Exhibition
|
2021 marks our 11th annual Exhibition. Each year we work hard to achieve a professional standard of work for our exhibitors, and each year we have a steady flow of visitors through.
Not only does our Exhibition utilize our local hall, but it also provides a great venue for artists to display their work. This is a unique project as it encourages emerging artists to show case their works alongside established artists. |

Exhibition is by invitation only, but we invite people to contact us if they would like to know more.

Guest Artist: Marie Reid-Beadle
I started pursuing my passion as an artist approximately 15 years ago. I am self-taught and my style and choice of subject has somewhat changed over the years. Having started with painting succulents to moving on to cows and native birds. I have two series that I continue to add to. First being my cow series – incorporating cows (usually the beautiful highland cows) with native birds. And my second is my Balancing Act series. Inspired by the rocks of Riverton adding native birds turning into a cairns style structure. This represents for me that life is one long balancing act. I am a keen photographer also, with my camera always close at hand to capture shots of native birds and sexy beasts (cows). My career to date as an artist has been very rewarding. Selling locally and internationally. I have also won some art award including the 2019 Otago Art Society Annual Exhibition. I have held children’s art classes and tutored at workshops. I am honoured to be asked to be guest exhibitor for the 2020 Waimumu Art Exhibition. In a way I find quite fitting as some call me Moomoo and of course I paint cows. Often people say they saw a cow today and thought of me! |
