Art at Tayler Point

Sally studied Fine Art at Bournemouth College of Art (BFA England 2009) and at the Dunedin School of Art (New Zealand) Master of Fine Art (MFA) graduating in 2016.

Sally is primarily a painter, but is also interested in art installation. Here is a link to Sally’s website www.sallyshephard.taylerpoint.com

Why not take a few days out from your tour of New Zealand, and relax with us at Tayler Point Homestay. Sally will customise an Art holiday for individuals, couples or small groups. Sally will take you to paint in some of the most beautiful coastal scenes anywhere in the world, just around the corner; or you can wander around our small farm to paint and sketch.

You can talk about art, or learn new art techniques, or visit our local galleries with Sally as your guide. If you are a couple, and only one of you likes art, there is plenty for the other partner to do in and around Port Chalmers, Dunedin and Otago.


We also have an artist retreat / holiday home available to rent in the Garfagnana region of northern Tuscany, Italy.
