Its always exciting to colloborate!

My ‘Silence and Skies’ series at Thistle Hall is a collection of small ink paintings that distil vast emotional landscapes into minimal, expressive composition.

Mono Flora Series

‘This collection of botanical monotypes explores the delicate relationship between nature and printmaking. Each piece is created by hand on a gelatine plate using ink or gouache, capturing the unique textures, forms, and fleeting beauty of organic material. No two prints are alike—every impression is an original, shaped by the unpredictability of the process and the individuality of each plant. These limited edition works celebrate imperfection, spontaneity, and the quiet poetry of the natural world’. - Fee

I have always loved these brooches, and I think they are often overlooked so I thought I would have some in the gallery!

I love skies and clouds!

‘Fractus clouds, also called fractostratus or fractocumulus, are small, ragged cloud fragments that are usually found under an ambient cloud base. They form or have broken off from a larger cloud, and are generally sheared by strong winds, giving them a jagged, shredded appearance’

It is wonderful to have the original glass works of Heather Kremen in the gallery.

Heather is based in Rotorua where she has her own glass studio.

She has exhibited in NZ and abroad.

Hand chosen beads from India or Italy, vintage bone or ivory, coral, agate or jet beads are just a sample of what Liz puts together to create her individual pieces.

Also, gold or silver vintage chains with charms, pounamu or pearls styled in a unique way.

Original and beautiful, each piece has a story to tell.

It is exciting to be exhibiting for the first time at the NZ Academy of fine arts.

I have x2 works submitted x1 flower painting called ‘Beautiful Tulips’ and one called ‘Fracus Sky’ landscape.

See my ‘Art’ page under oil paintings to view the work or pop along to the exhibition.

Chelsea is a local artist who has completed a Spacial Design degree at Massey University in Wellington.

This work ‘Plum Horizons’ is original and done in oils on canvas.

Aimee is a local potter who works from her studio at home.

She has exhibited her works locally, nationally and overseas and won awards for her work.

It is so good to support local businesses. And to support the community.

This is the cutest ‘thank you’ card from the Khandallah Creche who had a very successful fundraiser.

Apparently, my voucher was very popular! Looking forward to meeting the lucky person who won it!

Beautiful dancing bronze figures on the wall of the Gallery. And a couple of bronze feathers floating in the wind! Stunning works by Michelle and all wall mounted, original and hand made.

So stylish and fun!
