Dianna Peel Exhibition
4th February - 4th March
I could not think of a more fitting exhibition while we are at our temporary location the Helensville Museum than artist Diana Peel. Have you seen the gardens at the museum! Simply scrumptious.
Diana Peel’s paintings are an extension of these gardens in a vivaciously textural style, preserving the beauty of these natural subjects on canvas.
This exhibition will be a great opportunity to view Diana’s works if you are interested in attending any of her upcoming workshops at Art Centre Helensville.
