Last week for PulseArt exhibition
"My paintings are of moments that have caught my attention... They are little flashes of memory and image. Introspection, for me, is a going inwards. That is now partly triggered by reflecting on my illness (cancer) without it “knocking me down.”" - Beth Hudson
"In this instance the painting (in this exhibition) takes on a life of its own, going beyond the chalked outline of a hand, converting it into something rich and vibrant." - Fran Marno
"My partner is writing a book... based on a chess board with 2 Queens on the board... Hence, I am working with canvas squares like a chess board with imagery of mine and my partner’s scarves, which represent our bodies." - Sue Marshall
"I was drawn to the shape and material of the fishing weights; they look like water droplets and they have been hot and molten and are now cold and set. It got me thinking of memories, embarrassing, passionate, sad and happy ones..." - Cath Head

1.4% Other - I'll share below
We're talking new year resolutions...
Tidying the house before going to bed each night, meditating upon waking or taking the stairs at work.
What’s something quick, or easy, that you started doing that made a major positive change in your life?
⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
