Grant Hocking
I have been creating oil paintings primarily inspired by the landscapes of Mimiwhangata. During the 1990s, I exhibited regularly at the ASA Gallery in Ponsonby, following the completion of my three-year Diploma of Fine Art from Deakin University, Australia. During this time, I was honoured to receive both the ASA Open Media Award and the Nola Holmwood Award for Portraiture.
