A life in pictures

NZ born artist Derek Ward was the subject of a retrospective exhibition recently staged in Norwich, England. Ward was born in Richmond, NZ, in 1922 and relocated to England with his family aged 7. “Art for me is essentially a form of meditation and I avoiding discussing my work with others for this reason,” he says in an interview with Norwich Evening News. “If I feel the need for recharging my work I walk along a Norfolk beach and look at the pebbles there.”
