A Unique Experience
Enjoy Casale di Terra guesthouse where you will shower in pure rainwater, have a cup of herbal tea from the medicinal herb gardens and take a walk along some of New Zealand’s finest coastal tramping trails to refresh and take in the beauty of the island. When rested and ready, you’ll meet with Gabriella to discuss the work of art you want made to commemorate a special event, life transition or to celebrate your journey here.
Gabriella Lewenz
Gabriella has exhibited in galleries in New York, Boston, Connecticut, Italy and Auckland and her paintings are in private collections in the USA, Austria, UK, Sweden, Switzerland, Hong Kong, India, Australia, Turkey and Japan.
Your Commissioned Work of Art
Gabriella works in handmade oils based on recipes of the old masters. You may choose your commissioned artwork on stretched canvas, or on the three-paneled altarpiece which is more distinctive and does not require wall space. You can select a smaller size that can be carried with you, or a larger size placed in a special area in your home. You may also choose to select a work of art hanging in her studio gallery.
