Kia ora koutou,
it seems it has been ages since my last newsletter and yes its been 6 month... time flies.
It has been a time of gratitude. I am grateful for learning new skills, seeing new places, meeting new people, and grateful for having had people in my life that have now gone to the other side. All of those mentioned above influencing my work and help pushing it towards.
Enjoy my newsletter!

Ākina - a new contemporary art gallery in Hastings/Heretaunga
This new gallery has just opened about 6 weeks ago in the new Municipal Building right in the center of Heretaunga. It runs exhibitions and other events with a focus on kaupapa Māori. And I am thrilled to have some of my work featured in their retail space. Make sure you put this gallery on your to do list when visiting Hawkes Bay. Its a local business by tangata whenua supporting local (and national) artists.

Kāpiti Arts Trail
The dates for the 2022 Kāpiti Arts Trail are 5/6 and 12/13 of November. While this is a great opportunity to visit my studio, see my (clean) workspace, buy art or just have a chat, you can, if you are in the area outside those times, make an appointment and come for a visit to a work in progress studio.
Contact me via my website or birgitmoffatt@gmail.com for arrangements.
