EXHIBITION OPENING - Our Native Birds - Oil paintings by Iris Reesby
EXHIBITION OPENING at Artspace Gallery on the Petone Foreshore.
Saturday 21 July between 1 and 5pm
Please join us this Saturday afternoon, to celebrate the opening of our latest exhibition featuring the amazing oil paintings by Iris Reesby. Meet the artist as she demonstrates her painting skills in the gallery and enjoy a refreshment and live jazz in the friendly ambience of Petone's seaside gallery. Music will be provided by Bill Wollerman, jazz pianist extraordinaire and friends.
In celebration of our wondrous native bird life, Artspace Gallery is hosting one of Wellington regions most talented bird artists, Iris Reesby. Iris has a magical passion for painting birds and we are very excited to see a collection of approx 40 of her paintings hung together. Iris paints exclusively in oils and her skilful and realistic portrayals of New Zealand birds and bush will hold you spellbound. Each painting tells a story, with well thought out quirky titles that will make you smile. In some, it almost feels as if you are walking through the bush. Iris is also skilled at painting florals (the iris of course being quite a favourite) and painting pets/animals, which she is often commissioned to paint.
Free and easy parking right outside the gallery and on the seaside.

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!
