Local Artist doing very well
Local Artist Diane Connal better known for her beautiful customised jewellery pieces has recently taken her creative talent to brush and canvas.
Diane Connal, Acrylic on canvas i Pad Interrupted
Her Artwork ‘Ipad interuppted’ was accepted for the Adam Portrait Awards and to her surprise it was accepted. Although she didn’t win the award, Diane felt very gratified to see her painting hanging with such a great group of artists in The Portrait Gallery in Wellington.
Her portrait was of a friend, sitting in his lounge on his laptop.
The painting was selected to tour with a show that takes 70% of the works in the Awards exhibition around the country. The tour ends this month in The South Island and Diane’s painting will then be returned.
Well done Diane.

This year’s Kapiti Arts Trail will include 110 destinations for visitors to experience the creative process live.
Applications for the Council-run Trail closed this week and artists have the next five months to get ready for the two-weekend Spring event due to run in the first two weekends of November. The Trail sees artists open their studio and gallery doors and demonstrate their art-making in action.
Twenty of the studios, galleries and group exhibitions that have signed up will be taking part in the Trail for the first time. The annual Kapiti Arts Guide and guide to the sites open during the Trail is due out by August.
