Less than one week to go until Manawatū Art Expo! When our region’s premier art event begins on July 15, you will have the chance to see original artwork by 99 artists from all over New Zealand.

Among them, today’s Artist a Day: Jin Hou.

Born in Beijing, China, Jin came to New Zealand in 2002. She holds a bachelor’s degree in Mass Media from the University of Canterbury and is currently based in Palmerston North, where she creates watercolour paintings inspired by travel and meditation.

Of her work, Jin says that painting allows her to express herself. She also finds painting to be a kind of spiritual practice, allowing her to experience a sense of oneness with the universe. When painting, Jin invests her energy and emotions in an effort to construct paintings that trigger memory and feeling: bringing viewers love, peace, and light.

Jin will be exhibiting five artworks at Manawatū Art Expo. To experience these works, be sure to visit between 9am and 4.30pm, July 15 through 17 – Palmerston North Conference and Function Centre.

Only 8 days to go until Manawatū Art Expo begins! To count down to our region’s premier art event, we are showcasing an Artist a Day.

To count down to our region’s premier art event, we are showcasing an Artist a Day. With more than 90 exhibitors taking part in Manawatū Art Expo, these posts are just a snapshot of the range of brilliant New Zealand artists whose work will be on show between July 15 and 17.

Today’s feature artist is Andrea Connor, an artist whose work conveys the patterns of nature using layers of acrylic paint. Each time Andrea produces a work, she says learns something new about the rhythm of nature and her medium of choice, saying, “the surface is only the beginning, as there are multitudes of layers to explore.” She enjoys looking at ways to express these multitudes by combining multiple layers and combinations of colour.

Andrea’s primary source of inspiration is the natural world: the ever moving, ever-changing, ever-growing thing in which we all live. As such, her work has an organic, flowing theme at its the core.

She believes that it is the nature of art and the way of nature to push us beyond narrow realities, to find new or forgotten realms of pleasure.

If you'd like to see more of Andrea’s work, join us at Manawatū Art Expo - Palmerston North Conference and Function Centre - 15-17 July. It's only $5 to enter, and under 14s can come along for free!

Manawatū Art Expo is less than two weeks away! For each day in June, we’re showcasing one of the 98 artists whose work will be on show at this year’s Manawatū Art Expo, taking place at Palmerston North Conference and Function Centre from 15 – 17 July.

For our fourth Artist a Day post, we’re excited to share with you the work of Val Jones. Val is a Foxton Beach-based artist working primarily in acrylic paints. In her works, Val seeks to capture the beauty of the natural world - birds, insects, landscapes, flowers and seascapes – all rendered in bold, bright colour. Val says she enjoys photographing her subjects prior to painting them, as the painting process enables her to interpret the beauty of the scene into her own, unique style.

Val will be exhibiting five artworks at Manawatū Art Expo 2022. Be sure to visit between 9am and 4.30pm from July 15 and 17 for your chance to see these vibrant artworks in person! In the interim, you can learn more about Val’s art by perusing her Instagram feed @val.jones.art.

We're 12 days away from Manawatū Art Expo! When the doors open at 9am on July 15, one of the artists whose work will be on show is Natalia Vidyakina: a Masterton based artist and author.

Natalia describes herself as an impressionist painter, but one whose work is also imbued with a style that is just her own. As an artist who admires nature’s ability to care for its inhabitants, Natalia says she draws inspiration from the natural world, but her goal is not to achieve realism or a naturalistic finish. Instead, she explains that she strives to “paint [her] emotions into each subject” so that her paintings provide a form of visual healing for the viewer.

You can learn more about Natalia by visiting her website: www.nataliavidyakina.com... and If you'd like to see more of Natalia’s work, join us at Manawatū Art Expo - Palmerston North Conference and Function Centre - 15-17 July.

It's only $5 to enter, and under 14s can come along for free!

Just 13 days to go until Manawatū Art Expo begins at Palmerston North Conference and Function Centre. To count down to Manawatū Art Expo, we’re sharing the story of some of the artists exhibiting at this year’s event.

In our second Artist A Day post, we introduce you to Gill Allen. Working from her studio in the Horowhenua, Gill’s creative practice focuses on semi-abstracted landscapes and still life compositions. Her paintings are a mix of landscapes and flowers, drawn and painted in both full colour as well as black and white.

Gill considers soft pastel her main medium but says she also loves “dark line, inks”. She explains that her mark-making and drawing style emulate the movement and life found in nature and the natural landscape that surrounds her. This is a style she first began developing at art school - where she fell in love with the linear work of Vincent Van Gogh - but one she has developed and refined throughput her career.

Gill holds a BFA from Otago Art School, as well as a City and Guilds qualification in Further Education Adult Education. As well as seeing Gill’s work at this year’s Manawatū Art Expo, you can explore her art at gillallen.co.nz or follow her on Facebook @gillallenNZArtist.
