The speaker at the June meeting of Warkworth Mens Rebus Club was Claudia Pond Eyley, a leading visual artist, painter, print maker and film director. Claudia was born in Matamata and attended schools in Montreal, Canada and New York. She returned to New Zealand to attend the School of Fine Arts at Auckland University in the mid 1960s, specialising in painting with leading artist Colin McCahon. Claudia started making documentary films in 2005 to mark the 20th anniversary of the bombing of the Rainbow Warrior. “Departure and Return: The final journey of the Rainbow Warrior” premiered at the NZ International Film Festival in 2006. Inspired by the experience of working with glass, Claudia continues to paint using Perspex as a base.
