WHITE, Robin, 1946-
Sam Hunt, Bottle Creek (Painting)
Artist Robin White and poet Sam Hunt met in 1968 when they were both 22 years old.
He was visiting Auckland to perform
at the University Arts Festival and
she had finished her Diploma of Fine
Arts at Elam and was training to be
a teacher. When Robin was offered
a job at Mana College in Porirua in
1969, Sam found her a cottage to
live in next to his at Bottle Creek
on Paremata Harbour north of
Wellington.
