Hastings Art Trail members did very well in the Summer Showcase Exhibition held by the Hastngs Vallery Fine Arts Association. This exhibition is held in Laurieton at the Laurieton United Services Club from 29th December through to 5th January 2012. There was a Cocktail Opening night and Award Presentation on Wednesday 28th December 2011 with quite a large number of art trail members receiving awards, testifying to the quality of work presented by art trail members.
 

A New initiative of the Hastings Art Trail is our participation in the monthly Foreshore Markets. These markets are held on the second Saturday of each month and feature artists, artisans and locally made products and produce to entice the public and tourists in what the region has to offer.

Kim started off as a pastellist and has used various mixed media but finds she's drawn to watercolour. Most of her work is done in watercolour. She loves the luminosity, unpredictability and the challenge of watercolour. She's inspired by life in general and all the little things we take for granted and she loves impressionism.

Helen's artworks are bright and expressive, covering a range of subjects including still life, seascapes and landscapes. She is particulary drawn to the unique colours, shapes and contrasts of the outback, but also draws a great deal of inspiration from the everchaning moods and colours of the ocean.
