‘Art is to life as sunshine is to a garden’ (unknown)
We believe that enjoyment of art comes in two forms - first in its creation, and second in its appreciation. Art is shown to buy, and also to inspire students and other artists in their own work.
We both have bright new art, both expressive and recognisably realistic, and colourful abstracts which may be seen in many interpretations, posted in our galleries, including that shown in our Conceal-Reveal exhibition which has finished now.
You can find what we have been doing on our blog www.art2enjoy.blogspot.com

Both Mags and Angela tutor art activities, and offer both private and group courses in a variety of media to share the creativity fun. Angela is a feltmaker, and has refocussed on this area both for tutoring and making exhibition work, as the 10th Southern Hemisphere Feltmakers' Convergence was in New Zealand this year, and she went to this for the first time, after over 20 years of making felt. Mags continues to guide and inspire a number of new artists exploring paint and mixed media. The beginning of the year was full for both of us with tutoring and taking our work to Invercargill for the Conceal Reveal exhibition. The winter made working in cool studios less appealing, but we continued anyway! Now spring is here and it is welcome.
