STILL lifes, landscapes, seascapes, effusions of flowers and fantasy works feature among artist and Leighton House resident Christina King’s paintings in an exhibition of her work at the rest home. When an activity coordinator came up with the idea of exhibiting pieces of Mrs King’s art, family and friends of the 90-year-old self-taught artist contributed a large selection of works. The exhibition was part of an initiative in which Leighton House staff identify residents’ talents and help each of them make a display or presentation. Mrs King was first up and talked to residents about her work and what inspired her. “I’ve painted and taught art privately for about 40 years,” Mrs King told The Gisborne Herald. “People would say ‘can you paint such and such’, ‘would you paint this?’ “I haven’t painted for years now. After my husband died, there was so much to do I didn’t paint again.” Mrs King also used to sing and act in Gisborne Theatre Arts shows. “I’m a performer,” she said. One of several family members at the exhibition described it as “a celebration of a life of work in art”.
