussy about what they eat and 

are quite happy to consume 

anything from crustaceans, 

insects, leaves, molluscs and 

worms. They are quite happy 

to nest in any open area – like

BIRDS OF THE ESTUARY 

Spur-winged plover pairs 

mate for life and are normally 

quiet and shy until they start 

nesting. 

From demure, they change 

their personalities to a couple 

of incredibly loud and fiercely 

protective parents. 

One parent bird will sit on 

the eggs, while the other will 

stand nearby with a watchful 

eye, barely allowing time to 

feed themselves the entire

They will nervously look for 

anything that comes near their 

nest and will fly up in the air, 

shrieking loudly and without 

any fear at all attack hawks,

There have been many

CONTINUING EDUCATION 

Passion for Japanese 

leads to fulfilling career 

Emma Leonard’s passion for Japanese 

language stems right back to primary 

school. “My best friend was Japanese and 

she taught me a lot about the language and 

culture which really fostered my curiosity.” 

Straight from high school, Emma 

enrolled to study the Bachelor of Language 

(Japanese) at Ara Institute of Canterbury. 

She says she chose Ara because it was a far 

more intensive Japanese degree than other 

tertiary options. 

“Where most other universities just had 

general Japanese classes, Ara’s Japanese 

degree is divided into multiple classes like 

translation, interpretation, grammar and 

general culture classes.” 

Emma says this approach helped her 

improve her Japanese far more than any 

other option would have. She also liked the 

small classes at Ara. “Compared 

to the large class sizes of 30+ 

students at bigger universities, 

the small classes at Ara felt very 

much one-to-one. I really felt they 

viewed me as an individual, not 

just as another student.” 

She also says her classes were 

fun, and her tutors were ‘really 

upbeat’. “One day we’d be learning 

through a game, the next day we’d 

have a debate and the day after 

that we’d be reading long articles 

in Japanese. It wasn’t just reading 

from a book all day, it was much 

more hands-on.” 

Emma says highlights of her 

studies were an exchange to 

Tania 

Ara graduate 

Yokohama National University, and an 

internship she did in her third year. “I 

really appreciate how it gave me real-life 

experience to understand how I’d use my 

Japanese in the workplace.” 

Now having graduated, Emma is 

working as a sales representative for 

Nippon Food Supplies in Brisbane. “It’s 

quite a demanding job but it’s very 

rewarding. I drive all over Queensland and 

see some amazing places and talk to some 

really cool clients. The degree gave me a 

very strong cultural understanding which 

really helps me in my workplace because 

virtually everyone there is Japanese.”

Wine 


Something is very 

different about orange 

• By Mark Henderson 

WHILE UNLIKELY to 

be found on the shelves of 

your local supermarket, 

there is a relatively new 

category of wine beginning 

to gain traction in the 

marketplace, with visibility 

in specialist wine shops and 

winery cellar doors. 

These are ‘‘orange’’ wines, 

also known as amber, skin 

contact or skin fermented 

wines. 

I should dispel at the 

outset the myth that 

oranges are used in their 

production. These are 

wines made from white 

grapes and have an orange 

or peachy colour due to 

the methods used in their 

making. 

In a case of what’s old is 

new again, orange wines 

draw from the ancient 

wine-making style common 

to Georgia, in Eastern 

Europe, where the juice 

from the white grapes, 

skins, stalks, and pips are 

placed into clay amphoras 

called queveri, partly buried 

underground. 

The lids are sealed and 

the wine remains in contact 

with the skins and stalks for 

a period ranging from a few 

weeks to several months. 

In essence, this is 

using red wine-making 

techniques on white grapes, 

so the finished wines pick 

up colour and phenolics 

from the skins while 

deriving tannins from 

the stalks and pips. This 

leads to radically different 

textures in the wines, with 

a notably grainy, chewy 

mouth-feel and tannic 

structure making them 

particularly suited as an 

accompaniment to food. 

