Johanna and Andrew King
We are a semi retired couple, a landscape architect, and a structural earthquake research engineer. We work from home and abroad as required.
We are passionate about the restoration of historic houses and gardens and the conservation and preservation of our landscape and environment.
Our individual interests are diverse and eclectic: art, antiques, archaeology, earthquakes, physical geology and geography, books, reading, photography, painting and sculpture, gardening, golf, travelling to far flung places, more golf, good wines, food and interesting company.
Our Studio of Creative Inquiry will open in 2022 with day and live-in courses focused on fine arts, garden design and management, conservation (management and sustainability), see creativeinquiry.nz . Guest tutors, artists and artisans will be involved in these 'in nutshell' courses.
For those couples with divergent interests, His 'n Hers Golf Experiences & Fine Art Tuition are planned and under preparation. Especially designed for those people who said "I wish I could learn to paint "... and he /she said "I'd rather golf!" The courses/studios , fine dining and accommodation will be run between our Wellington and Hawkes Bay properties.
To keep us young and active we have 3 adult children, 9 grandchildren and a minor menagerie, a cat and hens, sheep, bees etc, etc, etc.
