We are Kalyana Ferguson and Melanie Marshall - a mother and daughter artistic duo with a rich history of collaboration spanning two decades.

Our artistic journey began with acrylic paintings on canvas and being involved in various exhibitions along the way and expanded to clay work, sculptures, watercolours, mixed media and photography. However our shared passion for working in wool has always been a constant.

Previously we showcased our knitted and crocheted creations at local markets in the Wairarapa region where our love for the craft truly flourished. Of recent times we`ve had window exhibitions with our toys and craft. As Amigurumi artists we have so much fun in designing whimsical toys, cosie cushions and an array of imaginative projects in different yarn options. In recent times we added rock art to our repertoire.

Our daily creative endeavours are a source of immense joy for us and we find satisfaction in seeing the happiness our creations bring to others. You can find our work and stay connected with us on Facebook and Instagram under Collective Concepts Art, @collectiveconceptsart
