Thomas Lauterbach -For more than 30 years, I have lived and worked as an artist in the Eastern Bay of Islands. The focus of my work for most of that time became the world of the Maori people. Please visit my web site for information.
I was strongly influenced by my close friend, artist Friedensreich Hundertwasser and his principles and vision as an ecologist, philosopher, architect and artist.
During the years of my studies of fine art in Germany, I painted cows, predominantly large scale canvases. My fascination for these beautiful animals has not diminished here in New Zealand and I often portray cows as part of our New Zealand identity.
My studio is open for visits by arrangement. I have also a range of
low-priced prints of some of my paintings as well as postcards available at my studio. e-mail art@lauterbach.co.nz
