Art Waikino 2025 - opening night

Here are a few photos of the exhibition, taken on the opening night, which was very well attended.

And the waves keep rolling in

19.10.2025 Art in Motion event

Here are the two pieces in the exhibition. I thought my idea to display 'Celebration' on a turntable (see video) was fitting for the 'Art in Motion' theme.

And a few general shots - some very interesting outfits!

Art Waikino 2025 - entries submitted

I have just submitted my application form for this exhibition - two of my acrylic with sand & glitter paintings: 'Sailing at Sunset' and 'The waves keep rolling in'.

The next Arts Collective event is 'Art in Motion' - Sunday 19 October 2025

I have just finished the piece I am going to exhibit at this event, and have sorted an 'arty outfit'. Looking forward to a 'fun' afternoon.
