Meet the artists on Friday 17 March from 5 to 7pm


Featuring artist Susannah Law and her students, invited photographer Heather Maree Owens and sculptor Kim Boyd, this is a show for families inspiring awe in the magical beauty of the flora and fauna in our country. Works include paintings based on stories and myths, prints, photography, diorama’s of forests and ceramic sculptures. The artists all studied or taught at Hungry Creek in Puhoi together and have a similar theme in their work based on a love for nature and fantasy. Students are aged from 9yrs upwards and have been studying with Sue for many years from her home studio in Red Beach.

"North South" by Sylvie Joyce

Gallery Two
13 March to 02 April
​Opening and meet the artist on Friday 17 March from 5 to 7pm


A series of abstract paintings representing the imagined lasting impressions that may be experienced whilst exploring the world from the Arctic to the Antarctic and many places in between.
Art for me is a means to get grounded and connected to the world around me. Art takes me on a voyage of discovery and I find I am most interested in abstract representations of a moment, a special memory or a world that may be. ​
