 GALLERY & ART SUPPLIES SQUARE EDGE PALMERSTON NORTH

 

Hi, my name is Toni and along with my husband Zayne we are a Manawatū family owned art supplies business in the iconic Square Edge building in Palmerston North.

My love for local art encompasses all ideas, creating, connecting & sharing with the artistic community.

I really enjoy being creative; paint, colour, texture, paper, canvas, brushes and sharing the all the secrets of art technique.
