Morag Stokes Open Studio, Khandallah, Wellington, 14 & 15 Feb, 11am-4pm

You are invited to visit the workplace of Morag Stokes, painter and photographer www.stokes.net.nz) as part of the 2009 New Zealand Fringe Festival Artists Open Studios.

This is an opportunity to browse and buy, meet the artist and have a behind the scenes look at how her work is created.

Morag enjoys the challenges of abstraction in painting, and her finished works reflects the interplay of materials and processes. Dragging paint over and off surfaces, and working with what is left behind is the essence of how she paints. The end results, which she calls her 'drag' and 'text' works, often have a strong linear quality.

Morag Stokes Open Studio is at 59 Jubilee Rd, Khandallah, Wellington
