This blog is where you will find information about my work, things that interest me, and things I think you might interest you . . . it's a way to get to know me and my work! I welcome feedback so feel free to get in touch if you have any comments or questions - or to enquire about any work you see on my website.

Aspiring Art Award 2020

The Craig’s Aspiring Art Prize 2020 opens tonight (Friday 10th of January) in Wanaka, and I’ve had a painting accepted into the exhibition. It hasn’t been shown before (that’s one of the rules of entry) but here is a picture of it - it’s called Drainhole.

I figured this was a great way to get my work seen in the South Island - this is the first time I’ve exhibited in the South Island, so hopefully it will help introduce my work to a new audience. Plus, all sales benefit the Holy Family School in Wanaka.

The catalogue goes online Friday night (here) and it will be interesting to see all the other paintings. I have a feeling mine might be somewhat different in style to the majority of the work, from what I’ve seen of previous years - I’m unsure whether that will be a good thing or a bad thing - it could go either way!

So - if you happen to be in Wanaka over the next few days, here are the exhibition details:
