Exhibitions

Peaceful by Nature

A solo exhibition by Toni Kingstone

Mainly working in acrylics and charcoal, Toni creates peaceful artworks that combine nature’s elements, often giving the painting a secondary element. A recent study of abstract pieces in mixed media further explore wildlife and the themes of geology and the cosmos.

All artwork in the exhibition will be for sale and the commission from any sales will go to the Achieving Change for Children Charitable Trust (ACCCT) administered by the Welcome Swallow Gallery.

9 March – 30 April
Welcome Swallow Gallery, 378 Grey Street, Hamilton East

Opening Event: 5:30pm – 7:30pm Friday 9 March – all welcome

Janet Scott

Wildlife photographer, traveller, and nature-lover.

A passion for photography was stirred some years ago with tutoring support from Trevor Penfold, a professional wildlife photographer. This resulted in me falling in love with photographing wildlife. I am particularly drawn to birds and the delicate beauty of each and every one I photograph. Click here to find out more about Janet.

Ross Thornton Jones

"I’m obsessed with moving paint around. I find it easy to get lost in the thickness and colour of the paint. I find it hypnotic. When I started out I had no idea what I would be painting, shapes and strong colours maybe, but what actually started to come out was a little deeper I guess." Click here to find out more about Ross.
