Artists and crafters are putting on a festive exhibition at Carlton Gallery.
The artists are from across Western Bay of Plenty and exhibit soft toys, knitted garments and cushions, quilts and artwork such as pop art, nature artwork and watercolour for sale.
Abi Tubbs, from Waihi Beach, says she’s surrounded by children all day and becoming a mum was a huge inspiration for her paintings. Creating art that encourages children to learn from or talk about, is her main motivator.
Karyn Lougher, Tauranga, explores colour and movement with acrylic pouring and resin. Her work is inspired by nature, creation and her faith.
