Spring was a fitting season for a stunning show of botanical paintings entitled the ‘A Year’s Bloom’ to be launched. The exhibition opened at Next Door Gallery in late October and featured 12 beautiful botanical artworks created by accomplished Auckland artist Holly Roach. The show celebrated the collaboration between Holly and Pauanesia for their 2018 Calendar.  Inspired by the stunning blooms (often quite small) that our native New Zealand trees produce, Holly painted them in graphic yet painterly style. The calendar is on sale now at Next Door Gallery, Hinemoa Street in Birkenhead Point.
