Journey with Me

Franklin Arts Centre from Franklin Arts Centre

Journey with Me
Sheree Foster
30 July - 19 August 2024

Journey with Me is Sheree Foster's 4th solo exhibition of works, she has created as she continues on her "Journey" returning to the Arts.

This exhibition showcases her artistic journey through unique art pieces which are "one off" and are created from a range of repurposed materials as a means of honouring the environment. She is inspired by the materials that she gathers from Mother Nature and combines them with textiles, metals, flax, weaving and cordage, harmonizing with texture and form to re-contextualize into three-dimensional work, often showing a Pacific rim, contemporary and botanical theme.

Free events:

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Today (Wednesday) we're having another Neighbourly Q&A session. This time with Cat Rikihana who is a financial mentor, educator and financial capability practitioner at Financial Freedom Trust in the Manawatū.

Cat Rikihana (Ngai Tahu) like many financial mentors around Aotearoa, works with individuals, groups and whānau to successfully navigate financial stress and hardship. Mentors work alongside whānau to increase confidence and skills in personal money management and advocate with and for clients. Cat enjoys delivering online and face-to-face workshops which provide opportunities to normalise money conversations and encourages people to make time to consider their financial well-being.

Cat is also an independent financial well-being coach, educator and indigenous life coach at Restore Wellness Network. She is a published writer and currently in the process of writing her first non-fiction book: 'A financial self-care guide for women in Aotearoa.'

She'd love to answer any questions you may have around your budgeting and spending habits, strategies for saving, retirement planning and debt. (Don't be shy, but be mindful about what you disclose!)
