This exhibition will be on display in-person in the Watkins Gallery, as well as online. Participating artists are Amanda Chapman-Vruno, Megan Cichosz, Kiri Sannerud, and Megan Surface.
The virtual gallery can be viewed at educate.winona.edu/watkinsgallery.
Atkins Gallery reopened at Founders in October 2020, after a two-year break. The specialist gallery deals exclusively with Toss Wollaston watercolours and drawings of the Nelson/Tasman region, alongside artwork by a small selection of local artists including quality jewellery and ceramics. Woollaston’s works currently on display include watercolours of Tasman Bay, Mt Campbell , Mt Arthur, Lyttleton Harbour and Horoirangi. Also included are drawings, with an early sketch from Māpua and an early portrait of the famous local identity Eelco Boswijk. Gallery owner Linda Atkins said she was fortunate to have the chance to exhibit Woollaston’s artworks – one of a select few around the country to do so.
