A Brush With Fame
An Exhibition by Patrick Murphy
21 March - 15 April
Community Gallery - Franklin Arts Centre
Patrick is an artist from the Waikato district and lives just out of Tuakau on 4 acres. After leaving Palmerston North Boys High School he was accepted into Elam University of Fine Arts in Auckland and a course in Visual Communication and Marketing in Wellington. He accepted the latter. After a successful career in advertising he left the industry 2 years ago as an Executive Creative Director and part owner of an independent advertising agency.
Since then Patrick has returned to his two great passions, art and music, where he combined them to create a series called “A Brush with Fame”. The Works have been created on brushes using acrylics and uses iconic musicians as his subjects. Some comic book and movie characters have also been part of the series.
Patrick has always loved to collect works that draw him in and makes him smile. He hopes you enjoy the art as much as he enjoys producing them.

Whether it’s a courgette takeover or a feijoa frenzy, don’t let those garden gems go to waste!
Our suggestion to you: Did you know you can grate and freeze excess courgettes to use in chocolate cake later? It sounds a bit dodgy, but it makes the cake incredibly moist ... and hey, it counts as a serving of veg, right? 🍫
