Invisible Movement

Hi,

A good collection of my paintings are currently up at Strawberry Fare in the heart of Wellington. It's a dessert restaurant. That means, as well as the usual food, it has the best cheesecake possible! Trust me, I've tried it.

Check out a feature I had on the largest unofficial John Frusciante website, Invisible Movement: http://www.invisible-movement.net/2009/10/six-paintings-by-lorraine-tyler. The John and Flea painting in particular seems to take on a different feel, now that John's left the band (amicably, I must note).

My next major exhibition is coming up at The Southern Cross, a restaurant with a specialized gallery space in Wellington. It'll run from the beginning of April to the end of May. Doug Sehnert, another Wellington artist, will be showing his art too. It'll be a fun-filled, bold display. And don't forget the mouthwatering texture. ;)

Now that I have a few specialized paintings temporarily not on display, I've decided to put them on trademe.co.nz (New Zealand's home for online auctions and classifieds). Interested in rugby or rock'n'roll? Go and take a look!

Opening Night

Opening Night went very well. People had a good time both up in the function room and looking around at the paintings in the other rooms. There was a real "buzz" in the air. I'd just like to say thank you to all those who showed up in support of my artwork. Since opening night, I've been my task-oriented self, trying to think up ideas for the next big exhibition; I'm thinking of something with 3-D and 2-D, within an installation, based around a central theme. The mind boggles, in a good way.

The Set-up

Hi,

Today my housemate Kathy helped me set up my "Colourful Personalities" Exhibition at Parade Cafe. It took two hours, but we were really happy with the result. Each of the three rooms I exhibit in has a sense of balance and I'd like to think those paintings are quite eye-catching for the customers there. The opening night celebrations, tomorrow at 5:30, will be very exciting indeed. It looks like there will be a good turn-out. Everyone will have fun, and enjoy the drinks and nibbles. Look for me tomorrow night; I'll be the one in the black dress with the fur wrap ;)

Show at Parade Cafe

This week the art director at the Parade Cafe on Oriental Parade and I have confirmed that I will have a show there. The show will go from Monday, October 12th to Monday, December 7th and my paintings will be throughout the cafe. That's three rooms; so excited!

Not too tough

Hello, I think I might actually be happy with my blog for now. Time to go and have something to eat. Computers have the amazing power of making you skip your lunch.

Introduction

Hello, I'm Lorraine Tyler, an artist in Wellington, New Zealand. Today, I'm setting up this blog. Time to figure out all the nuts and bolts of it.
