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.
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.4% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26.3% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.3% ... It is complicated
Wild weather in Wellington
Wellington’s wild weather is really making itself known — trains and flights are being cancelled, and drivers are being reminded to take it slow and stay safe out there.
