Stitched in sugar fields and silence,
this story is watched by two cats,
moving softly through fabric, shadows, and years,
holding women’s tenderness and memory,
and the desires they were never taught to name.

This exhibition features two styles of Chinese brush painting – gongbihua (court style realism) and shumohua (freehand style). The subject matter – birds, flowers, insects, animals – reflect Chinese artists’ traditional fascination with capturing the natural world in a way that conveys both realism and poetry. This exhibition invites you to join my journey into Chinese brush painting and to see how using a brush, and a variety of mediums like paper and silk, can be the source of creation, joy and discovery.

Kohia te māramatanga, kohia te koa. The gathering of light, the gathering of joy.

In these uncertain times light and joy are a beacon of hope.

Aria's mahi toi reflects the light we all hold within, the very light that helps navigate us through life's challenging times.

Roger's pieces reflect joy and happiness which uplift and give hope for better times ahead. This is reflected in both artists works, with the use of composition, colour, form and function.
