Graham exhibited a full collection of original paintings and prints at this year's Tauranga Art Show, including four brand new paintings, Welcome to Paeroa, On the Corner in Waihi, Mayor Island Morning, and Little Oneroa Dairy, unveiled to the public for the very first time over the weekend. It was wonderful to meet so many of you in person and share the stories behind these latest works.

A Wander through the Bay
Carlton Gallery, The Arts Junction, Katikati
18 May – 14 June 2026
As a Bay of Plenty local, Graham was pleased to exhibit a feature collection alongside three other artists in "A Wander through the Bay." His featured works celebrated the unique people, places, and everyday atmosphere that shape our region's identity.
This collection covered a wide range of scenes that we see every day but sometimes forget to truly look at. There was 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 defined our coastlines.
Alongside a selection of original oil paintings, Graham had a range of high-quality art prints and everyday merchandise available to purchase. He popped into the gallery from time to time over the course of the exhibition, catching up with many of you there for a casual chat.
