The New Zealand shore plover “Thinornis novaeseelandiae” is one of the rarest plover species in the world. It is a Nationally Critical ranked species (the highest possible threat status) and is a small, colourful shorebird that was once widespread in the coastal areas of New Zealand, but by the late 1800s had become confined to a small population on the Chatham Islands. The current world population, including birds in captivity, is estimated at less than 250.

This year’s appeal, exhibition and auction which will be held by the New Zealand Society in association with the New Zealand Department of Conservation (DOC). The Appeal this year will raise funds for the New Zealand Shore Plover, and will be use to continue the five year reintroduction programme on Mana Island and to upgrade the captive breeding aviaries at Pukaha Mount Bruce National Wildlife Centre.

Suze in Mayfair, London has agreed to exhibit all the donated works of art in it’s gallery from Monday 1 September until Thursday 9 October. Then on Friday 10 October the pieces will be sold at an auction and gourmet food evening to be held in the Penthouse in New Zealand House.They are expecting there to be attendance from some very high profile New Zealanders in London, as well as great interest from the UK conservation and bird conservation interest groups.

In advance of the Auction they also plan to hold an “invitation only” preview evening at Suze with Derek Leask (New Zealand High Commissioner) as their host. They will be inviting London art dealers, New Zealand businesses with a UK presence and UK based NZ press to this event where we will also be offering some work for pre-sale. This is a unique event which will expose NZ art to a wide and interested audience.

Chavah Kinloch - Contemporary Artist

Chavah Kinloch is a self-taught Artist that works mainly in acrylic paints on canvas. Chavah enjoys using texture in the majority of
her paintings as she loves the way it adds another dimension and creates a talking point. Born in Western Samoa, raised in Auckland and now living in Southland, life for Chavah has always been diverse and colourful, just the way she likes it. Her passion for art was realised by herself and others around her, early in her childhood.

Throughout school days her artworks were displayed in exhibitions around her hometown of Henderson in West Auckland. Art classes were a favourite while at school. With no formal training but a pure love for art Chavah decided to rediscover her passion for painting again after taking time out to have a family. 

Chavah describes herself as "An always smiling, always thinking, go getter with enough drive to pull a steam engine." She enjoys creating new goals and is always ecstatic about achieving them. She believes in living life to its fullest and constantly challenging yourself to push past your fears to attain the life you truely deserve. Anyone that has ever met Chavah will tell you about her extremely infectious laugh and good spirit. Her bright and loving personality manages to shine through in her Art. While painting is her major artistic outlet, Chavah also enjoys sketching, taking black and white photographs of her family, making childrens play tutus and bringing old furniture back to life. 'Anything to be creative!" Chavah says.

Her love of creating has led to some wonderful experiences. Chavah's work is exhibited regularly throughout New Zealand and can be found in collections amongst homes, offices and hospitals nationwide, with some pieces travelling as far abroad as the U.S.A.
