Arcadian Artists Dural Mosaic Studio

Set amongst natural rural gardens, designed stonework and eclectic ebellishments.

Dural Mosaic Studio is situated in one of the rugged, hidden bushland areas of Dural.

The introduction to visitors is through it’s strikingly inspirational Mosaic entrance.

The natural style gardens have been designed to create large, diverse areas of interest. Sculpture & mosaic installations are combined with native & exotic planting, bush rock & water features.

A family home that over the past five years has evolved and will continue to do so and will continue with Denise guiding the progress.

Denise’s studio space is situated in the very front of the house to capture the northerly aspect and is alive with beautiful finished mosaic pieces, colourful glass, paint & tiles destined to be included eventually in one of her intricate creations.

Our Artists

Denise RobinsonMosaics

Having always been interested in arts and craft, it wasn’t until later in life that the opportunity came to experiment with different mediums. Mosaic has been a big part of my life for the past 15 years, from teaching to creating commission works. My aim with the Arcadian Artists trail is to produce mosaic works in a variety of styles which are also affordable. Looking forward to meeting you at the trail and sharing my knowledge and passion with you.

Rae WoolnoughTextile Artist

Rae’s experiments in felt making explore different techniques and textural directions. Using various processes, she creates artworks, vessels and sculptures that attempt to draw the viewer in to closely examine and explore the finer details of each piece.

Meredith WoolnoughTextile Artist

Meredith Woolnough’s elegant embroidered traceries capture the beauty and fragility of nature in knotted embroidery threads. Through a delicate system of tiny stitches she creates intricate and complex openwork compositions that are then carefully pinned in shadowboxes like preserved specimens.

Carole-Anne LunnGlass artist

My interest in Art & Art History has been with me since school days. In 1995 Curtin University, Perth WA accepted my application to study full time in Sculpture as a mature age student. I was 55. At Curtin I was introduced to the ‘beauty of glass’ and graduated in 1998 with a BA majoring in Glass & Clay.
Since that time my work has received several awards & has been purchased both nationally & internationally.
