Current Exhibition by Esther Rose: Of Life and Light
Mixed media Artist Esther Rose relocated to Whanganui from Wellington. She has
been a working artist for over twenty years, studying and teaching art groups
and privately, as well as teaching to community schools.
“ I have found inspiration for my work through local cultures as well as ancient
traditions such as Judaica, Celtic and Inca. I work across several mediums
including leather, fabric design and abstract collage.
My art often explores symbology, language, religion and customs. I have
destination in mind when creating, and I like to leave markers to guide perception”
