Random Ramblings of an Overactive Mind

I finished one painting and have packaged it ready to send back to be part of this years NZAG collaborative project, so half way to completing another thing on my list. It’s done on a small piece of wood. The big reveal of the collaboration will be done at the Bruce Mason Centre on July [...]

Art Lovers Luncheon 2010

Wow, I am shattered right now. Today was the Art Lovers Luncheon at the Kelvin Hotel, Invercargill. It was a great experience, the organisers did a really good job. After a rough start- the 3M hooks we had to use, wouldn’t stick to the wall – I ended up creating a makeshift display using a [...]

Art Lovers Luncheon Tomorrow

It’s going to be a busy and hopefully fun day tomorrow. I think I’ve got everything sorted, although I am still trying to figure out how to stand up some of my pieces that have nothing to hold them up on the back of their frames. Tomorrow I’m part of an Art Lovers Luncheon taking place [...]

5 Things I Wish I Knew Before I Sold My Art Work

There are a few tips I thought others out there could use. Just a few things I, myself, wish I had known before I ventured into the big wide world of being an artist. Photos: I wish I’d realised how important it was to have a decent camera that took high quality images and easily [...]

Back to Reality

Oooo weeeee. So how was your Easter? I think I’m more tired now than I was before the break! We’ve been working on Boston’s room and will continue to do so every day till we’re done. We’re ALMOST ready to move on from stripping those 7 layers of wallpaper…so close, so soooo close. I never [...]

Opening Night

It’s all done! It’s looks fantastic and I really enjoyed myself chatting the night away with artists and art lovers alike. I managed to forget I had orange juice in my cup and spilt it all over the front of my dress at one stage but hey, I survived lol. I seriously enjoyed myself more [...]

Allow Me to Reintroduce Myself...

My name is Chavah. They say for a relationship to work you need a dreamer and a realist. I am the dreamer. My dreams are what I MAKE my reality. I am passionately curious, sometimes awkward and I have a somewhat ridiculous but infectious laugh. I live in the deep south of New Zealand, married to my realist husband. I need him, he keeps it real... like realists do. I spend my days raising four out-going children, it's as exhausting as one would imagine. Currently I live and breathe transforming my body into a powerful weapon. It's my new found love, so if you need me - find me at the gym. Actually don't, I dislike talking while I'm training. I've been described as eccentric, I quite like that. The definition of eccentric is 'deviating from the recognized or customary character, practice'; that sounds about right. I'm the crazy creative type, well actually I'm not that crazy. I know exactly what's up but I am creative. I'm an Artist that's exhibited extensively throughout NZ and sold pieces internationally but right now I'm busy raising children so instead my creative tendencies have been refocused on up-cycling furniture, redecorating my home, event planning and writing.

Stick around to read all about it.
