The Vega Limited Editions
September 1, 2020
Two years ago a photograph of mine won the New Zealand Geographic Photographer of the Year award. It showed three-year-old female sea lion Vega surfing a wave at St Kilda Beach. This year we've decided to give something back to Vega and her mates by supporting our friends at the New Zealand Sea Lion Trust.
So, we're selling a limited edition series of 50 prints of the winning image of Vega. The edition includes 10 large 500 x 700mm natural wood framed pieces and 40 signed and numbered 8x12" mounted prints. For each of the framed prints we'll donate $250 to the New Zealand Sea Lion Trust and we'll donate $50 from each of the 8x12" editions.
Once the edition is gone that will be it. There will be no more produced.
You can order your limited edition image of Vega right here.
Please share on your social media pages as well – every sale helps the New Zealand Sea Lion Trust continue its great work.
If your walls are already filled with art, then you could just donate directly to the New Zealand Sea Lion Trust here.
Thanks also to New Zealand-owned power company Electric Kiwi, who have come on board to support the New Zealand Sea Lion Trust.

We've moved to 8 Castle Street
July 10, 2017
The Box of Light gallery has moved to 8 Castle Street, Dunedin. That's directly across from the Dunedin Railway Station and right next to Inge Doesburg's print making studio and the Koru gift shop.
Pop in and say hello. We're here most of the time (okay, just to be sure it's still best to make an appointment by calling us first on 021 139 8188).
We have our two books for sale: Merino Country at $60 and the ever-popular Seasons at $49 each. Plus you'll find a range of framed prints, some from our Perpetuity Series and Ragged Series as well as some smaller framed prints from our Bird Series. We also have mounted prints available from $49.
If you just can't decide then we recommend a gift voucher – we have these from $20 amounts all the way up to the serious love amounts in the hundreds.
Or just come in and say hello, we always like a friendly face.
