Let customers speak for us
from 4 reviewsThis artwork captivated us from the moment we laid eyes on it.
This artwork captivated us from the moment we laid eyes on it. Mystery, almost abstract like, we could feel the force of nature displayed dramatically in all its glory. It invited us into its magic. As it hangs proudly in our dining living space it stops us in our track to stare, to observe, and bathe in its glory whenever we see it. This balance that exists in each moment in nature was beautifully captured by Steven Milner. We stand reminded every day all we have at our feet and how majestic some parts of our beautiful land are.

When I walked into The Welcome Swallow Gallery, I was instantly impacted by Stephen Milner’s artwork of Ruapehu. Yet it wasn’t just the three metre canvas it was displayed on - it was the covering of snow on Ruapehu contrasted with the rich oranges and browns of the tussock. Between these contrasts was the mist over the plains so often witnessed in this area. Although offered, I didn’t choose to reduce the size of the photo or I think this photo of Ruapehu would have lost the awe that drew me in, in the first instant. It now hangs proudly in my lounge and has already had many admirers. Thank you Stephen Milner for sharing your talent.

We had been looking for an amazing piece of art for our bedroom wall for over a year. When we walked into the Gallery and saw Ruapehu we knew straight away this was what we had been looking for. I now wake up to a stunning photograph of Ruapehu every morning. The photo as a whole and the details both still capture my attention
