At Jean Marr Studio
296a the Parade, Island Bay, Wellington, NZ
Here's my first themed one-artist exhibition at Jean Marr Studio. The title refers to those
favourite places to paint that hold a special place in my heart. I have drawn together
my own home town of Wellington, the dramatic mountain scenery of the southern
lakes around Lake Wakatipu and Lake Wanaka and from there made a link to
Lake Como in Northern Italy where I was lucky enough to visit in 2018.
Paradise is actually the name
of an amazing part of the world here in New Zealand. Just past Glenorchy, at the head of
Lake Wakatipu is this great combination of mountain, river and forest. I had first visited
there on a memorable family holiday in my teens and was stunned to discover the exact same
spot where my family had stopped for lunch on the way to walk up the Rees Valley. Unlike many parts
of the Queenstown area it hadn't changed a bit!
From September 16th through to October 15th 2020
