Art @ the Library
Westland Arts Incorporated and Westland District Library are collaborating to make a free exhibition space available.
Art @ the Library is a small, nimble and flexible project that aims to provide exhibition space for artistic and innovative proposals.
Current Exhibit: Vern Abbott
Artist Statement:
I am an ordinary ‘kiwi ‘bloke who likes to dabble with a paintbrush. Painting has always been an important part of my life.
In my time at school, there was no such thing as art as a subject, so I had no formal training until I attended several workshops by Brent Trolle in the 1980s.
Initially, I painted with oil paints but after these workshops, I found acrylics more to my liking.
My landscape paintings are often taken from photographs or calendar pictures with a little artistic licence applied.
I have a small studio at home where I enjoy working and creating my paintings.
Painting gives me great pleasure and I hope you too get pleasure from viewing my work.
All my work is for sale.
Please enquire at the library reception desk for my contact details.
