A father/daughter combo features in the latest exhibition at Percy Thomson Gallery. Bellringer Bellringer WharehokaSmith brings together father Andrew Bellringer, daughter Kenzie Bellringer and family friend WharehokaSmith.
WharehokaSmith was visiting metal artist mate Andrew and spied a collection of painted car bonnets by Kenzie sitting in the shed.
WharehokaSmith was so impressed he suggested that he, Kenzie and Andrew join together for an exhibition.
Kenzie, a keen Demolition Derby driver and auto car painter, decorated her car bonnets for every derby.
"I have a keen interest in all kinds of art, and in my teenage years I started playing around with stencils and spray cans, inspired by my high school art teacher. When I started competing in Demolition Derbies at the age of 17, I used my cars as my canvas and had just as much fun painting the bonnets as I did smashing them on the speedway track."
