Artist Profiles:

Fiona Joy Hawkins: an artist and composer, Hawkins writes orchestrated classical piano music and uses the manuscript on the canvas, transferring a musical quality through art to the canvas.

Wendy Friend: is a versatile local artist who spent number of years honing her skills and developing her unique style; and works in watercolours, acrylics and oils. Her works are proving to be very popular amongst art lovers.

Elizabeth Haddad: the award winning Haddad’s works are widely collected throughout Australia and overseas, and her new works will no doubt entrance the public once again.

Nigel Gillespie: his distinctive technique and style is increasingly sought after by collectors, both nationally and internationally. The value of his art steadily increases on the resale market.

Françoise Sauvère: studied colour, etching, printing and drawing at the Assenza Meleschule in Basel. Her continual source of inspiration is the varied and contrasted lands of Europe and Australia, resulting in unique and colourful works.

Scott Jackson: his imaginative use of colour interprets the Australian landscape in a modern and seductive style, with energetic and liberal use of palette knives on his oils. Signed limited edition framed and unframed prints are also available.

Mick Jones: loves revealing the unique colours, intrinsic and distinctive character of Australian native timbers, through painstaking hand carving and polishing.

Mark Pryor: Although he works in soft pastels and oils his favourite is the spontaneous nature of watercolours and the often unforeseen effects that can be created. His use of colour and abstraction evoke the energy and power of the image.
