2000
Joined a Collective Art Exhibition for St Kilda Sacred Heart Mission Group in Melbourne. Volunteered there for a year on Mondays helping out at art classes. We had an art exhibition at Mary Mackillop Centre.
There are two large paintings, (one I have as a tatau on my body & one of a large tree, in a sunset) that are somewhere floating around Melbourne. As I left them in the Mission House, art room. Often wondered where they ended up.
2002 & 2005
OMAC & Med Sch
Before there was Fresh Art Gallery, there was the OMAC hall. After returning from Australia in 2001, had an exhibition here. It was so cool to see everyone. Grateful to all who showed up.
In 2005 put two paintings in for a fundraiser at med sch and they made one of them the staff Christmas card with another artist.
2012
Between 2011 and 2013 I lived at Whangarei Heads, Northland before moving to Karitane, Otago for 2014-2016. Took part in the 1st ever Whangarei Heads Art Trail. Magic place.
2020
Estuary Arts Gallery.
In Orewa. Home of the Don. I know. Mortified. lol
Asked me to put some art in their cafe. It was pretty low key cafe. Nice. Enjoyed this.
Before leaving for Rarotonga, I lived out at Awhitu Pennisula for 2 months and Pollicks Art Studio sold some art.
2021
Rarotonga
Was part of 2 exhibitions here. One was a gate crash lol That ended up in the paper, which I didn't know was going to happen. Maybe Io did as I am not a PR person lol
The second one, I couldn't do any paintings until 5 days before. And I didn't end up at the opening night as I had a motorbike accident and was in hospital for a week. Some times Io intervenes when necessary I think.
