Celebrating Waitangi Day today makes me think of a dream I’ve dreamt for a very long time… to have a solo exhibition.
Last month I sold all four of my Waitangi paintings to a whanau living in Taupo. I’m so pleased they are going to staying together. The paintings that sold pictured below - Pātiki Matariki | Waitangi, Porourangi | Waitangi, Patiki | Waitangi and Pou Tangata | Waitangi… I think it’s a sign to paint them all.
I’ve painted 5 tukutuku panels in total, and as I’ve said in previously in my blog that I want to paint all the tukutuku panels in the Waitangi Wahrenui. I think this would be great platform for my first solo exhibition, hoping to to coincide with Waitangi Day next year, I feel would be a perfect time to exhibit.
I want to go to Waitangi Treaty Grounds in Paihia and research the tukutuku up close. I’ll paint all 18 Waitangi tukutuku panels bigger and in different colours. I’m going to try and make it happen
