The Village of Waikuku Beach

John Coley MBE (1935–2026)

In 2007, John created The Village of Waikuku Beach, a beautifully detailed illustration of our coastal community. With its familiar streets, landmarks, coastline and handwritten observations, the drawing invites us to explore Waikuku Beach through an artist’s eyes.
