Exhibition Preview-Thursday 11th August 2005 Duration of the exhibition: 11th August-4th September 2005
Cecily Guarrera Cecily is exhibiting tactile works, full of texture and layers that both
conceal and reveal. The colours and shapes depicted are from the endless history of symbolism that gives visual form to
“something that is us”. This work is for people who love to see the movement and texture of something created by hand-
in contrast to computer-generated images.
Anne Marie Verbeek Anne Marie is a New Zealander born of Dutch immigrant parents nearly fifty years ago, and raised in
the South Island. She is a country girl, a mother, an artist and a Christian. For the last 12 years she has lived in
Wellington. Her artistic expression touches on all these factors; who she is, what she is and where she belongs.
Anne Marie has two main categories of paintings: in the first group the idea gets onto a surface ‘in one hit’ – more or
less a painted drawing. The second group is the result of experimentation and layers. Some works have taken a period of
years to complete.
