4 days 'til the Nelson Home and Garden Show.
We'll be there with a 'carefully curated selection' (aka a car load of good ones!) of larger original paintings, some coastal vibes and the latest shore birds.

I'm told my paintings are far better in the flesh when you can see the color and texture in real life, than in a photo.

So if you're interested to see my paintings all lined up in real life, this is a good time.

🧐 Where & When? Saxton Stadium, Friday 18th through Sunday 20th.
Oh ... stand 48, by the cafe!

I'm excited to be exhibiting at Nelson Home & Garden Show, 18–21 Sept. I'll have FREE TICKETS to give away 🤗

Much of my work is textured, painted with a knife. The detail is difficult to photograph well and show online. Here's a chance to see them in the flesh, and wander the Home Show.

I'm bringing a collection of South Island landscape originals, coastal pieces and shore bird paintings.

Details:
Stand 48 (by the cafe). Saxton Stadium, Nelson. 18-21 Sept.
Those free tickets? Just ask me. First in first served :)
