Hi Dale!
Can you pass on to this months Artists how much I've enjoyed viewing their works - Rae's Palliser Bay and Marie's Tongapouutu are great! Also enjoyed Tracey's colourful Pasifika work and dynamism of Glenys's 'Weathered Rocks' and 'Grasses'.
Lorraine 'White Hart' is a really accurate portrayal of the building - must have been a few years ago to have lawn on the opposite corner Lorraine!!!
The Hurleyville Store and Annes Old House by the Mountain reminds me of so many older farm-houses in our region - always evocative of days gone by and great to see them recorded.
Finally, Noras watercolours remind me of how fortunate I am to live here - reflections of sights we see frequently , here in New Plymouth.
Well done Gels and thanks!!

Hi there I've just checked out the web site, it's great and I'm feeling a little nostalgic.
Good ole Taranaki.
I'm in Brisbane, finished my Advanced Diploma of Ceramics at Southbank TAFE last year although with two young children still have the trouble of finding the time to complete pieces to sell.
I have been back the last two years at Christmas time and love visiting the gallery's to check out all the fresh and imaginative creations that these gifted artists are producing.
Well must go it's 11.00 pm and children don't like to sleep in.

Chesswas pictures
Found your pics very colourful, looks like straight from the tube which is becoming popular with several Uk artists.
Are you going to the Chesswas reunion? Brian and Gill from England are travelling over for it as I type. If you meet Gill, tell her she left a chicken in the oven!
Regards, Colin Osborne.

Donna,
Mary sent us the link to this website, & your art is really stunning!
Such vibrant colors, and I really see feel of the NZ landscape.
This is a great way to be able to see art that's so far away.
The other artists have wonderful stuff, too.
I'm sending this link to my sister -- also an artist -- in Maryland.

E Te Atua mai ki au te mauri tau
Ki te tango i nga mea e kore a taca e au te whakarereke
Tukuna mai te ngakau maia
Ka te whakarereke i nga mea
Ka taea e au,a,
Tukuna mai hoki te matauranga
Kia mohio au ko tehea tehea.
To me you are a major part of this change.
Thanks for all your inspiration.

"Push" by Anne-Marie Clegg is awesome!
The dynamics of her work is incredible. She puts her heart and soul into each piece - and it shows.

FAO Dale Copeland
WOW! I have been doing what I (for want of a better name) call my "cheese-boxes" for about a year now; until I saw your work I really thought I was the only one out there who thought along these lines.
I think your work is truly magic; I'm just off now to tell my friend Kea about it; she's a New Zealander who I met via a great BBC website called h2g2 (if you'd like details, let me know, or if you find it yourself go to the page "Terri and Yoda, cheese-boxes extraordinaire")
I would love to hear from you, any time you feel like popping across to S.W France, let us know!
Keep up the good work!
Terri Stirling.

Dale,
Congratulations on the new "real" TART gallery.
I'm sure it's worth at ticket from the US to NZ just to see all of the wonderful art in person.
Until then, though, I love looking at Taranaki art on the Web site.
Cheers, Delores

It was a pleasure to look at your website - it is a fantastic collection of artists using different media.
I like in particular the work that reflects the Taranaki environment - the colours, the shells and the mountain that dominates the region. Please keep it up - I look forward having at look at it from the UK.

I like your work - and your "break fown the barriers" attitude. Narrow definitions of art only hobble us all.

Hello Dale!
in a simi drunkin state, I would like to inform you that Allan (Waldo) Hartley is indeed a mad man!
he should (if judged by the norm) be locked up, but I being sligthly ab-norm think his is one of the most talented artist to come from the land of long clouds and sheep, you of coruse are as always super to !
ciao and think of me in the morning, ooh if I could only paint!

October 6, 2002

thanks to Dale (web mistress) and all the artists (represented on Virtual tart) .. you gave my urban Sunday afternoon a taste of Taranaki freshness.
Thanks for keeping the home fires burning for we absentee Naki cats.

Hi, I was previously a student of Taranaki Polytechnic Graphic design programme of the 1998 - 2000.
Speculation to me disapearing off the earth is just rumours, as I am now working full time as a graphic designer for a palmerston NOrth company and making a healthy wage. I was voted most successful designer at work and most creative (as we have 22 designers.
Thats all for now, if yu are looking for a Job down this way give me a call and i will look around for you [:)]
