Artist Biography
Born Otahuhu, Auckland (1948).
"Some years ago when I was residing in Ponsonby, I was looking for an area close to home that I could resonate with and find inspirational as a plein air artist. I started to explore this area at the back of Mangere Mountain and found it to be exactly what I was looking for.
Old farming areas (which reminded me of South Auckland where I grew up, and began my journey as an artist), beautiful coastal areas with the wonderful Manukau Harbour as a backdrop, ancient volcanic outcrops, Otuataua Stonefields, and these wonderful old farm buildings which appealed to me as an artist.
This is one of the most historic areas in Auckland where Maori first settled in Tamaki Makaurau more than 800 years ago, which they originally use for market gardening and farming.
So began my obsession with recording in paint this extraordinary area, which I wanted to document before the land was sold up, and large commercial buildings began to dominate the landscape and change the face of it forever.
My working methods:
I work from observation and experience, and draw and paint what inspires me and I hope to confirm that what I paint is of lasting importance.
With plein air painting it is coming to terms with the landscape, immediate response and seizing the moment, and working quickly.
Translating a subject into paint is a challenging and often mysterious business. I look for immediate response and begin to assess the composition, the tonal qualities, the colour, and the contrasting light and shadow.
I work principally in oils and I paint on prepared panels, canvas boards and stretched canvas. I always work on a suitably toned ground and immediately state the darkest dark and the lightest light.
I also work in Gouache, watercolour, acrylic, pastel and mixed media. I use a variety of artists quality papers and matt board.
For studio work (excluding still life), I use my extensive collection of sketchbooks and small colour notes (which are produced in situ) and provide me with endless information and ideas.
My larger landscapes and abstract works are produced in the studio from my artists notes and studies.
All of my still life paintings are painted from direct observation from the subject. I work for a period of perhaps say an hour, and then continue on other days under a similar light until I feel I have said enough, with possibly up to 10 sessions with much scraping back and re-working.
After 50 years at the easel and over 38 solo shows, this gives you an introduction to my working methods."

Welcoming the return of founding Lake House Arts Artists in a very special
exhibition marking the next turning point in the development of Lake House Arts.
This exhibition will feature art from the “original” Lake House Artist Tony Ogle.
Tony was very involved in the early stages of saving the house, as an historic icon of Takapuna. In 1995 with 25 other artists, he organized the “End of an Era”
exhibition held in the House to draw public attention to its significance and
imminent destruction at the hands of a local property developer.
Five years later, after Lake House Arts was saved from destruction, relocated and renovated, Tony, along with guest and resident artists held the first
exhibition at the new Lake House - “The New Era” Exhibition was a celebration of the beginnings of Lake House Arts Success. Many of the original artists from both the “Era” exhibitions will return.

by Alex Witten-Hannah
We are very grateful for the incredible, ongoing contribution Alex Witten-Hannah has made to the success of Lake House Arts. It is true to say that without Alex it is very possible Lake House Arts would not exist today! As the legal support for the original trust that saved Lake House from destruction, Alex was responsible for putting the injunction in place which stopped the improper sale of the building and ensured it could be saved and restored.
Alex continues to make a substantial contribution with this extraordinary collection of “lockdown art”. Level 4 had a significant and lasting impact on Lake House Arts, eliminating tens of thousands of dollars of revenue in a very short time. In an incredibly generous gesture, Alex has agreed that all proceeds from the sale of these works will go entirely to Lake House Arts.
These works are now available to purchase as single edition, signed and framed prints. The social media post will also be provided in a small frame to compliment the overall work and add prominence and context to the lockdown art.
20 x 25 cm size - $175.00
28 x 38 cm size - $250.00
Includes signed single edition print, complimentary A6 size framed social media post and printed and special edition printed catalogue. To reserve you print please email Operations Manager Grae Burton at manager@lakehousearts.org.nz
YOUR PURCHASE DIRECTLY SUPPORTS THE DELIVERY OF ART PROGRAMMES FOR CHILDREN AND FAMILIES AT-
