Peninsula Weavers group exhibition
Gallery 1
1 to 27 November 2022
Exhibition Opening Saturday 05 November from 4.30pm to 6pm
Peninsula Weavers is an enthusiastic group of weavers who gather together on the fourth Tuesday of each month in the Pohutukawa Room of the Whangaparaoa Library from 11.00 am to 2.00 pm.
Our aim is to share information, provide support and inspiration to each other in our weaving journey. We discuss various weaving styles and encourage each other to try these out. The possibility of teaching various techniques in weaving is available.
Each year we have a challenge in which the various members provide a particular weave (be it a colour, an item, a weaving style or a combination of all these). These are shown at our Christmas gathering and provide great inspiration to each other.
We are a supportive and welcoming group who love to share our passion for weaving.
Participating weavers:
Lorraine Steel, Janie Gummer, Terry Wyatt Lai Lam, Lenie Besseling, Linda MacDonald, Rosemary Burnby, Judy Utting, Sue Mills and Hilde Blank

"Souls of Asia" by Jia Ren
Gallery 1
1 to 27 November 2022
Exhibition Opening Saturday 05 November from 4.30pm to 6pm
Jia Ren Bio
Being a successful dog groomer didn’t stop Jia from seeking more fulfilment in her life. Originating from central north China, she has always dreamed of the artistic translation of life observations. From historical legends to little sparkling's of daily life to mysterious foreign cultures, she is inspired by any subjects around her. Although never having the chance of formal training, Jia has developed her own taste of realism using pencil and acrylic layering. She also engages pastel and mixed media as powerful tools to express herself.
Jia is particularly interested in the ancient paintings from China and Japan. The line drawing method with ink and brush presents simplicity without compromising the realistic appeal of figures. The art of blank leaving and scatter perspective in Chinese traditional paintings brought a romantic atmosphere to the whole picture. Jia wants to demonstrate the classic themes with modern perspective and techniques.

Description of the show “Souls of Asia”
This show presents some realism works with pencil and acrylic. Jia focuses on daily life within oriental scenes such as the graceful historical architectures in Nepal. She is also fascinated by the elegant ancient female figures from China and Japan. Jia combines the traditional line drawing method, calligraphy and the western techniques such as shade and perspective.
The pastel works are free expressions of Jia’s idealistic world. For example, her meditating Buddha is inspired by an ancient painting preserved in the Mogao Caves in China done during the Sui dynasty (581-618 AD). With the exaggerated colour contrasts, she creates strong emotions in her artworks.

"Come a little closer " by Yvonne Gray
Gallery 2
1 to 27 November 2022
Exhibition Opening Saturday 05 November from 4.30pm to 6pm
These intimate mixed media works express themes of identity & our connections with history, nature & each other. Some start out as print-making with leaves and found objects, then progress and may include collage, stencil-work, dry-point, acrylic painting and sketch. Materials used include old pieces of lace, sewing patterns, thread, bandage, hessian and reused printed papers.
Yvonne Gray is an award winning acrylic painter, printmaker & mixed media artist who conveys her thoughts about a place or emotion in an impressionist way in her work. Yvonne's art often has a figurative theme, with many being female as they're from her point of view. She uses a range of techniques such as paint, stencils, linocut & dry-point prints, collage, mark-making, sketch & thread to add depth to her work.

"Kiwi As" by Logan Simich-Burr
Gallery 3
1 to 27 November 2022
Exhibition Opening Saturday 05 November from 4.30pm to 6pm
"My exhibition is a mix of nostalgic kiwi memories, pastimes, places, icons and fun things shown as individual mixed media pieces telling a fun story through art, colour and form and hopefully putting a smile onto people's faces".
View a range of work from a surfboard, gumboot and even a wooden go-cart.
I have been a keen Artist for over 12+ years now and have continued to grow, learn new skills, create new art, and use new mediums.
Last year I was very lucky to have been chosen as the Student Merit Winner at the Annual Members Merit Art Awards at Estuary Arts, the theme was, "Diversity".
So this year I decided to take the plunge and use my prize towards having my first Solo exhibition.
I have been working on 12 pieces for this exhibition as well as private Art Commissions.
Also keeping me busy this year, I have been involved in Prop-making and Set design classes with the NZ Stage School and Combat school, workshops at Weta studios in Auckland and learning the skill of Woodturning.
I hope you enjoy my exhibition and the pieces I have created, simply titled, "KIWI AS..."
