She has many interests, from screen printing to paper crafts and everything in between. Jodie Allen Jodie Allen will be among the exhibitors. Jodie has always loved art and majored in art and photography while training as a teacher. Although Jodie has been teaching art to children for 30 years, she has only recently begun focusing more on her passion for art. She is currently exploring the mediums of oil painting and watercolour. Jodie is particularly inspired by nature and highlighting the beauty in God’s world around us through visual language, photography and painted images.

Her work has been displayed in exhibitions at the Estuary Art Gallery in Orewa. Commissions are welcome. Pauline Denton For as long as she can remember, Pauline has loved to draw. Completing a Fine Art Degree at Sheffield Polytechnic in the UK in 1984, she began working with ‘differently abled’ adults tutoring arts in 2000 and loves to celebrate their instinctive creativity.

In her spare time she enjoys letting the paint itself take the lead in creating the work and developing what she finds within its lines and marks, such as her ‘Green Bird’ painting where she discovered she had created a bird and accentuated it by adding painted feathers. Andrew Denton Multimedia artist, fabricator and woodturner, Andrew is the’ behind the scenes’ man for the Arts Fest, creating the display screens and hanging the exhibition each year, Andrew has been an invaluable support to the ‘all girl’ team.