Wine-makers use this 

wine style as a vehicle 

for their natural wines, 

eschewing additives, 

sulphur, fining and 

filtration, which can lead 

to the finished wines being 

cloudy due to retained 

sediment. 

However, this is not de 

rigeur. Many wine-makers 

use just a little skin contact 

of a few days or a week, as 

they like the extra textural 

component this gives, but 

finish and bottle the wine 

more traditionally. 

Take a walk down a very 

different path.

Solo dad finds new 

direction and purpose 

Solo dad Tim Crawford hopes his 

experience of overcoming challenges and 

finding a new direction in life will inspire 

others to do the same. 

In 2006, while he was working as a gym 

instructor and personal trainer, Tim took 

full custody of his two children. Becoming 

a solo parent meant he had to quit his job 

and go on the domestic purposes benefit. 

Even though Tim had his hands 

full raising his kids, he never lost his 

motivation or desire to get back to work. 

In 2015 he got a job as a builder’s labourer. 

“That company saw my potential and they 

offered me an apprenticeship,” he says. “I 

grabbed it with both hands.” 

As part of his apprenticeship, and in 

order to become qualified in the trade, 

Tim studied a National Certificate 

in Carpentry at Ara Institute of 

Canterbury. 

“It was awesome, even better 

than I’d expected,” he says. “I was 

treated like I was important and 

not just a number, and the staff 

went out of their way to help me 

succeed. I was supported and 

guided all the way.” 

Tim says the classroom 

environment at Ara was 

interactive and fun with a 

touch of humour. “It was easy 

to ask questions and the course 

information was clear and concise 

with easy-to-follow book work 

and presentations. A highlight 

BAY HARBOUR 

PAGE 11 

was seeing the tiny homes being built and 

seeing the whole process of construction.” 

Tim says he didn’t do well at school but 

he made up for it at Ara. “I love to learn 

and Ara made it easy for me to do so. 

My story of getting off the benefit and at 

the same time looking after my children 

and running a household is something 

I’m really proud of. I hope it will inspire 

others who are in the same position I was, 

especially as an adult apprentice. I’m a 

better, happier person for it and some of 

my best moments in life were spent in the 

classrooms at Ara.”

Sedan boosts Toyota Corolla load space 

TOYOTA NEW Zealand is 

pulling no punches marketing its 

Corolla. 

Not only are there a handful 

of new variants within the range 

– bearing in mind the latest 

generation series landed here just 

over two years ago – but a fresh 

pricing structure makes for valuepacked 

buying across sedan, 

hatchback and wagon options. 

I recently evaluated the new 

wagon and remarked on its 

value at just below $30k; another 

newcomer is the SX sedan and it 

is the subject of this evaluation. 

It is also value at $32,990, and 

to be honest if I was a buyer I 

couldn’t choose between the two, 

I particularly like wagons and 

sedans, and both have special 

appeal, although the sedan with its 

2-litre engine against 1.8-litre for 

the wagon may just tip the balance. 

And SX grade is certainly for 

me, it translates to cloth interior 

trim, but it also has plenty of other 

goodies to keep me happy in 

the cabin such as sat nav, paddle 

shifters, and radar cruise control. 

The latter is part of the Toyota 

Sense suite of safety kit that is fitted 

throughout the Corolla range and 

it is state-of-the-art, easily earning 

a five-star Australasian New Car 

SENIOR LIVING 

Assessment Program rating. 

A totally new platform was 

developed for the latest generation 

Corolla, and it formed the basis 

for the extensive array of body 

styles that all sit on a complex fully 

independent suspension system. 

This draws me to the range, I 

like the idea of all four corners 

working in their own way and 

with the spring and damper rates 

set to a medium compromise, the 

Corolla sedan feels sporty and well 

attached to the road. 

In saying that, the SX variant 

rides on 205/55 x 16in Dunlop 

rubber, there’s nothing wrong 

with the handling and the tyres 

are very quiet, but if I was a 

buyer I think I’d opt for an 18in 

wheel which is standard on other 

Corolla models, they would offer 

a lot more presence. 

