"24 Fingers and 6 Thumbs" by Heather Matthews, Ian Anderson and Pam Naylor
Gallery One
16 January to 12 February
A group exhibition featuring the work of Heather Matthews, Ian Anderson and Pam Naylor.
Heather Matthews (MBE, BFA) - Tindalls Bay
Teaches painting and drawing to adults at “ARTLAB” in Whangaparaoa. Formally one of N.Z.’s top women athletes, she went back to university at age 58 and received a Fine Arts degree, majoring in painting. She loves colour and moved from realism to abstraction to formulate new ideas.
This exhibition will follow the theme “Jigsaws”, using playful shapes and bright colours.
Pam Naylor (MST) - Gulf Harbour
I enjoy capturing beautiful colours from local scenery with acrylics on canvas and also work with pen and ink, water colour and other media.
My acrylics on canvas has a “hint of impressionism”. I work from photos keeping the finished piece as true as possible without being too perfect. I enjoy mixing my own colours and tones, working with light and shade to create the impression of detail. My water colours, start with a pencil sketch then black ink before colouring – creating a sort of cartoon style.
This exhibition reflects my range of media and includes pieces which have personal memories which are, not for sale.
Ian Anderson (ERBH) - Warkworth
I paint mostly in oils on gesso primed archival linen canvas. I’m also an illustrator, story teller, poet, designer, photographer, leather artist and creative thinking tutor. I just love anything creative and this exhibit is my “Ians retro and current skite”. From the grand to the small I thought it's about time to put myself back in the public arena and I’m privileged to join with Heather and Pam in our "6 hands and 4 thumbs” creative expression.

"ELEMENTAL" Glass art by Kate Cornwall and Kim Logue
Gallery Three
16 January to 12 February
An exhibition of work by two artists mixing mediums, crossing boundaries and exploring creative choices. Exploring connections between culture, climate and whenua Kim Logue and Kate Cornwall create using mixed media that requires the application of heat/flame to transform and shape. Using methods of lost wax glass casting and refectory casting; blending traditional process allows these artists to push against established process rules for an eclectic myriad of cross pollination of ideas. It is the mixing and exploration of these practices that has led these nonconformists to follow their own line of enquiry pushing the limits of materiality to explore what is possible

About Kate Cornwall
Kate engages with a mixture of approaches and techniques to challenge how art glass is viewed and presented. Kate enjoys the freedom to experiment with approaches, mixing traditional with non-traditional processes in a historically glass craft arena, as seen in her glass life drawing works and scenes of NZ. In recent years Kate has begun exploring the synergies of lost wax metal casting and glass casting and creating aluminium bronze by melting and combining left over copper pieces found around her property and empty aluminium cans to make aluminium bronze alloy to use in her recent hatpin series.
Kate Cornwall was born in Christchurch, New Zealand in 1969. After a successful career in business, with corporate change and project management qualifications, Kate has studied under many of NZ’s world-class glass artists, including David Traub, Evelyn Dunstan, Carmen Simmonds, Elizabeth McClure, as well as several international visiting artists including Daniel Clayman, Silvia Levenson, Kirsty Rae.

"Farbe/Monochrom" by Tim Butler-Jones
Gallery Four (Education Wing Foyer)
16 January to 12 February
Join Tim at his opening on Saturday 21 January from 3pm onwards
Farbe/Monochrom is an introduction to the work of Tim Butler-Jones. The collection includes six colour and five monochrome photographic images that elevate the things we normally pass without noticing. The colour works are simple studies of hue, light and form, made to heighten or calm a mood, whereas the monochrome pieces are dark, geometric spaces where the human element is distorted and dwarfed by their surroundings.
Originally from the UK, Tim moved to the Hibiscus Coast of New Zealand in his early twenties, where the change of scenery and culture slowly changed his creative outlook. Tim started local business Studio-4 Photography and does most of his work as a commercial stills photographer creating beautiful imagery for websites, e-commerce and social media content while still pursuing his love of all-things portrait.

"The Tangaroa Gulf Series" by Gary Hansen
Gallery Two
16 January to 12 February
My art has developed since the 1960's where I was commissioned to carry out a major public installation of four large glass mosaic in the new Wellington Harbour Shipping Terminal .
These have now been restored and are part of the harbourside art trail on the Clyde Quay Wharf Hotel complex.
The mosaics design were influenced by Maori iconography relating to Aotearoa land (Whenua) and ocean (Tangaroa).
As Designer for theatre, film and television media I have worked in New Zealand, Australia (ABC)and England (BBC)
I returned to NZ in the 1970's to work at the new TV Centre Avalon Wellington following which I had a career as a designer and producer in theatre, film and television until 2005.
Received a British Commonwealth Travelling Scholarship to study television, film production and cultural arts in UK, France, Sweden, Denmark, USA and Hong Kong.
I am a retired art, design and technology teacher and Baccalaureate Art/Design Examiner.
and began teaching during 1990's at Diocesan Girls School Epsom where I was artist in residence for one year under Shelly Ryde HOD Art, then at Kristin School Albany and finally Wentworth College Gulf Harbour
I live with my family on the Hibiscus coast Stanmore Bay where i have been continually inspired by the gulf islands and the ocean environments in all seasons night and day.
Art influences derive from Maori culture and imagery, Colin McCahon, Mark Rothko, John Drawbridge, Jackson Pollock and more recently Mio Pang Fei from China.
THE TANGAROA GULF SERIES
These are some of my latest works and my focus has been the ever changing atmospheres' light and colours though the use of mixed media.
Some pieces are utilizing found materials washed in from the ocean. .
Colour combinations, design composition, also a variety of glazing techniques have always interested me together with textured and worn surfaces and layered painting techniques.
My works are held in various New Zealand collections and abroad mainly Australia and Switzerland.
I have been a Blake Art Award finalist in Sydney and have exhibited my 1980/90's etching print series 'Mahurangi Gulf' in a Ponsonby Road gallery.
This was favourably reviewed by TJ McNamara (NZ Herald art critic)1990.
I also have carried out many Corporate commissions and installation art works.
