Deborah Hide-Bayne lives in Coromandel, New Zealand/Aotearoa. She escaped to the Coromandel Peninsula in 2003 from her hectic London life as a professional artist and picture framer. Deborah combines cooking, painting and gardening in this recipe and sketchbook. Realistic gem-like watercolours of fruit and vegetables contrast with fragments of found objects/ collage that reference her preoccupation with memorabilia and life here in Aotearoa.
