Art at Tikana
The Lodge at Tikana features a range of works by local artists for your enjoyment.

Roddy McMillan – wood carver.
Roddy is a born and bred Southlander. In the mid 80's he started carving for local joinery and antique shops reproducing and repairing antique furniture. After extensive travel Roddy returned to New Zealand in the early 90's and devoted his talents to full time wood sculpturing.
His works are in the Anderson Park Art Gallery in Invercargill, private collections throughout New Zealand and in America, Great Britain, South Africa and Australia.
Commission work for private collectors, corporate organisations and tourists keep this talented wood sculptor busy. |

Kirk Munro - painter
Kirk is an award-winning artist based near Winton, Southland, at the southern tip of New Zealand.
Working mainly in oils, he specialises in mid to large-scale paintings ranging from the dense bush and dramatic mountains of nearby Fiordland National Park, to bright and colourful impressionistic florals, covering a wide selection of subjects and styles. The strong demand for works on commission has limited the supply of paintings to galleries for the last few years, but has increased his ability to work with different techniques and styles to suit each new client's requirements. It also ensures plenty of fresh challenges in each day's work, though the bulk of requests still centre on the stunning scenery of New Zealand's majestic South Island. A key element in all Kirk Munro paintings is the fact that all scenes are real places, not invented or exaggerated.
For guests at Tikana we can arrange for you to paint with Kirk or be tutored by him - indulge in some art in the backdrop of the inspirational Fiordland National Park.