There are no surprises under 

the bonnet, well there are in some 

ways, the new sedan is available as 

a hybrid as well. 

However, the SX is solely reliant 

on petrol power, its 2-litre engine 

is now well-established into the 

Corolla hatch and sedan, and it 

is a no-nonsense unit with power 

figures of 125kW and 200Nm, the 

outputs realised at 6600rpm and 

4100rpm respectively. 

TOYOTA COROLLA SEDAN: Boot section is integrated into 

traditional body style. 

While the latter would appear 

to make the engine peaky, that’s 

not the case, the engine is happy 

to work low down, and with its 

pairing to a continuously variable 

transmission the engine finds its 

happy place through the midrange. 

Toyota has worked hard with 

the CVT system, it now works 

almost like a traditional torque 

converter automatic with physical 

gears, it is a 10-step system and 

can be locked into any pre-set step 

by sequentially using the main 

gearshift lever or paddles. 

As an aside, there’s also a sport 

mode which heightens engine 

urgency and adjusts the way the 

ratio works so that acceleration 

can be ushered in just that little 

bit quicker. Toyota claims a 9.2sec 

standstill to 100km/h time, while 

by my stopwatch a 5.9sec 80km/h 

to 120km/h overtaking time can 

be achieved. 

These figures relate to brisk 

motoring, the beauty of a 2-litre 

engine is that it’s not working 

hard, the sedan weighs in at 

around 1300kg, which means a 

healthy power-to-weight ratio. 

That also means the engine isn’t 

working hard for the majority 

of the time and that translates 

to respectable fuel usage figures. 

Toyota also claims a six-litre per 

100km combined cycle average. 

That correlates well with the fuel 

usage display within the car, it 

was constantly listing around 

7.1l/100km with 5l/100km showing 

instantaneously at 100km/h. 

Combining good performance 

and economy isn’t achieved 

easily, but given the Corolla’s long 

history that’s something Toyota 

has been able to work on over the 

years, it is wonderfully efficient, 

yet all models feel feisty and 

there’s just that element of sporty 

appeal that will lure those who 

like to push along a bit when the 

open road beckons. 

• Price – Toyota Corolla SX 

sedan, $32,990 

• Dimensions – Length, 

4630mm; width, 1780mm; 

height, 1435mm 

• Configuration – Fourcylinder, 

front-wheeldrive, 

1987cc, 125kW, 

200Nm, continuously 

variable automatic. 

• Performance – 

0-100km/h, 9.2sec 

• Fuel usage – 6l/100km 

It’s also nice to know that 

when the long straights run out 

there is a chassis underneath 

that is capable of dealing with 

the twists and turns without 

affecting the level of comfort we 

have come to expect from one 

of the automotive world’s most 

successful nameplates. 

For the record, Toyota lists 

the sedan’s boot space with a 

load capacity of 470-litres, that 

compares to 294-litres for the 

hatch and 390-litres for the 

wagon. Interesting figures which 

will certainly get those who are 

looking for load space scratching 

their heads. 

Toyota is pushing hard the 

hybrid message, however, there’s 

still a lot of life left in fossil fuelonly 

drivelines. The Corolla in 

all forms is a fuel miser and I’d 

find it a difficult choice to choose 

between any variant. However, 

the SX sedan certainly captures 

my attention for its honesty and 

all round appeal.

Vitamin C supports 

immunity 

According to Dr. Richard Z. Cheng, MD, 

PhD, (China Epidemic Medical Support Team 

Leader) in Shanghai, China, they now are having 

excellent recovery rates with severe viruses 

since the introduction of high dose vitamin-C 

therapy. In an official statement from Xi’an Jiao 

Tong University Second Hospital; “High dose 

vitamin C has achieved good results in clinical 

applications. We believe that for patients with 

severe pneumonia and critically ill patients, 

vitamin C treatment should be initiated as soon 

as possible after admission…High dose vitamin 

C can not only improve antiviral levels, but more 

importantly, supports the prevention of acute 

lung injury (ALI) and acute respiratory distress 

(ARDS).” Dr. Cheng also states “We need to 

broadcast a message worldwide very quickly: 

Vitamin C (small or large dose) does no harm to 

people and is the one of the few substances that 

has a chance to prevent us from getting and can 

treat, severe viral infections. 

