FEATURED PAINTING: Koru Heartland
This easy to paint abstract of our landscape celebrates our love of New Zealand and how full our hearts are as a nation. We love Aotearoa and everyone in it.
As a valentine's special treat, we created this one so it can be hung next to another one (painted as a mirror image) so together they create a heart. Pretty cool huh.
Come paint your heart with us this Valentine's Day.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
