Internationally recognised, New Zealand landscape artist Marion Towns has a creditable list of major exhibitions behind her and her works sell to art lovers throughout the world.
The chalk pastel medium Marion works with is used with skill and her choice of colours epitomises the New Zealand summer. Her paintings fall into the Impressionist category - mostly landscapes and seascapes - to which she occasionally adds the female nude form very cleverly emphasising the contours and curves of both.
Delight in the creativity of Golden Bay. This charming building in Takaka's main street houses a collection of fine work by artists, jewellers, weavers, potters and sculptors from this uniquely creative part of New Zealand.
The Golden Bay Arts Council consists of a group of volunteers who support and initiate local Arts events.
