BAY OF PLENTY GARDEN AND ART FESTIVAL - Tauranga 19th - 22nd November 2026
This longstanding festival of all things botanical returns in November. I will once again have my Bethlehem studio open as part of the trail so it will be a great opportunity to visit and check out my work, my processes and see what inspires me. If you would like to get some tickets now you can order some here. It's the perfect friends weekend away!
NZ ART SHOW - TSB Arena, Wellington - 4th - 6th June 2027
It's a fabulous show longstanding show and I am chuffed to once again be selected to exhibit. The calibre of work is always extremely high. Look forward to seeing you at King's Birthday Weekend Welly!
