"This mural was inspired by the surrounding landscape and wildlife, featuring Motukokako (also fondly known as the Hole in the Rock), flying fish, Cape Brett, pohutukawa, kawakawa, clematis and the rare and incredibly special Kokako." @erikapearce.artist March 17, 2020

Paihia Sea Wall Mural by New Zealand artist Erika Pearce @erikapearce.artist at 124 Marsden Road, Paihia, Bay of Islands, New Zealand in April 2019. Photos taken February 2025.

"Located on the bluff in Paihia, just before Te Ti Bay, the beach location required some serious logistics! I painted for 6 days straight, from sunrise to sunset, moving the lift off the beach at every high tide. On completion of the mural, local Iwi hosted a sunrise blessing with a great turn out from the community."

"We are surrounded by ocean. Where ever you are in Aotearoa, you are not much more than an hours drive to the coast. The health of our people depends on the health of the ocean. Paihia is one of those special places where people come from all over the world to connect with and play in the surrounding waters. We are so blessed, let's work together so future generations will be able to enjoy it too." @erikapearce.artist May 17, 2019
