We’ve decided to share some sneak peaks of today’s install, but nothing will prepare you for the world Michael has created. Fish swim up toward the ceiling, native trees grow out from the floor, and colourful birds appear to fly across the walls.
Peace on Earth is an experiential exhibition featuring artwork inspired by New Zealand’s natural environment as well as icons from Michael’s own imagination. Visit Feilding Art Centre between May 20 to June 16.

When she was starting out, Julia would enlarge some of Van Gogh’s Iris and Sunflower paintings using a similar technique – thick paint, no blended brushstrokes. In developing her own style, Julia she continues to use thick impasto and minimal blending with the aim of producing paintings reminiscent of stained glass.
Recently, Julia has been focusing on painting other flowers, including New Zealand natives such as the kowhai.
Julia joined the Feilding and District Art Society in March this year and will be exhibiting Flowers - an exhibition exploring her Van Gogh-inspired works – in January 2023.
