wanaka arts society easter exhibition

Entries are now in for the upcoming Wanaka Arts Society exhibition that will be running the whole Easter weekend.

I will have 4 paintings in the group exhibition. At the moment my studio has turned into a bit of production line kind of thing, as I'm priming and painting cradled hardboard to use as a type of framing to mount my mixed media pieces done on recycled placemats.

It's the less glamorous side of an artist's life, but it is very exciting to see the works all properly framed and ready to hang.

Looking forward to the exhibition.
