Zone 1 at the Feilding Art Centre - June 2026

Ramblings of a Busy Mind offers an intimate look into the vivid, unpredictable, and wonderfully curious imagination of Manawatū artist Connor Sinclair. This exhibition brings together a dynamic collection of paintings and drawings that reflect the constant movement of his thoughts - sometimes playful, sometimes reflective, always distinctly his.

Connor’s work spans an eclectic mix of subjects: quirky frogs, the quiet rhythms of nature, expressive portraits, and the unexpected ideas that surface when creativity refuses to sit still. Each piece reveals a different corner of his mind, inviting viewers to explore the humour, energy, and emotion woven through his art.

A lifelong creator, Connor has experimented with a wide range of mediums and styles. In recent years, he has honed a visual language that feels authentically his - bold, characterful, and driven by instinct. This exhibition marks his decision to share that evolving style with the wider world.

At the heart of Connor’s practice is joy: the joy of making, discovering, and expressing. He hopes that same spark reaches those who encounter his work, offering a moment of connection with the busy, imaginative world he carries within him.
