Noble People Treasured Land
Anderson Park Home and art Gallery - Invercargill 2006
After winning a prize at the 2004 ILT (Invercargill Licensing Trust) Art Awards show for “Keeper of the Roses”, I accepted an invitation to exhibit a series of paintings at Anderson Park Art Gallery to celebrate 150 Years of Southland in 2006.
Fresh to the province, I was concerned I didn’t know Southland well enough for the commission. It would seem, looking back twenty years on, the fresh eyes I brought to my new home land helped record a series of iconic moments of time, many of which are no longer with us.
