Diverse themes covered by Coast painters

Around 135 paintings by members of Hibiscus Coast Artists will be displayed at Coast Plaza from October 22 to 29.

The annual exhibition will feature a range of work in oils, acrylics, pastels and water colours.

Hibiscus Artists is one of the most established art groups in Rodney and will celebrate its 50th anniversary next year.

President Sue Anderton says the group provides a supportive environment for members, whether they are beginners or more experienced artists.

“We critique each other’s work, offer encouragement, hold monthly competitions with outside judges, and run occasional workshops with expert teachers,” she says. “We also go to art shows, gardens of interest and galleries.”

The group meets on Monday mornings in the Stanmore Bay Community Hall. New members are always welcome.
