Steve and Bobby Clark don’t just make art, they live creatively, too, and their home reflects their optimism and can-do mindset. There’s never been an absolute master plan – they don’t seem to need one.

“We really just get on with it,” says Bobby, an artist and designer. “We make do and improve things.” Her husband Steve owns sculpture and furniture studio denHolm. Originally from Scotland, the couple came to the Antipodes 12 years ago on a whim, fell in love with the city’s artistic community and never left. “A year ticked on, and then another. We weren’t ready to leave, so we just never did,” says Bobby.
