13 Inspiring Artists
Studios open 10am to 3pm
1. Kirsten McIntosh
6 Williams Street, Cambridge
With every painting that Kirsten does, she looks for a challenge and finds such opportunities in reflections, in clouds, with flowers, roadside grasses and a late afternoon sun.
She works with a limited colour palette especially with the New Zealand landscape.
2. Photography: Cambridge Museum collection
At Arnold House, Te Awa Lifecare,
1866 Cambridge Road, Cambridge
“Capturing Cambridge” features photographs by Reg Buckingham from the 1960s and 1980s. They are a series of encounters that reveal the interests, passions, and experiences that recur and connect people across time. Can you spot a familiar face?

10. Faith Thomas
35 Campbell Street, Leamington
Originally from Auckland I completed my Bachelor of Fine Arts with a Printmaking major in 1982 from Elam School of Fine Arts, Auckland University.
Now living in Cambridge I have exhibited throughout New Zealand for over 40 years and have contributed to exhibitions in Russia, Portugal, Australia, England, Japan, Germany and America. I am a longstanding member of the Print Council of Aotearoa New Zealand and a strong advocate for young and emerging Printmakers.
Although I generally work with the intaglio techniques of etching and mezzotint my recent works explore the juxtaposition of lino images and Harakeke paper made from native New Zealand flax plants.
