Maori Art Exhibition at Manly Library, NSW.





Thanks to Julie O'Grady and all the organisers in Manly, we have a Maori Art Exhibition at the Manly Library currently showing until next Tuesday.  The opening was wonderful, with a performance by the local hapu and the artworks an amazing array of carving, painting, drawing and other media.
Thanks to Julie, I had the opportunity to exhibit my lastest works, based on the Pitau a Manaia pattern.  I enjoyed the process immensely, using the design in various ways.  I painted a huge design (about 180cm by 120cm) on canvas, and cut it away from the frame to form various smaller pieces!
Here are the Pitau a Manaia  pieces showing at the exhibition.
