Tory is a lady who loves Cats. So much so she set up a business helping take care of other people’s cats.
Tory’s Cats are ‘indoor felines’ which means if you are also an indoor cat guardian, you can have peace of mind that she totally understands the requirements of these cats, including lots of enrichment in their environment, litter trays and keeping doors closed.

Working with the wonderful volunteers at the Kāpiti Coast Biodiversity Project, Anne and the Biodiversity team devised this idea to tell people about all the incredible native wildlife hidden on the Kāpiti Coast north of Wellington.
From Pukerua Bay to the great expanses of Queen Elizabeth Park through to Whareroa Farm, the not-so-obvious wildlife needed a little promotion to assert themselves in their own environment.

Maps are an important graphic design tool for councils that need a solution to the challenge of conveying complex information to different stakeholders effectively. In everyday language, ‘they help people understand the process of building new infrastructure in a region or nationally’.
Maps can bridge the gap by providing a visual representation easily comprehensible to all. In today’s world, it is critically important to engage the public and build support for infrastructure projects.
Jane Comben (Pogo Design) has the experience and understanding to achieve what a council and the public seek.

Growing up in Breaker Bay was amazing for a child obsessed with creatures of all kinds from birds to bugs to fish so I picked up a pencil and began drawing them. Dreaming of being an artist I graduated from Wellington School of Design in 1992. After many years as an illustrator I turned my focus to being an artist. My intricately detailed wildlife art is influenced by my time as a scientific illustrator at Te Papa, and my own traditional Celtic visual culture.
An old friend of Brett Keno (Sculptor) from his school days visited his studio in Otaki during the Kapiti Coast Art Trail and asked if he would consider creating a Chinese Dragon for the Lunar New Year Festival 2024.
Brett loved the opportunity to try something new and enjoyed the challenge of discovering his first Dragon hidden in a block of limestone. The colour of the limestone ended up a little golden which was perfect.
