Sara McIntyre describes herself as a ‘late developer’, she started her nursing career at 38 and had her first solo photographic exhibition at Anna Miles Gallery in Auckland in 2016 at the age of 64. The exhibition Observations of a Rural Nurse is the first time that this body of work has been seen in a public gallery. The exhibition, featuring over 50 photographs taken in Kākahi and the sparsely populated surrounding King Country, is a companion to a wonderful book of the same name that has been published by Massey University Press.
