NEW TIDINGS FROM COLETTE

Memories of Black Horse Media, “Memories of Flight” Art Show

26/8/2021

Although the numbers attending the “Memories of Flight” Art Show, held at the Wigram Hotel, Christchurch, a little over a week ago now, were less than we had all hoped for, it was none-the-less an enjoyable event.  The finger-food and wine served throughout the day was delicious and enjoyed by everyone I spoke to.  Those who attended were generous in their appreciation of the work by all the artists.
 
I was able to beautifully display my work on a series of panels, boxed at either end.  This has inspired me to seek an exhibition space in a darkened room with my work, in comparison, fully lit.  The exhibition was held in the room that I understand, was once used as the officer’s mess back when this building was part of the air force barracks.  This room has some great windows, which, as the day lengthened, allowed the sun to peer over the top of the displays, and in the case of my work, created some wonderful sparkling effects as the light moved across the paintings.  
​
I received the People’s Choice Award and fellow artist, friend and collaborator on my book, Frankie
Bakker, received the Platinum Award.

I have been spending much of the past few months writing more than painting.  Have the best part of a manuscript for a book of erotic poetry, being illustrated by the fabulous Frankie Bakker. Check out her work – here.  I’m at the editing stage, which is exciting.  But now I am flat out painting, getting organized for the Christchurch Memories of Flight Art Show being held by Black Horse Media, Wigram Hotel, August 13th, 14th, 15th.  Really looking forward to this new exciting  venue.  Hope to see many of you there.

Meet the Maker Oamaru Art Tour

15/11/2020

0 Comments

 
“Meet the Maker” held here in Oamaru, yesterday, thanks to the organisation and hard work of the wonderful Jane from Moa Bakery. I was delighted that the two paintings shown here were bought by one buyer. A number of local artists accepted the offer to take part in this day of home/studio/garden visits and I was lucky enough to have the support and fun of sharing my venue with the beautiful and talented Debrina Price-Ewen - check out her work on Instagram. Thank you to all the warm, wonderful people who did the art tour. The networking and generosity of spirit and pocket was truly inspiring.

So much fun setting myself up at the Harbour Street Studio! This is a working artists' studio and gallery; still working out retail options. You'll find me here most days of the week - usually later in the afternoon.
Visitors can wander up any time via the Collective Cafe downstairs (open 7 days a week). You are welcome to come and check out the art, make purchase enquiries or just come and say hello.
