The Home of Judy Millar

Judy Millar is an artist from New Zealand, whose home and studio can be found on the remote wind-swept shoreline of Waitakere just outside Auckland. I’d love to hole myself up in a place like this to draw and take in the view.

“Upon four acres, her home, comprised of found industrial materials, overlooks the black sands of Anawhata beach. Known for its treacherous conditions, the beauty of this rugged coastline exudes a wild energy and beauty. Describing her home like an animal that moves and makes sounds in the wind, it is a structure that she has become inextricably linked with. A series of sprawling sub-tropical garden beds have been built up as protection from the wind, that over time have seen the roof replaced more than once.”
