New works - Peter Maxwell Wright highlight

Peter Wright’s exhibition of new works has opened. Peter first exhibited at Blenheim Gallery and Sculpture Garden since 2018, and like so many artists his love of painting has taken him from his early childhood on a journey of learning to paint through his uncle and aunt Geoff and Hilma Tyson to present watercolours and large scale landscape paintings in oil paint.

At the opening of the exhibition Peter expressed in a passionate way his love as an artist by saying”-

“My first memory of painting was preschool, and it was an integral subject all through my education. Having come from a creative extended family it was natural.

Art can bring us windows into the world, soothing or provocative.

Art can bring joy, evoke memories, and make dreams come true.

Painting allows me creative expression, feeds my soul, and is my relaxation.”

He also makes wonderful bush stick furniture which is also extremely popular as verandah furniture.
