Featuring artists Joan Fear, Tanya Finlayson, Santie English, Airdrie Hamilton, Rachel Olsen, Anne Garvey, Carolyn Johns, Ciane Lawrey, Laura Littlejohn & Amber Bold.
 
Proud of its rural pedigree Inspirit Gallery presents ‘Grass Roots’ a stirring exhibition exploring the backbone of New Zealand, country life.

Timed to coincide with the National Fieldays at Mystery Creek Hamilton, ‘Grass Roots’ is a reverent expression of the importance the rural community and lifestyle has in our country and to our artists.

Discover a unique perspective on all things rural in this diverse collection of multi-media art from leading local and national artists.

Shearer’s singlets from the woolshed are transformed into glamorous dresses by textile artist Anne Garvey of Te Kuiti, a country childhood is relived in Tanya Finlayson’s hand carved & hand painted linoleum works, paper artist Carol Johns’ mixed media works feature roosters and other farm animals. Rural landscapes are spotlighted in paintings by Joan Fear, Santie English, Rachel Olsen and Airdrie Hamilton. Also featured are beautifully handcrafted country quilts by Laura Littlejohn and re-loved vintage country designs by Amber Bold.
