Collection: Nicholas Hayter

Nicholas Hayter captures the quiet strength and familiar beauty of Aotearoa in sweeping, expressive strokes. From sunlit hay bales rolling across golden fields to moody skies over the harbour, his work invites the viewer into scenes that feel both timeless and close to home.

Often painting local landmarks — Te Mata Peak, Napier's harbour, or coastal inlets where yachts rest gently on still waters — Nicholas brings a grounded presence to each canvas. There’s a looseness in his brushwork, often guided by palette knife, that leaves space for the viewer to feel rather than define.

His paintings are not about perfection, but about connection — to place, to light, to memory. Whether it's the hush of a beach at dusk or the glow of summer farmland, each piece offers a moment of calm reflection.
