Nicola Welten has a love of bold colours & paints joyful, semi-abstract, floral and landscape paintings from her home studio. She starts her work with abstract marks and sweeps of colour and finds the intention in the work as it unfolds. She unapologetically uses a lot of fluorescent and transparent colours and paints quickly to retain the energy in the work. Nicola is a regular exhibitor at the NZ Art Show in Wellington.
After exhibiting in gardens in the last two festivals, Nicola is really excited to share her own new home based studio and gallery with the festival visitors. It is a light, airy space designed to show off her colourful, uplifting work. ❤

Is it a fruit or is it a veggie...or does it even matter when you have too many of them all at once?! 😂 What if you could make an incredibly tasty chutney that goes with everything? Look no further than this recipe to create a delicious Tomato Kasundi.
If you get hooked on making this and run out of fresh produce, no problem. Simply use canned tomatoes.
1kg fresh tomatoes (whole) or 2 x tins canned tomato
1 x packet tomato paste 140gms
2 x medium to large onions diced
6 x Tbsp garlic grated (about 1 & 1/2 heads)
6 x Tbsp grated fresh ginger
3/4 cup cider vinegar
1 1/4 cup brown soft sugar
2 x Tbsp mild curry power
2 x Tbsp garam marsala
1 x Tbsp ground turmeric
1 x Tbsp ground cumin
1 x Tbsp ground coriander
1 x Tbsp ground chili or fresh chili
2 x Tbsp salt
2 x Tbsp black mustard seeds
1/2 cup of oil of your choice.
In 1/2 cup of oil sauté the onions, garlic, ginger until soft, then add all spices and sugar and cook for 5min on a medium to high heat.
Add cider vinegar and scrape the pot bottom clean.
Add tomatoes and tomato paste.
Cook on low heat with a lid on for 1/2hr.
Use a blender to make smooth. Add more salt or sugar or vinegar to taste. Bottle and store or keep in the fridge. Enjoy with everything!

The garden of Di and Paul Pinkerton is sure to delight a wide range of visitors as it has so much to offer! "Redwood Acres" in Ohauiti is new to the BOP Garden and Art Festival Trail, and is a diverse garden/nursery with a range of plants; predominantly tropical. Di and Paul said of being part of this year's festival "we appreciate the opportunity to network with like minded people and showcase our garden." ❤
There are palms, bromeliads, cycads, succulents, fruit trees, vegetable beds and the nursery is home to a significant collection of bromeliads!
Dispersed throughout the gardens is a range of complimentary farm art, contemporary artworks and statues.
Engine enthusiasts are also taken care of as there will be a collection of stationary engines on display, and some will be running! If it sounds like there's a lot of awesome things to see, you'd be right 😎

Artist John East was born in NZ and enjoys living by the sea in the beautiful Bay of Plenty. He studied at Elam, his artwork is focused on New Zealand birds, flowers, and horses. John finds by using acrylics he can capture his subjects in full bold colours, always trying to make each piece of art have a point of difference. You will see his stunning original works plus indoor, outdoor prints at the Festival, and you can enjoy them even sooner by visiting Palmers Bethlehem this weekend!

Pamela Lines is a landscape/ seascape watercolour artist based in the beautiful town of Waihi beach. She is influenced by her environment and her art represents the tide, the coast, the water and the local landscape. Her working mantra is “ Keep it simple. Feel the essence.” Colour and movement play important roles within her art where the image is reduced to its abstract form, allowing the viewer to experience the work in its purest state.
Returning for this year's festival, Pamela said she is "looking forward to showing my new works and as always, meeting people who are interested in my art and catching up with other artists and collectors of my work."

A love of nature provides the perfect creative inspiration for local artist Lynda Soutar. Lynda creates sculptural works using reclaimed material, where possible. Her small indoor artworks draw on her love of nature, where she fashions flaxes and flowers in spheres, and tussock grasses. Her outdoor artworks are mainly spheres in copper, using natural themes. As a returning artist for 2024 she said she is "excited to be back again, to catch up & meet the visitors & share my work with them."
