Listen up Nelsonite Encaustic Art Collectors.........The Art Expo Nelson is fast approaching and it is THE place to find something special for your home. I have been working hard in my studio over the past year to create some artworks a little closer to home, in key places around the Tasman.
My Kiwi family have been holidaying at Totaranui Campground in the Abel Tasman for over 40 years and I have managed to incorporate a little of that into my artwork for you to enjoy at this years show. You might recognise places like Awaroa, Nelson Harbour, Fifeshire Rock aka Arrow Rock, Rocks Road fishing platform and Haulashore Island. Did you know this year the Campground in Totaranui, will be strictly enforcing a zero waste policy. NO GARBAGE FACILITY ONSITE!!! Pack in what you pack out. They are over the high waste mentality with campers leaving bottles, tents and plastic chairs, you name it, in campground skips for the rangers to remove at their own expense. They will also have an onsite compost bin and rinsing stations for plastic / metal containers. I am looking forward to seeing how it works out this year. It will sure be a learning curve for everyone involved. #nomoreplastic #plasticfreemovement I will off course be bringing my flora and fauna themed encaustic artworks as well. These will include some of your favourite New Zealand Birds: Morepork Ruru, Fantails, Tuis, Pukekos, South Island Robin and few less known birds from around here. Ravens and eagles....I might have went on a little Holiday back to Canada over the winter. I am looking forward to the show and visiting my extended family in Nelson. Hopefully see you at the three day art show with more than 100 New Zealand artists selling over 1000 pieces of art. Open from 10 am everyday (Friday 31 August to Sunday 2 September) at the Trafalgar Centre. $5 admission. Comments are closed.
