Holly Manning: Kumeu Children's Art Club Tutor
|
Holly Manning:
Holly Manning is the Kumeu Children's Art Club Tutor and is also one of our Member artists. Her personal outlook on life and attitude towards art is reflected well in her students who produce fun, colourful and energetic creations. As a multidisciplinary artist Manning draws, paints using a variety of media particularly watercolour, gouache, coloured pencils, and POSCA pens. She creates zines and also does embroidery. Working from people she sees, and places she’s been Holly classifies herself as a ‘storyteller.’ She translates life events or just the ‘everyday’ subject matter into a world of her own. Manning’s purpose behind her creativity is very simplistic; “Everything I make is about having fun and bringing joy – what else would be the point?” And she brings this vibrancy to our Art Club children. |

Louise Wild:

Louise spends a lot of time at the beach and in rural New Zealand and loves the simplicity of mother nature; texture, pattern, colour, shade, earth, sea, sky. She has been a member of Kumeu Arts for over 8 years and tutors the Friday morning Ceramics course as well as the Friday afternoon Teen Pottery 4-week course. |
