About us

Hi, I'm Renee Curtin, the heart behind Bloom Gallery + Gift. My journey to creating this vibrant space has been shaped by my love of art, design, and a lifelong passion for business. 

For years, I poured my energy into running successful businesses that brought joy and connection to the community. After stepping away from one of these businesses, I knew I needed a new creative challenge - One that combined my entrepreneurial spirit with my love for art. 

When the opportunity arose to open a space on Winton's Great North Road, it felt like the perfect next step. Bloom Gallery + Gift was born from this moment of inspiration - a desire to create something truly special for Southland.

Our Gallery celebrates creativity and connection, showcasing local, New Zealand, and a few Australian artists alongside carefully curated gifts. It's a space where stories are told through art and memories are made through thoughtful giving. 

I've always believed in embracing opportunities when they arise, and Bloom is my way of sharing beauty, joy, and inspiration with the community I know and love.
