31 March- 26 April 2026 | Whakaaturanga Gallery

Exhibition Opening Event:  Wednesday 1 April 5 - 7pm

Three talented Rotorua artists - Cathy Ward, Toni Armstrong and George Andrews - present distinct yet connected approaches to intimate subject matter, exploring closeness, perspective and emotional presence. Through painting, drawing, and sculpture, the exhibition brings together floral portraiture, human portrait studies, expressive head works, and sculptural forms in clay, bronze, and ceramics.  Each artist offers a personal interpretation of form - from delicate botanical narratives to deeply observed figurative works - inviting viewers into moments of quiet connection and reflection.
