The Braided Rivers of Waitaki

Waitaki Whitestone Geopark

The Braided Rivers of Waitaki are world-renowned for their beauty and biodiversity.

Stretching from the Southern Alps all the way to the ocean north of Oamaru, over 60,000 visitors a year follow the river down the Waitaki Valley along the Alps to Ocean cycle trail .

The Waitaki region is soon to become New Zealand’s first UNESCO Global Geopark. Read more about this here.

For over fifteen years now Derek Golding has worked with the digital medium. These artworks are edited and painted in photoshop.

The Braided Rivers is Derek’s first series of artworks showcasing the beauty of the Waitaki Whitestone Geopark.

The artworks are available in a variety of sizes and printed on canvas or aluminum. More variety will be added soon, including museum-quality high-grade papers.
