Hey guys,
It’s a while since I’ve managed to catch up with you, so I hope you are all thriving and enjoying the wonderful winter weather and the glorious colours, such sun, we are so blessed.
I just wanted to let you know that, as of tomorrow, 5th June 2008, there is a wonderful exhibition of donated art work, at Mahi Wine on Terrace Road Renwick in Marlborough, which is definitely worth visiting. Artists such as JS Parker, Llew Summers, Bridget Bidwill, Fran Maguire and many others have donated artworks to raise money for the Jenny Doole-Leo Tertiary Education Fund. The Charity Art Auction is under way, so if you wish to make a bid, either go online and view the work, at www.jennyauction.co.nz or visit the Mahi Winery and place your bid there.
The highest bid at noon on 1 August, 2008 will be the successful owner of each respective artwork. The current bids are reflected on the website, and are updated regularly.
Marlborough artist Jenny Doole-Leo, who died of cancer recently, touched many with her work, her teaching and her generosity.
Jenny, her sculptor husband Iosefa and their two daughters Luisa and Sina are a highly respected family in the Marlborough art community and beyond. As news of Jenny’s illness spread, people asked how they could help and so the idea of an auction to raise funds for the girls’ tertiary education was born. The exhibition at Mahi Wine and the online auction are the result.
Do go along and have a look.
