A Rural Perspective - an exhibition by Manawatu artist Graham Christensen.
On now until the 30th of March at the Feilding Art Centre, 104 Manchester St, Feilding.
Open weekdays: 10am - 4pm, Saturdays: 10am - 1pm. Free entry.
Graham Christensen has lived much of his life on and around farms within the Manawatu/Rangitikei region. His father, grandfather and great grandfather were all farmers and from a young age Graham worked on shearing gangs and hay trucks before studying agriculture and going on to spend a lifetime within the sector. Now retired, Graham lives on a farm near Ashhurst and paints from a large light-filled studio – fittingly, a converted room at the back of the barn.
In this exhibition Graham takes his lived experience and captures moments in time that many of us will know and love from our own memories of rural New Zealand.
Graham regularly exhibits throughout the Manawatu/Rangitikei region and opens his private studio annually for the Art Trail Manawatu. He is frequently commissioned to paint pieces of sentimental value to celebrate anniversaries, special birthdays and retirement. His work is hung in homes, businesses and private collections throughout New Zealand and internationally.

Poll: Is it rude to talk on the phone on a bus?
Buses can be a relaxing way to get home if you have a seat and enough space. However, it can be off-putting when someone is taking a phone call next to you.