Dr. Robert F. Cathcart MD, successfully treated 

over 20,000 patients with large doses of vitamin 

C. He stated; “I have not seen any flu yet that 

was not cured or markedly ameliorated by 

massive doses of vitamin C.” 

Vitamin C is an antioxidant with strong 

antiviral properties. For a healthy adult around 

1000mg two or three times daily will support 

a strong immune system. At the first sign of 

immune weakness increase the amount and 

regularity. If you take too much vitamin C it 

may have a laxative effect on you. In a healthy 

person this laxative effect may be between 

four and fifteen grams of vitamin C. If you 

have been effected by a virus your body will 

need much more vitamin C before the laxative 

effect is obvious. It could be over ten times the 

amount you can tolerate when healthy. This 

bowel tolerance is a good way to see when you 

have enough vitamin C for optimum benefits. 

Maximum relief of symptoms is obtained at a 

point just short of the amount which produces 

diarrhea, or around 80-90% of bowel tolerance. 

When you have a virus you need to satisfy the 

body’s vitamin C requirements because if the 

body becomes depleted of vitamin C you run 

the risk of the disease progressing and further 

complications. The biggest mistake is to not take 

enough. 

Vitamin C powder can easily be made into a 

drink and this is an excellent way to take it when 

higher doses are required. 

Vitamin C powder and a simple protocol 

is available from the natural health advisers

Vitamin c 

highlY Beneficial 

Vitamin C is an antioxidant with strong antiviral 

properties. Dr. Robert F. Cathcart MD, successfully 

treated over 20,000 patients with large doses of vitamin C. 

He stated; “I have not seen any flu yet that was not cured 

or markedly ameliorated by massive doses of vitamin C.” 

Dr. Enqian Mao, head of emergency medicine at Ruijin 

Hospital, Shanghai, China has used intravenous vitamin 

C with many severely ill patients. He says the patients 

improve & recover quicker with the nutritional support of 

vitamin C. 

A study published in the Journal of Manipulative & 

Physiological Therapeutics found taking vitamin C 

supplements reduces respiratory virus symptoms by 85%. 

When under viral attack our immune system requires 

much larger amounts of vitamin C. Vitamin C powder can 

easily be made into a drink & this is an easy way to take it 

in higher doses when required. Protocol available in store.

“We are currently all living in a time of unprecedented 

uncertainty and disruption. It gives us a time to slow 

down and to listen to our thoughts and reflect on what is 

happening around us. 

Our thoughts are influenced by what we listen to and 

we are then challenged by what we assume we need 

and to what is important. In every moment we now have 

room to reflect and to embrace change. It has given 

me the ability to entertain change and to open up my 

imagination. 

In these paintings I have tried to express this through 

subject, colour and movement. I have allowed myself 

to dream and to challenge my mind to new choices; to 

create images representing energy and fun, expressing 

love and dance, risk, and freedom to express. Food 

replenishes love and caring. The flower presents beauty 

and the art of giving. It is also a time to meet your 

shadows, to let your mind play, to have a conversation 

with yourself. 

Freedom of thought and expression has no boundaries 

to ones imagination. The art to create is a great 

healer for me and is a way in which I can express and 

communicate my thoughts, desires and feelings. 

“Moments in time are special - embrace them, enjoy 

them, celebrate and share them.” - Jacqui Gibbs 

Chamberlain 

While Jacqui’s subject matter is invariably the human 

form, it is secondary to her exploring form, structure, 

movement, colour and texture. 

Jacqui lives and paints on an isolated farm in 

Port Levy, Banks Peninsula with her husband and 

daughter Phoebe.
