"Larger Space" by David Underwood
An exhibition of paintings - Estuary Arts Orewa
24 September to 20 October 2019
Opening function Saturday 28 September 3pm to 5pm
Born in England, David now lives on the North Shore. Trained as an astrophysicist at London and Leicester Universities, David has worked as a physics teacher for many years in the Middle East, Australia, the UK and New Zealand.
He began painting seriously in acrylics several years ago and has exhibited in galleries in Scotland and New Zealand. David's paintings are inspired by his interests in science and his work stretches from realism, through whimsical to surreal reflection. His work often suggests a story behind the image on the canvas, and his landscapes are inspired by the imaginary extensions of the real world.
David has exhibited in Scotland at the Seagull Gallery, Castle gallery and 18-East Gallery, and in Auckland at Lakehouse and Northart gallaries as well as Estuary Arts Centre.

As a seasoned Crewcut franchisee, John is excited to answer your lawn and gardening questions. After years of perfecting the greens on the field, he's ready to share tips on how to knock your garden out of the park. Let's just say he’s as passionate about lush lawns as he is about a good game of cricket!
John is happy to answer questions about lawn mowing, tree/hedge trimming, tidying your garden, ride on mowing, you name it! He'll be online on Wednesday, 27th of November to answer them all.
