15 MONTHS worth of hard work has finally paid for Carterton artist Rhondda Grieg, when she presents an art tribute to the local event centre this morning. In her 70s now, Rhondda Grieg was commissioned to make the huge seven by four metre wall painting for the opening of the Carterton Event centre a year ago, but she says there were just too many challenges

AN ARTIST in her seventies will present a huge seven by three-metre wall hanging to the Carterton Event Centre today , a year after it was supposed to be finished. Artist Rhonda Grieg says it took longer than expected to make because of the huge size of Perspex needed and also the difficulty to get the special art materials.
