Countdown to Manawatu Art Expo
Just 5 days until Manawatū Art Expo opens at Palmerston North Conference and Function Centre! We cannot wait to showcase more than 300 pieces of excellent, original New Zealand artwork by our 99 exhibiting artists.
As we count down to Manawatū Art Expo, we’re putting the spotlight on an Artist A Day. For today’s feature, we’re focusing on the work of Graham Christensen – an artist who lives on a farm just outside Palmerston North, where a converted room at the back of a barn serves as his studio.
Graham did not pick up a paintbrush until his early 60’s, but he quickly showed a natural talent with oils and a great affinity with the rural landscape. It is this affinity which Graham depicts in his paintings. Each work communicates a life-long love of farming and the rugged landscape that New Zealand offers. Graham’s latest works are a reminiscence of rural life and moments in time that make up the rich tapestry of our farming communities and their significant place in our country’s history.
If you’d like to know more about Graham’s work, be sure to visit www.grahamchristensen.co.nz... and come down to Manawatū Art Expo, where Graham will be holding demos throughout the weekend!
Entry to Manawatū Art Expo is only $5 and under 14s enter for free. It’s a great opportunity to experience excellent, original artwork from around the country, and meet local artists like Graham.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
