View fine art by contemporary French/New Zealand artist Guity Evelyn. Her unique home/studio has stunning views overlooking Wharekawa Harbour, unspoilt Opoutere Beach and the Wildlife Sanctuary.Guity's unique paintings and distinctive style exude a blend of The Coromandel with hints of Provence. These reflections of where the Pacific meets the Mediterranean express a character all of their own. Add to this a boldness of colour and Guity's affinity for both the figurative and abstract and you have a complete palate, which has made her works sought by International and Australasian collectors. **Well Signposted** Topadahil Art Studios is only 3km off Pacific Coast Highway SH25. **Only 10min From Whangamata - 25 min from Pauanui - 1 hour from Whitianga - and 2 hours from Auckland or Rotorua. - Check us out on Destination Coromandel's video - https://youtu.be/k80Rx7fmhEg

I visited Guity while on holiday at Whangamata. Not only does the studio enjoy the best views around, but Guity is a fabulous artist. I stayed there for hours discussing many topics of mutual interest and came away with some truly unique artwork which grace the walls of my house and which I will always treasure.

We had a lovely time at the gallery. My mum has visited previously and insisted I go back with her. Jenny was really friendly and welcoming. The gallery was a feast for the eyes and we spent well over an hour looking at everything. I could have happily bought many of the pieces. Would certainly recommend visiting if you're interested in any form of art and New Zealand culture.
