Bright-Life Gallery

August 2010.

We have the Artist's Register & The Auction results sections working, thanks to my Friend Bruce Hudson at Gantt NZ http://www.gantt.co.nz  as you will see there is only a small amount of data there as yet but now that we have it working the work begins to fill it up.

I will start off listing artist's names & a small biography (if possible) with examples of their work. This will include things sold at auction or available at their web sites & for more historical figures maybe the highest prices paid for their work & a picture of it. This archive has been suggested to me by many people & hope that it will prove helpful to visitors. If a contemporary artist would like to be included in this archive then for a very modest fee I would put up a page for them with a link to their own web site.

I currently have over 100 pre-owned works. Some of my own & some consigned to me by vendors who prefer not to send their artworks through the auction system. This service is available to anyone with suitable stock & I will be pleased to explain my system & commission rates if you phone me (O9-968-2135) or e-mail using the contact button at the top of the page. I have over 700 successful sales since I began this operation as a hobby business while still lucky enough to be working full time. Since my redundancy it has taken on a larger significance & I am grateful to the good people who have given me the opportunity to sell their cherished artwork.

I am expanding the number of works listed on the web site & will be acquiring soon a proper set of photographers lights to improve the quality of my photography. This will also mean I don't have to wait until there is a sunny day to do the necessary work.

You may visit the gallery at almost any time, (unit 22, No. 14 Airborne Road, Rosedale, North Shore City) all I need is a phone call (O9-968-2135) to make sure I am not out on a delivery or other errand. I can then make sure I am here at your convenience. The Gallery is overly full presently as I still have a number of the redundant stock from a friends closed Art Gallery. These are decorative imported oils on canvas & are for sale at about 30% or less than their original retail. Some of them are shown on this web site. I would normally not sell imported art as I am a great supporter of New Zealand artists, but some times a friend needs some help.

I welcome questions about any works on display or even if you are merely looking for information. Hit the "Contact Us" button at the top of the page & send me a note. I promise to get back to you within 24 hours. Any item can be purchased directly from the site & I guarantee if I have not described the item correctly & you are dissatisfied, I will refund the purchase price on return of the item in original condition.

Please use the car parks marked Number 22 or Visitors when visiting the Gallery. Anything else belongs to my neighbors. On the weekends there is plenty of space out on the road. I am less than a minutes walk from the road.

Many thanks, Dusty Wilson.
