Two of my works were displayed at the 2010 Original Art Sale Show last weekend held at the TelestraClear Pacific Centre. Both were fairy small canvas works titled "Alice and Rabbit" and "Snow white".

2010 Original Art Sale Show is one of the biggest art sale shows in NZ, held across three days. You have to be chosen by the show producers to get a spot to display your works and get the chance to sell your art to the public. This year there were over 1,400 artworks on sale!
I just got a call from  the producer saying that both my works were sold!
YAY!!!
Whoever bought my paintings, THANK YOU! I'm sure my babies are happy at their new homes!
Hopefully next year I will be chosen again to take part in the sale show. And next time I will manage my time better so that I can do much bigger paintings!

Birthday Present

My friend asked me to paint something for her younger sister. Since the little sister really likes Japanese culture I incorporated some Japanese themes, geisha, koi carp, lanterns and "Amy" (girl's name) written in Japanese. I did a small triptych of block canvases so it will be easier for Amy to take it back home (she is visiting NZ from overseas) and then she can have fun arranging the paintings herself. You can hang them on walls or place them on a surface. Hope the sister liked it!!!!

Friend's wedding :)

Couple of months ago was the wedding of one of my closest friends. We went to uni together and now she is an art teacher at a College in Auckland. I also work there part time as an art technician.

I did an acrylic on canvas painting for their wedding present. I also designed their wedding invites. I based the design on their relationship- the husband is in the navy and spends a long time away from home. She is always waiting for him with their pet cat. I incorporated some maori patterns in the waves and the details of the sailing ship to give it some kiwiana touch.

They liked it very much :)
