Exhibitions, Articles, Auctions and Opportunities

by Chavah Kinloch on July 23, 2010

It’s been quiet around here this week. My husband has been on holiday and my in-laws were in town so I’ve been off having family time. I had planned on having posts all ready for the blog so no one got lonely but alas, my capabilities didn’t quite stretch as far as my mind this time.

So here’s what’s new:

The NZ Art Guild Collaborative Project is now up for auction!! Please take a look at the auction here. Remember, all proceeds are donated to The Mental Health Foundation of NZ.

If you missed the article in Viva, (I got the dates wrong!) go here and you can read Karley Feaver’s favourite things. Go Karley :D I love my Canon too!

My solo show is still on at Invercargill airport’s Koru Lounge. I think I’ve forgotten what my paintings look like lol.

Yesterday I received an invitation to take part in Dunkley’s Great NZ Craft Show. This event is huge but the price tag to be a stall holder is just as big. I think I will have to give it a miss this year but will look into it next year. I know pretty much everyone in my region attends ours.


I’m currently working on a new painting for a fundraiser. Still a long way to go but I can’t wait to do the next step! Pic below:


My daughter had artwork selected to be exhibited at the Polyfest they’re having for the region. I forgot because she told me the news months ago but a friend mentioned today that she took photo’s of the artwork for a slideshow for the museum. So happy for my daughter :D

Thank you to Wanderlust for including me in the Blog Carnival and Renee for the hand drawn Lovely Blog Award.

Also, this one’s a biggie, I can’t believe I haven’t mentioned it already! Creating My Reality is one of five finalists in The AusMumpreneur Awards – Best Blog 2010 category. The awards ceremony is being held in Brisbane on July 31 during a conference for Mumpreneurs. I really wish I could be there to attend the kick-a$$ conference and celebrate with all my fellow Mum’s (and Dad’s)!

One more thank you, this time to Cadbury NZ for taking the time to comment on my blog post about the Chocolate Carnival! Don’t know how you found me but it was cool to see your comment. I’ll pop by your FB Page and share some photo’s. We seriously had so much fun last week.

And last but not least, Boston turned ONE on Monday. He got to celebrate with his Gran and Papa in town. Very cool :D I still can’t believe it’s been a year. So much has happened. He’s huge now, bigger than most kids his age but that’s no surprise right? LOL. When he was born we were told he’d either lose a lot of weight and become a regular sized kid or he’d just grow up to be a giant. We’re on the giant path it seems. He’s clingy and a massive screamer but I still love him to bits. You can’t beat his cheeky grin! Melts my heart every time I see it. I can’t wait to see him grow even more.

Oh yeah, look what I bought myself today. LOVE. Might wear them to the ILT Art Awards tomorrow night.

“Interviews With Escapists”

by Chavah Kinloch on June 30, 2010

Doesn’t this title just grab you? It sounds intriguing doesn’t it? To me it does anyway.

This is the title of upcoming solo exhibition by Karley Feaver. Remember Karley? I mentioned her last week in this post, she was kind enough to send me gorgeous fabric to use in my projects.

Through a series of interviews Karley has explored peoples personal experiences and opinions on escapism.

It all began 3 years ago when Karley found herself going through a tough time; unhappy she recognised she was practicing her own form of escapism through her thoughts.

With each participant being asked the same 12 questions; Karley has taken their responses and translated them into bold abstract art works with each painting telling a story set to evoke emotions through imagery and colour.

Told you it sounds intriguing.

Karley has published the interviews on her blog and believe me, they make for great reading. A book containing the interviews is also available.

You are invited to view the exhibition Interview With Escapists which will be held at The Depot Artspace in Devonport, Auckland from July 10th-22nd 2010. Karley will be holding an artist talk for all on Wednesday 14th July at 6:30pm. Until then, catch her in the top 10 column in today’s Viva I believe!

Borrowing a question from Karley (I thought this one was a real goody):

Have you ever experienced going beyond moderation in daydreaming or escapism?

I would love to read your answers and experiences if you’re willing.

Back in the Land of the Living

by Chavah Kinloch on August 12, 2009

Well, here I am 3 weeks after delivery and finally starting to get into something that slightly resembles a functioning life. Boston is doing fantastic, he’s had a ‘spontaneous recovery’ from his severe shoulder dystocia so no longer needs therapy. I have weekly physiotherapy appointments because apparently I have torn a ligament in my pelvis and now my pelvis is unaligned. Last week I got to be taped up around my hips, this week (and the next 11 weeks to come) I get to wear this belt thing around my hips and pubic bone to try to get everything back into place. Strangely, the belt makes a big difference, unlike the tape. I’m also still relying on some pretty strong drugs. Boston has hit 13lb this weeks and is just a gem. Such an easygoing baby which more than makes up for a miserable pregnancy.

Now, onto Art!

I am part of an upcoming exhibition being held in Chritchurch in September. Yay! This is most likely my only exhibit for the year as I made the decision to put the focus on my family this year, for obvious reasons. I may be able to sneak in another one though…we’ll see, you’ll have to watch ths space hehe. We should have a flyer out soon for this upcoming exhibit and I’ll be able to confirm all the finer details in the next few weeks.
Last but not least, I have listed this painting on TradeMe.

They’re all up!

by Chavah Kinloch on September 5, 2008

The NZ Society finished hanging the paintings this past weekend and have uploaded a few photos of the Suze in Mayfair exhibit. Also, they have added profiles and photos of the paintings for auction. I love the diversity of the paintings that all still seem to reflect New Zealand. Go here to explore more. Katherine has been great to deal with, I hope all goes well!
