National Contemporary Art Award at Te Whare Taonga o Waikato Museum & Gallery finishes on Sunday. So stoked to have had Rattle and Hum included. Rattle and Hum is a sealed vessel - a dried hue, fat from the rains of Cyclone Gabrielle. Rhythm hums across its surface; seeds remain hidden within. Tension gathers between stillness and unrest, containment and potential. The work listens more than it speaks, holding space for the future. #NZArtist #hue #ncaa #object

Headlands

Progress of Headlands Acrylic on canvas 760mm x 760mm

The beginning of the year is such a wonderful time for headspace. Once Christmas and New Year are over and the visitors have gone home and our little concertina house shrinks back down the two (actually three) of us. Time for yoga in the morning, gardening, swimming, reading and daydreaming. And painting.
First work this year is an exercise in capturing an idea and having something to comeback to every day.
Today I am grateful for:
Homemade granola and soy milk
The couch in the garden
Painting
An invite to watch a Brazilian movie
Christchurch kid surprise visit
Spag Bol
Night rain

Pohutukawa Colouring Page

It’s the school holidays and I thought it might be useful to make a colouring page free to download. Originally it was in my art shop, but that forced you to not only give your email address but also your mailing address! Not helpful.
Turns out I can pop it here and then you can just download at will. Very interested to see if you can comment with an image of your colouring.
