Hi everyone


As you all know I am the artist on the corner of Mackenzie and Hopkins in gallery@109. I currently have a big show of 50 works titled 'Somme/Silk Road' on exhibition at the QEII National Army Museum in Waiouru. I have created a further suite of works using the same inspiration (the silk cards made during WW1 in France and Belgium) which I have titled 'We'll be home by Christmas'. I have turned two of those cards into printed Christmas cards (see images below) and am selling packs of 10 (5 of each, although I can make up packs of only one image should you like) of these from the studio and from Aum Dairy on Hopkins Street.


So for $15 (GST incl) a pack you get 10 Christmas cards and envelopes. All in time for your Christmas mail out.


Created here in Woolston/Roimata, please support your community and your local artist.


You can email me through here or txt me on 027 2748158 to reserve some for later pick up.


Cheers
