'Ramsay to Renoir' is a fundraiser for Life Linc; a charitable organisation that provides very low cost professional counselling to couples and individuals within Nelson and Tasman.
Using live models wearing historically accurate recreations of garments from famous paintings, from Ramsay's portrait of Queen Charlotte to Renoir's portrait of the actress Jeanne Samary, historian Leimomi Oakes will explore the intersection between art and fashion, and the secret messages coded into paintings through the clothing depicted.
Leimomi is an internationally renowned costumer & fashion historian. She specialises in recreating historical fashions using period accurate techniques, and in exploring the way historical events and societal mores influenced, and were influenced by, fashion and textiles.
Leimomi's talks are informative and entertaining, and have been delivered to audiences at Government House in Wellington, Old Government House in Sydney, as well as at numerous museums, including Te Papa.

An insider’s  look behind the rings

He is a current member of the International Olympic Committee, and was deeply involved in the Rio Olympics. From 2001-2011 he held the position of Secretary General for the New Zealand Olympic Committee.

This event is brought to you by the Tahunanui Community Centre and is this year's main fundraising event.
Many of us are trying to understand how to raise children in a completely new family landscape. More and more of us are living in blended families...and we're also all facing new issues like technologically dependent teenagers, a tidal wave of alcohol and drugs, and a whole pile of other issues our parents' generation didn't have to even consider. In answer to all of these complex issues, Nigel presents an evening of evidence-based opinion and simplifying common sense. Just because the issues are complicated, doesn't mean that the solutions have to be.
Nigel has had a varied and colourful career which spans all the way from a brief episode as a busker in the eighties, to over two decades working as a clinical psychologist, and more recently as an author and documentary maker. In his clinical career he worked in sex offender treatment programmes, schools, alcohol and drug treatment programmes, prisons, and with many thousands of families. He also consulted with the police, child youth and family, and the prison service. In more recent years he's written books on both parenting and his work as a forensic psychologist which have now been published in nineteen countries. His television career has included documentaries on subjects ranging from parenting, to inequality, sugar, alcohol, antarctic science, and blowing stuff up. In 2012, he was appointed as an Officer of the New Zealand Order of Merit.
