This Thistle Hall Exhibition features three Wellington-based visual artists, each with a unique style and perspective on creativity: Jenny Martin, Lindsay Blakeley and Rebecca Mooney. Their friendship unites them, highlighting the importance of community support among artists, whanau, and the broader community. Together, they inspire and elevate one another.
Jenny Martin’s paintings explore profound themes and social issues through imaginative worlds and still life. Her vibrant work challenges societal ideals and surface-level beauty.
Lindsay Blakeley's painting is deeply influenced by the vibrant energy of her natural surroundings, particularly the interaction between the land and sea. She works mainly in acrylic, with some mixed media.
Rebecca Mooney’s practice has always been informed by physical engagement with the landscape, particularly through walking. She is interested in how art can make us conscious of our place in the world.
