Lovers by Suzanne Williams will be among the paintings at the Kawau Bay Artists’ Easter exhibition.
Kawau Bay Artists have high hopes of a successful Easter exhibition following the cancellation of last year’s exhibition due to the Covid lockdown.
The group of four – Lillian Fromont, Jenny Arnerich, Colleen Kangwai and Suzanne Williams – have been painting and exhibiting together for several years.
Each year, they invite a guest artist to join them for their Easter exhibition. This year’s guest is painter Glenda Hopkins, from Scotts Landing. Glenda was successful in the recent Snells Beach Great Summer Art Exhibition and Harbour Hospice’s mARTakana exhibition, where she sold three paintings, which each fetched more than $1000.
Meanwhile, Lillian Fromont won the Viewer’s Choice award at the Great Summer Art Exhibition with a painting of native bush. She will be exhibiting a selection of her New Zealand native birds and local landscapes at the Easter exhibition.
As well as around 150 paintings, there will be hand-made books, cards, glass art and photography books by the artists.
The exhibition opens at the Warkworth Masonic Hall in Baxter Street on Thursday, April 1. It continues on Saturday, April 3 and Sunday, April 4, from 10am to 3pm. Entry is free, and all are welcome.
