Consider the Flowers | Margaret Trolove

This exhibition is a celebration of the art of Margaret Trolove (1925-2025), a long-standing member of Whakatere Ashburton’s artistic community. Margaret was a valued member of the Ashburton Society of Arts (ASA), and it was through the Society that she embraced painting as a hobby.

The work in this exhibition demonstrates Margaret’s skilful handling of watercolour, ink and pastel in calm, patient works that reward attentive contemplation. Finding inspiration in her beloved garden, they demonstrate her dedication to the floral still-life genre and facilitate an appreciation of the quiet beauty of everyday existence.
