Small is beautiful - interesting, colourful, joyous and fabulous. This offering of over 100 artworks by leading New Zealand and overseas artists is currently on view in our gallery window. A small painting is the most meaningful of gifts, to family, friends and oneself.

It's a great time in the gallery as works begin to arrive from our invited artists for our annual Les Femmes Exhibition.

Flowers intoxicate, they can break your heart. They are often mediators between lovers, the bereaved, the attendant and each joyous celebrant. Flowers are heart offerings - Gabryel Harrison

A silver lining to recent global events has been the gift of time. As the pace of life slowed, many of us found ourselves looking anew at the art upon our walls. With travel plans on hold, we were reminded of the visual value of art. A painting has the power to transport the viewer, elevate the spirits and give us pause for reflection. A painting can make us happy, and that in itself is no simple thing.

What a delight to have the gallery hung with the divine works of Gabryel Harrison. Here we see a collection of paintings by an artist who excels in channelling beauty. This gift, anchored by a formal arts training, complemented by skills honed and polished in the international arena of the art world, are the alchemy of this memorable exhibition. In an age where graphic imagery assaults, what a welcome change to be embraced by a worthy work of art. Here we see a collection of paintings worthy of contemplation, worthy of admiration, worthy of acquisition.

Our Winter Salon unfolds as a rich tapestry of talent and colour. Against nature's backdrop of grey skies this outstanding collection is guaranteed to brighten the outlook and lift the spirits. Art inspires, and never-more-so than this year's Winter Salon. We invite you to view and enjoy over 85 exclusive new works from leading professional artists, both here and abroad.

Our first exhibition of 2017 is a stella event in every sense of the word. Leading professional artists from Australasia and Europe embrace this opportunity to showcase their very best works. An exhibition of over 85 paintings with a benchmark of talent, diversity and quality.

A practicing Buddist, Harrison believes it is the responsibility of the artist to awake awareness. Her paintings invite the viewer to slow down and perceive art as an object of contemplation or evidence of wonder.

Floral abundance has long been a theme beloved by artists. Ancient civilizations used floral motifs as adornment. Floral symbolism played an important part in early religious art, whilst by the 1400's Northern European artists were refining the genre of still life painting. Today, works by Patricia Payne and Marietta embody these historical artistic traditions.
