Kawakawa Stone
The artist behind this creationKawakawa Stone represents the creative collaboration between internationally acclaimed carvers Madelyne Gourdin and Nick Spicer Balme. Situated along the beautiful coastline of Whanganui, New Zealand, their workshop has become a hub of artistic excellence. The duo's extraordinary sculptures and carvings have garnered them prestigious awards and are showcased in galleries and public spaces worldwide. Born in New Zealand, Nick’s love of stone came from a desire to balance life in the modern world while also feeling a deeper sense of connection to his homeland. Being from the other side of the world in France, Mady undertook art studies that led her to stone carving and restoration, before following her passion to New Zealand. Both have received local and international awards and recognition for their work.
