Y-Art Open Studio - Watercolours by Therese
A wonderful, rare opportunity!
I am a local watercolour artist who is passionate about New Zealand birds and landscapes. I paint in my studio at home, which is located at the end of a picturesque cottage garden path. Our garden currently has about 60 dahlias out in flower.
From Sat 20 to Sun 28 January 2024, I am opening my art studio to the public. A small gallery is set up in my studio to display some of the work that I do.
You are most welcome to come along and see some of my work, and find out what has inspired me to paint. Flags will be at the entrance, so just follow the signs to my studio at the end of the garden.
Apart from the paintings, I also create craft pendants and earrings which are also for sale. Eftpos is available and parking is on the street.
Note: More of my artwork is also on display in the Liffey Gallery (Lincoln) from Wed 24 January to Sunday 18 February 2024.
My studio is open to the public:- Sat 20 to Sun 28 January 2024, 10 am – 3 pm.
Location: - 60 Greers Road (close to Memorial Ave), Burnside, Christchurch.

Poll: What could the Christchurch City Council fund if it didn't have to pay GST on rates?
Christchurch mayor Phil Mauger says GST on rates, currently taken by central government, would be better spent locally.
The comments follow an Infometrics analysis that found over $1.1 billion of rates revenue nationwide was collected by the Government in 2022 as GST.
According to Infometrics, $88.5m of that came from Christchurch city ratepayers. It would be enough to save the Christ Church Cathedral from ruin; restore the Dux de Lux seven times over; cover both the Art Centre and Orana Wildlife Park’s request for regular public funding for over 26 years; contribute to light rail in Greater Christchurch; or get the South Library rebuild completed.

Poll: Would you want an unconventional funeral?
Funerals can cost as much as $22,000 and the planning can be stressful especially at a time when loved ones are grieving. Some New Zealanders are re-imagining funerals by making their own coffin or having a relaxed ceremony at home. Would you want a less traditional funeral? Share your thoughts below.
