Dick Frizzell has been chosen as the next artist-in-residence at Alexandra's Henderson House for the next two to three months. This invite-only residency provides artists with a space to use at their will. Dick will be working on a series of South Island based paintings as well as illustrations for a new book; Me, According to the History of Art. Henderson House Trust chairman and artist Grahame Sydney said: "there is probably no more widely known name in New Zealand art than Dick Frizzell ... He is a relentless, obsessive worker, a brilliant hand and an immensely enjoyable personality". Other artists and writers who have spent time here include Gregory O'Brien, Peter Peryer, Warwick Freeman, and Vincent O'Sullivan. Read more here.
