Alice Blackley

Welcome. I work in a variety of mediums and styles and hope that something within this gallery interests you.

Galleries that represent me;

Bath Street Gallery
Sell my symbolically abstract word pictures or 'word spells' as art critic, T.J. McNamara describes them. I am presently working on a new series for the gallery with the intention of an exhibition in late 2008/ early 2009. I have been with Bath Street Gallery for 4 years, was mentioned in The N.Z Hearld 2006 review as a show worth remebering. I was also on the Breakfast Show with my first exhibition held at the Gallery. www.bathstreetgallery.com

I am a member of Hullabaloo Gallery, a highly organsied artist run co-operative gallery in the old part of Cromwell. I have work on display there and will be having a solo exhibtion in December.

I am an active member of the QAS (Queenstown Art Society)and rent a studio space in their building in Queenstown, whilst I am renovating an old house that I have by the lake. I am there most days when not on duty at Hullabaloo, Cromwell.

To date I have had over 20 group shows and 10 solo exhibtions, won a few awards and entered many.
