Exhibitions & Events
Welcome to the studio news and events calendar. This page is updated regularly with upcoming exhibitions, art shows, and locations where you can view Graham’s work in person throughout the year.
Featured work: Summer Dreams (Oil on stretched canvas)
Current Exhibition
A Wander through the Bay
Carlton Gallery, The Arts Junction, Katikati
18 May – 14 June 2026
As a Bay of Plenty local, Graham is pleased to be exhibiting a feature collection alongside three other artists in "A Wander through the Bay." His featured works celebrate the unique people, places, and everyday atmosphere that shape our region’s identity.
This collection covers a wide range of scenes that we see every day but sometimes forget to truly look at. There is a deep sense of nostalgia in these pieces—from the familiar storefront of a local dairy and the intense energy of surf boat races, to the quiet, shifting tides of our harbours and the distinct Pacific light that defines our coastlines.
Alongside a selection of original oil paintings, Graham will have a range of high-quality art prints and everyday merchandise available to purchase. He will be popping into the gallery from time to time over the coming weeks, so we hope to catch some of you there for a casual chat.

- Monday to Friday: 9:00 am – 3:00 pm
- Saturday & Sunday: 10:00 am – 2:00 pm
- Public Holidays: 10:00 am – 2:00 pm
