Nelson Art Expo a Success

7th August, 2012

The Trafalgar Centre was a buzz with more than 3500 people thru the doors to view our works.

Its always great having goals to work toward and I was very pleased to display over 8 pieces of sculpture for the Expo weekend.

It was a real cross section of my garden sculpture , smaller bonzes and some wooden products too.

Thanks to all who came down and made it such a hugely worth while experience for all and special thanks to Nic Foster, Lousie Allan and Annie Leather who put so much time and energy into making it a “must see” on the Nelson Events Calendar.

Check out  website for new updated images of pieces for sale.

Less than two weeks until Nelson Art Expo kicks off.

With less than two weeks until the Nelson Art Expo kicks off  i am busily getting my
Sculpture all finished and polished ready to go. There is something so theraputic
working outside with snow on the mountains and the movements of my arms as I
make every curve and groove smooth and pleasurable to touch.

We recently sold a Platter to some locals for their daughters wedding, and the feedback has been wonderful.

It made us realise what great wedding gifts  we have available here, Shoe racks, Coat hat stands, lovely platters and cheeseboards and for the real foodies french Oak Wood smoking chips  and lovely Oak Rolling Pins for making lavosh…yum I can smell the blue cheese from here smothered on the lavosh and served on one of Michaels handcrafted platters.

 

 



Nelson Art Expo July 27-29 2012

26th April, 2012

An aircraft hangar owned by Air Nelson will be transformed into a giant gallery space in July, for the Nelson region’s inaugural three-day art expo.

Art Expo Nelson has secured $23,000 in funding from a Nelson City Council-funded programme for the event, which will showcase 100 selected regional and South Island artists.

The Regional Art Development Initiative (RADi) is behind the expo, and is the same group that produced the Nelson Arts Guide.

Up to 15 art dealers from across the country will meet the artists while being hosted by RADi, with an aim of encouraging professional relationships and transactions in galleries nationwide.
