Peter Elsbury

Peter Elsbury was born in Guernsey, raised in Jersey, and says he has been lucky enough to have lived in Aotearoa since 1979.

“I am an islander and love to be beside the sea. Rawene feels like home to me, even though I have only lived here five years. In that time I’ve realised that a daily dose of the harbour, the vista that changes with the tide, the clouds that come and go over the Warawara forest, the local residents that smile and say kia ora, have edged their way into my heart. And I love it all.”
​
These themes become visual metaphors that are evidenced in Peter’s work. He says when he looks at the Hokianga, he sees a vessel that contains water, but also a basket that holds kai, and an environment that deserves to be cherished and protected.
The many colours found in the sea and sky are reflected in the paua shell that Peter uses
extensively in his jewellery.
