Award Winner Jane Walsh stages Solo Exhibition
Winner of the Emerging Artist Award at the Hibiscus and Bays Art Awards 2018
12 March to 07 April 2019 "Summer Play"
Jane Walsh is originally from Wellington but has called Auckland’s North Shore home for the last 30 years. She can be found at the beach most mornings walking her badly behaved golden retriever. She is a former commercial lawyer who these days prefers exploring her creative side. She paints predominantly with acrylics and started painting abstracts as an antidote to an A type personality! While she is drawn to bold colour and contrast, she enjoys using swathes of neutral colour to slow down the movement in her paintings
I love our kiwi summers. To me it means the beach and the water. Because New Zealand's light is so uniquely bright, the blues always appear bluer at this time of year, the greens greener. Against the backdrop of our brilliant blue skies, I've tried to capture the essence of kiwi kids at play over summer - in, around and over the water! The paintings are based on images taken with my camera as I trailed my long suffering kids and their friends. At the same time, I've been enjoying exploring more abstract painting, which allows me to be freer with my brushstrokes, while still embracing light and brightness in my choice of bold colours and application.
I hope you enjoy these two interpretations of summer play.

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?
