A creative month with Helen McLorinan brought 7 painting workshops this May.

It was such a hive of activity, creativeness and achievements for all that participated. There was so much interest with each one fully booked.

It is with huge thanks to the generous funding from Aotea/Barrier Local board. 

During my term on island I also got to hang out with some of the schools helping with their creative projects, volunteering at the gallery, community garden and even taking the plunge with all the other brave polars.

I hope your artwork brightens up your homes and you are inspired to explore more with paint and texture. I am always happy to talk art please reach out if you ever have any questions.

Thanks for having me Barrier. I will be back next year.
