Painting has been a fascination for most of John's life, he enjoys depicting skies and water, and everything in between. John's paintings tend to have landscape or transport themes. 'I love the ever changing light on the landscape, that transforms the ordinary into the extraordinary, and try to capture this in all my works.’

SCULPTURE | POTTERY | WATERCOLOUR
Maren joined the Marton Arts and Crafts Centre in 2018 to learn pottery and found a love for sculpture especially creating hares and rabbits, functional pottery and exploring our local clay and glazing materials. In 2022 she joined a class to learn watercolour painting and fell in love with that as well. Her inspiration comes from painting hares, her rabbits and years of tramping New Zealand’s beautiful landscapes.

WATERCOLOUR | PASTEL | INK
It was a bit of a dream come true for Anne when after returning from twenty years working overseas in 2018 she found herself able to spend some time developing her artistic skills. At the moment Anne is particularly enjoying using watercolour in still-life painting and using soft pastel in portraiture. 'Capturing the magic of a moment or a scene that evokes a response at an emotional level is probably what I'm aiming for most in my work.' Anne is a tutor at the Marton Arts and Crafts Centre.

She wants to express mood and emotion with her paintings, and hopes that her work might also evoke the viewer’s own experience and memories.
