Ocean journeys have fascinated Gerda Leenards, ever since she sailed with her family from the Netherlands to a new life in New Zealand in the late 1950s. Several visits to Marlborough for exhibitions and art events gave an opportunity to observe the Marlborough Sounds and the harbour of Waitohi/Picton in the soft light of the edges of the day. The works are filled with a sense of finding safe harbour, and the magic and mystery of ocean travel.
