After completing an MFA last year it is great to be able to share my 10 meter long watercolour from our 'locked down' Grad Show at this exhibition @ DEMO

Wayfinding,’ is the final exhibition in a series of shows by recent MFA and BFA(Hons) graduates.

Artists: Rachael Burke, Sonja Drake, Ana Garcia, Mel Gilbert, Hulita Koloi, Ken Khun, Cecilia Marquez, Anton Maurer, Te Ara Minhinnick

‘Wayfinding’ brings together artists working with the idea that relationships are continually changing and renegotiated. A sense of belonging and connection shifts over time depending on events, experiences, conversations and places. 'Wayfinding' aims to question how groups of people and individuals build a feeling of belonging over time.
 
Opening: Thursday 21 July, 5.30pm - 7.30pm
Open dates: Friday 22 July – Saturday 23 July, 11am - 3pm.

As Above, So Below
A group of six artists working to a theme

The unseen networks - mycelial, alluvial, dendrological, familial, that connect through histories, landscapes and timelines.
The idea for this show began with a conversation about matriarchal rites of passage. Discussion soon morphed into inquiries of ancestral connections and the felt sense of 'me' in relationship with a nature-
connected environment. Like the complex root systems of our native and non-native trees, the work in this shared space aims to push beneath the dermis; to be in symbiotic relationship above and below the surface, in conversation with the forces around us.

Opening: Friday 17th June 5.30 - 8 pm
Where: Railway Street Gallery, 8 Railway Street, Newmarket

So delighted, my work Ferric Coruscation won the Kumeu Art Award! A big thank you to the Judge, Claire Ulenberg, and to Jago, Yvonne, all the volunteers at Kumeu Arts and of course the sponsors.

Ferric - of or containing iron.
Coruscation - to give forth flashes of light; sparkle, glimmer, glint

This work is painted in acrylic over rust paint, giving it the curuscation
