NZ Art Guild 2008 Collaborative Project
‘Reach Out’88 artists have contributed to ‘Reach Out’ by creating one small individual artwork. We were provided with a small wooden panel and given a theme to paint to. The theme this year is ‘On your mind’ and interpretation of this was entirely up to the artists.
When all of these individual artworks are combined they create an overall image and a stunning one of a kind artwork measuring 1.3m x 1.5m. The overall image of the collaborative artwork is kept secret, even from those participating in it, until the unveiling of the artwork on the opening night of the NZ Art Guild annual exhibition.

Playing with pastels
I’ve been playing with pastels, and loosely based my work on photos I have taken of the Mana Bay area at Patea Beach here in New Zealand. I love the immediacy of pastel, and the vibrancy of the colours. -
