This Winter Art Exhibition at The Kitchen come in and see the wonderfully diverse lineup of modern art, textile design, and heartfelt tributes.

​
​Jenny Gray: Tactile French knotwork on silk that mimics natural elements like sticks and stones.
​"My name is Jenny Gray. I'm not a painter. I'm not a sculptor. I'm a knotter, not a nutter."

​Ariana Andrews: Striking digital illustrations exploring deep themes, including Compassionate Chaos and Gentle Decay (a digital print of a wild sheep skull found on a South Island hike).

​Annalise Hill: Emerging young artist playfully capturing everyday emotion through rapid sketches, naive techniques, and her love for textile art and clothing design.

​Plus, take a moment to admire two beautiful sculptural pieces featured on the bar. A special tribute to Craig Harford, an integral member of the Winter Art Exhibition in its formative years.
