Narelle is a multi award-winning artist with a background in education. Encouraging children through a hands-on approach to express themselves through colour, line, texture and form lead her to using various techniques within each piece of work. Narelle loves nature's design in everyday objects, exploring the complexities of texture, light, shade and reflection whilst blending and layering colours with glaze in an abstract style. The ambiguous nature of her subjects manipulate the perspectives of detail and obscurity. Narelle holds a Bachelor of Arts in Education majoring in Art, and a Bachelor of Education. She completed The Extraordinary Mind Project portrait drawing classes and has been a master class student in the Freedom School with David Giiles. Narelle's work is included in both commercial and private collections nationally, including Robert Juniper's private collection . . . Read More

ARTIST'S STATEMENT My work depicts images as they appear in life. The subject matter of my current body of work is Australian Plants, usually portrayed as black and white images on coloured backgrounds. The less traditional look of these botanical studies is achieved by using large scale canvasses and brightly coloured backgrounds. My works are multimedia pieces.  I draw with liquid graphite and black acrylic ink. I then ‘shade’ the images with graphite and conté. Around these images of plants I paint flat colour. This homage to the original botanical artists of Australia honours their decision to present plants out of context. The art is about the plants, not their setting. My art is about coming to terms with how something . . . Read More

Carol Hazel's "Our Swan After Dark" from City of South Perth from Kerotv on Vimeo.  An article written by multi award winning artist David Giles: Carol Hazel is committed to the practice of painting. From realistic landscapes to contemporary abstract her works take us on journeys to explore what paint can do. A preoccupation with water echoes the longing to live and be, besides the water. With Hazel’s work we are taken there, and then some more, as we are pulled into the pictures which evoke feelings, memories and longings deeper and beyond the mere appearance of things. As we engage with Hazel’s paintings we become embroiled in a deeper level of reality as we are led into an . . . Read More

Artist statement Everywhere I travel I find myself being imbued with a fascination for the birds and flora of that area.  I find that it is the flora and avifauna (birds) that seem to colour my experience of a region and give me a new sense of place. These recent paintings are stories about the places I’ve explored.  Some of the stories are real experiences, some are scientifically factual, others are anecdotes I learned along the way, and some are whispers given to me in that quiet moment when I found myself alone and all I could hear was a beautiful song. As the personalities and spirit of the birds emerged from the canvas some words soon followed.  . . . Read More

My paintings float freely between representational and abstract. The colours, texture, and techique reflect the emotions assocated with each art piece. My abstract paintings are impulsive and intuitive. I work directly onto the canvas without prelimary drawings or studies. This accounts for the freshness and immediacy in this artwork. In my representational paintings, I start with preliminary drawings and studies. Once the initial image is created on the canvas, I allow my intuition to freely guide the direction the piece takes. The passion to be creative is what motivates me to be an artist.

My art is a love affair with colour ,whimsy and life. Acrylic paint is my medium of choice, but I also draw into my paintings with pencils, pens and pastels, and I use collaged paper, fabric and little 3D pieces in many of my works. Currently I see my work as a celebration of life as a wife and mother of four, blissfully creating art in the midst domestic chaos. My images have an innocence about them that is a direct reference to my days watching my children interact and play. Imagination is a huge factor in my works and how frustrating it is as an adult to try and recapture the imagination that is so woven into a child’s life . . . Read More

Born in Perth, Andrew began his interest in the visual Arts from a young age, drawing inspiration from illustrated encyclopaedias, nature & from his immediate gold mining environment in the Goldfields of Western Australia where he spent most of his childhood. In 1978, he enrolled in a water colour painting course held in Boulder by the artist Walter Terrell. His paintings were sold to local citizens and tourists, looking for representations of local landmarks such as goldmine headframes and rustic buildings. Many of the structures were being ‘progressively’ demolished as part of the expansion of open pit mining around the Kalgoorlie-Boulder area.
