It’s hard to believe that Manawatū Art Expo begins tomorrow!
From July 15 to 17, a $5 entry ticket unlocks the possibilities of seeing and experiencing great New Zealand art. You’ll also be able to get up close and personal with the artists behind the work, with talks and demos taking place throughout Expo weekend.

One of the artists you’ll get to meet is not only the subject of our final Artist A Day post, but our 2022 Guest Artist: Vonnie Sterritt.

Though born in Otago, it’s difficult not to claim Vonnie as a Palmerston North icon. As a landscape painter, scenes of the Manawatū feature heavily in Vonnie’s oeuvre. She explains that “growing up within the surrounds of the Clutha and now the Manawatū rivers mean water described gorges and plains are so much a part of who I am […] I am convinced there is a connection between painter and landscape that is emotionally intimate. My particular connection is the Manawatu river and the way old macrocarpa and Nikau punctuate this regions' landscape.”

Vonnie works from her studio right here in Palmerston North, but her work appears in collections around the world. She has exhibited as far afield as Canada in the United States, and she’s been showing her work at Manawatū Art Expo since its inception in 2007.

As our 2022 Guest Artist, Vonnie hopes to “wow” visitors. She will be doing this not only by exhibiting her work, but also holding talks and live painting sessions.

You can learn more about Vonnie’s work at www.artsterritt.co.nz... but nothing can compare to meeting Vonnie and experiencing her work in-person!

You’ll find Vonnie right by the entrance to Manawatū Art Expo – Palmerston North Conference and Function Centre – July 15 to 17 – Open from 9am to 4.30pm each day – Entry is $5 with under 14s free

On July 21, Auckland-based artist Sam Hickson unveils Mechanical Art: an exhibition of new works inspired by the machinery many of us take for granted.

Mechanical Art explores the idea that mechanical objects are integral fixtures in our lives, but that we don’t often realise our dependence on them until they break down. Using his background as a portrait artist, Sam lends a sense of humanity and dynamism to his inanimate subjects, encouraging us to consider the relationship between human and machine.

Sam Hickson is an oil painter from Auckland with a diploma in fine arts from Whitecliffe College of Arts and Design. He works as a volunteer at Upstairs Gallery in Lopdell Precinct arts centre, Titirangi where his paintings have also been exhibited in group and solo shows.

In lieu of a formal opening event, Sam will be holding a ‘meet and greet’ at Feilding Art Centre on Thursday July 21 between 10am and 4pm. Come down and meet the artist behind these fantastic works before he heads back to Auckland!
