Nicole Allen

Ever since the first human scratched in sand an outline of another human, artists have been striving to portray their own interpretation of the human form. Very few have achieved perfection. And nor should they. It is ‘the’ on-going struggle, of all figurative artists. Like those figurative artists before her, Nicole is constantly striving to explore the many different, and un-expected representations of the human form. Her works haven’t, nor ever will be confined to just one medium, or one representation.... Read More >>

Marian Blank

I have always loved pictures and have been painting for as long as I can remember. Still life interests me a great deal. I love the sense of order and intimacy that can be felt in a still life picture. We are surrounded by still life in our domestic lives and it is often the simplest combinations of colours, textures and patterns that I find the most beautiful. Colour provides my greatest inspiration and joy when I paint and most of my paintings start with a sense for the colours I feel like working with. The selection of flowers, fruits, crockery and fabric are all in response to that initial colour feeling.... Read More >>

Krassimir Bekyarov

Krassimir Bekyarov - I am born and raised in Bulgaria but I am calling Australia my home since 2015. My first encounter with ceramics happened many years before then though. At a very young age I found out that I am fascinated by this versatile material which can translate itself into the most unique forms the imagination can create. This led me to leaving my home town at the age of 14 and going to study in the small Bulgarian town Troyan which is “the capital” of the pottery arts and crafts in the country. I started my professional journey in the world of ceramics in the most renowned pottery crafts high school in the country where I learnt the traditional wheel throwing and hand building techniques used in the entire Balkans region. After graduation I already knew that my professional path as an artist will be the one of a ceramicist, so I continued my studies in the National Academy of Fine Arts in Bulgaria where I explored the material beyond its functional application in the context of modern contemporary art. I became very passionate about drawing and painting, which later on I started to incorporate in my ceramic objects. As a passionate and dedicated young artist I participated and won many competitions and awards, including a national art award handed in by the Prime Minister of the country.... Read More >>

Michael Berry

Although not formally art-trained - (a blessing he asserts) - Michael says “I have been taught the universal visual language by all the great masters of every era”, and passionately studies everyone from Tiepolo and Titian to Miro, Braque and Picasso and beyond to Pollock, Tobey, Gorky, Krasner, Cornell, Nevelson and Matta. Working outside mainstream commercial flow, Michael’s own painting, drawing, assemblage and sculpture is cutting-edge abstraction – “symphonic space” as he terms it - and as such is synonymous with his exploration of the manner in which the human mind functions in images. However, he is sympathetic to the genuine exploration of representational-realist painting and drawing, as without solid grounding in that structure, abstraction as the consummate visual language cannot occur....

Sarah Boulton

My work reflects my love of pattern and texture and the way I see, feel and experience the world around me. I am drawn to the natural environment. My home in the bushland of Central Victoria is a powerful influence. The trees and wildflowers, creeks, hills, rocks and animals all find their way into my work and seasonal changes drive new explorations, particularly the abundance and vibrancy of Spring....

D’Arcy Doyle

D’Arcy W. Doyle was a 20th-century Australian painter known for his nostalgic depictions of his home country. Throughout his images of the outback and historical Australian scenes, he worked in a realist style reminiscent of the illustrations of American painter Norman Rockwell. Doyle has a deep affinity with the Australian bush and his work focuses on horses, sheep, drovers, and other farm activities as well as children's games and sport. D'Arcy Doyle gives us a nostalgic impression of post-war Brisbane and Ipswich as he recalls it. D'Arcy's work was very well known as he marketed many of his paintings as prints, which were very popular with the public and which were also licensed for use on calendars and biscuit tins. It was estimated that 1 in 10 Australian homes had one of his works in some form.... Read More >>

Anne Marie Graham

Anne Marie Graham has forged a very personal place in Australian art. Her early training in Vienna gave her a strong sense of design, and her work is enjoyed precisely because of her concentration on form and colour for their own sakes. She is not a “naïve” artist in any strict sense, but nevertheless all her works are based on principles of formal simplicity, a delight in linear structure and visual and emotional immediacy....

Victor Greenaway

For me, it is the idea that is the principle element; the material is of less consequence. Where the fine clays of porcelain and bucchero were once my usual media of choice, I found myself looking at other means to express those ideas. Accordingly I set up a painting studio in Umbria Italy in 2007 so that I could concentrate my attention on the 2-dimensional works. While painting has always been a personal and private passion, it in no way replaces or impedes my work as a ceramic artist. On the contrary, it enhances the creative process by introducing new elements to my work such as colour and pictorial expression.... Read More >>

Catherine Hamilton

Much of my work is produced from recollections – recollections of experiences, emotional responses and visual memory. This particularly applies to my portrait and landscape works. I often put together small sketches using pencil, charcoal or pen and ink, initially worked from life. I make a record of the colours; collecting colours from the landscape, the seashore. I set up unusual still life to create ideas.... Read More >>

Steve Harris

“Harris has become well known for his impeccably painted still life compositions, his skilful use of light, shadow and space being a hallmark of his approach. He generally tends to depict objects which have an everyday function or perhaps have even been discarded, but the work is about much more than simple representation. Harris is a master of understated realism which in turn evokes its own sense of ‘atmosphere’ and contemplative mood. His works have been described as ‘meditations in light’; and this is very much the feeling one has when attending one of Harris’s exhibitions – a type of reflective silence emanates from the paintings and imbues them with a spiritual quality that one would not, perhaps anticipate.”...

Annee Kelly

Drawing and painting have always been a passion for me and an integral part of my life. From the beginning of my adventure with art, I have tried different mediums but invariably return to watercolours. The unpredictability and transparency of watercolour together with the constant challenge one faces when confronted with this capricious medium, has always held a fascination for me. Whilst I have painted extensively in Australia and in particular, in rural, urban and coastal Victoria, Europe, mainly France and Italy, have presented me with an endless source of inspiration. Whether it is the assembly of interesting shapes, the harmony of colour, the mood created by a certain time of day, the manner in which the sun dances across the form creating intriguing patterns of light and shadows and transforming a somewhat banal subject into a magical one, these are all triggers which prompt me to try and capture on paper not merely an illustration but the essence of a place imbued by its atmosphere and mystery....

Colley Whisson

I have always felt I was a painter of light, but now believe if my paintings are to succeed I need to be a good painter of shadows as well. When I am on my travels searching for painting subjects, the signal that tells me I have discovered something worthwhile is when I am so captivated by the scene. Recording my response to it, is more important than anything else.... Read More >>

Graeme Myrteza

. My painting skills are for the most part self-taught, I’ve had no real academic training, although I have attended a few art classes at various points in time. From frequent visits to Melbourne galleries I found my heroes of Australian landscape painting to be Hans Heysen, Frederick McCubbin and Arthur Streeton. I just love the way they captured the Aussie bush! Brett never saw me paint, but I know he's with me when I am painting, he has a part in each work I do and that's why I put his initials in every painting.... Read More >>
