"Larger Space" by David Underwood

Kim from Orewa

An exhibition of paintings - Estuary Arts Orewa

24 September to 20 October 2019
​Opening function Saturday 28 September 3pm to 5pm
Born in England, David now lives on the North Shore. Trained as an astrophysicist at London and Leicester Universities, David has worked as a physics teacher for many years in the Middle East, Australia, the UK and New Zealand.
He began painting seriously in acrylics several years ago and has exhibited in galleries in Scotland and New Zealand. David's paintings are inspired by his interests in science and his work stretches from realism, through whimsical to surreal reflection. His work often suggests a story behind the image on the canvas, and his landscapes are inspired by the imaginary extensions of the real world.

David has exhibited in Scotland at the Seagull Gallery, Castle gallery and 18-East Gallery, and in Auckland at Lakehouse and Northart gallaries as well as Estuary Arts Centre.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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?
