"AND WHAT DO YOU DO ON WEDNESDAYS?"

Open daily 10.00am - 6.00pm.

Well, Rosemary Stokell takes an art class in Khandallah! The works being exhibited are a cross section from many of the students who have worked in one of her classes, workshops or from a trip within NZ or overseas. Many had to be persuaded to exhibit, thinking that the work 'was not up to it!', but as you will see they have put on a grand show. At the same time they have learnt alot about all aspects of mounting and marketing an exhihibition, as this has been a totally co-operative venture undertaken by the Wednesday class.

Rosemary takes classes and workshops elsewhere in the North Island and South Island such as in and around Central Otago. Sydney and Hill End in NSW, Australia, and Samoa have made up the Pacific trips, and this year's overseas trip is to Morocco in May 2010.

HOSSIN
Beau Zimmer

Opening 6.00 - 10.00pm Monday 15 March, then open Tuesday - Saturday 9.00am - 6.00pm and Sunday 10.00am - 4.00pm.

Beau Zimmer Presents 'Hossin Photography and Art'. A unique exhibition of ocean and landscape oil on canvas finger paintings.

I am a 26 year old artist and freelance photographer from Northland, New Zealand. Having been raised on the west coast of New Zealand, I have a love for surfing and the lifestyle. I am very passionate about my work and have dedicated my time to capturing stunning coastal landscape and ocean scenery, in the form of photographs and paintings. My art is a unique form of finger painting. My medium is oil on canvas. The majority of my paintings derive from my photographs. I also frame all my work myself with fence posts from the northland country side.

PETER COATES

I love to paint. Its vicious quality. Its colours. Its texture, its ability to express beyond words… with its link to calligraphy… the movements that my body makes when using it. This love dates from my childhood. I paint because I feel. I feel because I am. I am alive, and I hope that my work reflects this. I am a passionate person. I am not interested in photographic, soulless, repetitive art. I chase feelings in my work. If you want a pigeon hole for me I am an Abstract Impressionist.

Good art is a world of ideas and passion. I hope sincerely that people who see my work enjoy the passions behind it… and feel as well as see.

'DADDY WENT A HUNTING...'
Julia Bromley

Opening 5.00-9.00pm Monday 19 April.

'daddy went a hunting...' promises to be an enigmatic collection of Julia's most recent works - dreamscapes larger than life and heavy with atmospheric weight. The works insist on questioning the ways in which animals have insinuated themselves conceptually into human consciousness. Without giving away too much, this collection of work will take the viewer on a journey not unlike the accidental tumble of Alice down the rabbit hole...

Bye, baby bunting,
daddy went a hunting...
to fetch a baby rabbit-skin,
to wrap his baby bunting in.
