Michael Smither – "Horseshoe Bay – Tutukaka Coast"
Limited Edition Signed Art Print
Print run of 400 – All proceeds support the Hundertwasser Art Centre with Wairau Maori Art Gallery

This captivating artwork by Michael Smither CNZM, one of New Zealand’s most acclaimed artists, brings to life the lush, secluded beauty of Horseshoe Bay, located just south of Matapouri Bay on the Tutukaka Coast. First painted in 1985 during a trip to Northland, the original oil painting is believed to have gone offshore—making this signed print a rare and meaningful connection to the original.

Smither’s mastery of texture, form, and vibrant colour is evident in this reproduction, which captures the vitality and richness of New Zealand’s northern coastline. Horseshoe Bay, being privately owned and largely inaccessible, remains a hidden gem—its essence preserved here by an artist deeply attuned to Aotearoa’s natural beauty.

Each print is hand-signed and dated by Michael Smither himself, offering collectors and art lovers a personal connection to the artist and his legacy.
