As we enter the final days of the exhibition I would like to introduce three more artists.

Meet artist Janaya Giles

Janaya Giles was the inspiration behind Paper Jam. She is the reason I fell in love with collage and discovered the benefits of this art medium. Janaya is an artist who loves words, it is how she started her collage journey. Cutting out letters and words to use in her art. She is also a super fan of Ed Sheeran and I love how she incorporated him into her piece. Thank you so much to whoever bought her piece you made her feel so special! Super super proud of you Janaya.

Ed By Janaya Giles $40 SOLD

Meet artist Cara Howes

Cara is a Mixed Media artist who runs our Mixed Media workshops at Paper Jam. She is a valued member of the team whom I adore. Her pieces are colourful and oh so gorgeous. She is a wonderful teacher and I have learnt so much from her. Composition and colour are such strong suits of Cara. Her art pieces are visually stunning. Best of all her her pieces are still available so you have a chance to purchase one. Please send me a DM if you would like to purchase one.

"Autumn Path I " Acrylic and Oil $240
"Autumn Path II" Acrylic and Oil $280
"Oamaru Blossom" Acrylic and Oil $280
"Cool Cat " Mixed Media $240

Meet Artist Maxine Linklater
Maxine is a regular at Paper Jam whom we think is the bees knees. The energy she brings to the studio is contagious and we love her enthusiasm for collage. The detail and thought she has put into her piece "Moonlighting as a Homeowner" is inspiring. From the staircase within the moon to the topiaries on the balcony. Maxine's piece is still for sale so please send a DM if you would like to purchase.

"Moonlighting as a Homeowner" Collage $180

So proud of you all.

Exhibition "New Beginnings" can be viewed at Art on the Quay until April 22nd.
