In keeping with the theme, in August the exhibition opening of 'Free as a Bird' will be held on a weekend afternoon at the Wellington Naturist Club in Upper Hutt. and coincide with their Open Day. You'll be able to come out to see the Naturist Club's large grounds and facilities and take part in the exhibition opening.
Sam Earp's collection is a mix of small framed and unframed South Island landscapes plus scenes from his new home in Northland and a Wellington Owhiro Bay. The feature piece is Northland's 'Taupo Bay' painted with the beautiful use of light that marks Sam's art.
