Exhibition opening this week!
Tammie Rose Hodgetts presents her latest body of work in 'Rural Stitches' - on display from September 2 to 21.
These opulent landscapes are all inspired by scenes from the Rangitikei, rendered in Tammie's unique cubist style. The colours and lines Tammie incorporates into her work create a sense that each landscape is stitched together. And yet simultaneously, there is a jewel-like quality in the faceted forms that appear in each painting.
Tammie's artworks certainly offer a unique and intriguing vision of our local landscape, and her exhibition is not one to be missed!

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
