Blending art with science Amy Earles is 22, has a degree in environmental science, is a sustainability advisor and likes to tie her passion for the environment to her artwork. That’s why you will see endangered species and landscapes featuring in her pieces, nine of which will exhibited at the Tauranga Society of
Artists’ Original Art Expo at Tauranga Boys’ College gymnasium this weekend. It’s described as a significant event, the largest exhibition of its kind in the Bay of Plenty and a showcase for the region’s art and artists. Amy, who mainly works in acrylics and pastels, says
she was inspired to join the society after attending their exhibitions in recent years, and she has found it to be a source of great knowledge, experience and opportunity. The story of the BOP’s biggest art expo is on page 10. Photo: John Boren.
