Lorraine Polglase

Trevor and Lorraine Polglase, full-time artists, reside on a captivating four-acre beachside property in Golden Bay. Their lifelong passion for art finds expression in beautifully crafted marble sculptures, a medium that holds a timeless allure.

The enchanting surroundings of Golden Bay, nestled between Kahurangi and Abel Tasman national parks, imbue their work with a magical charm. The area's natural wonders—rivers, hills, trees, beaches, and a gentle climate—immerse the Polglases in a creative oasis. Moreover, the allure of Takaka Hills marble, known for its exceptional quality, adds an extra layer of appeal to its artistry.

Hewing the rough stone into shape, the Polglases let the marble's inherent beauty speak for itself. The marble comes in an array of colours; black, grey, green, and white—providing a diverse palette for their creations. Lorraine's artistic inspiration draws directly from nature, with a particular fondness for birds. She shapes delicate yet captivating bird sculptures, utilizing various stones she finds, enhancing the luminosity of her work.

The Polglases' art resonates with a gentle and tactile quality, effortlessly complementing both outdoor and indoor settings. As they continue to draw inspiration from their awe-inspiring environment, their creations embody the timeless beauty of marble, celebrating nature's wonders in every sculpture they meticulously craft.
