Meet the committee

Committee members 2024 - 2025
​
Howard Esler was elected to the committee in 2022 and to the role of chair in 2024. Howard has had a property in Mangawhai for 30 years but since signing up for the gold card a few years back he's been living here full time and loving it. He has been making sculpture since childhood and rusty steel has always been the medium of choice. A mechanical engineer by profession, Howard regards art and engineering as pretty much the same thing. Other interests include visual arts in general, recycling and upcycling, conservation, engineering history, natural history, steam punk, pub quiz, Trackies and many more. He has a focus on passing on skills to any who are willing to learn and encouraging others to do the same. Howard believes that putting a washing machine 30 feet up a tree is perfectly normal and can discuss the matter energetically for hours if required.
