Katarina WellsCeramic sculptor

Katarina’s aim is to express a sense of balance and harmony through her work. She hand builds her pieces over a period of a few days, to allow the clay to stiffen sufficiently, before adding more coils. This slow process fosters an organic growth, allows for time to step back and observe where a piece intends to go.
Terra Sigillata, a natural finish containing very fine clay particles, provides a sensual, tactile surface for much of her work. For many of her outdoor sculptures Katarina uses iron and copper finishes, relishing the rich patinas that develop when exposed to the elements. Inspiration is found in the natural world – the colours and textures of rocks, seedpods, wasp’s nests or shark eggs found on the beach.

Annita Keating

I started as an Art photographer photographing in Black and White, spending many hours in the dark room capturing hints on composition and chiaroscuro for pictorial effects.
Finding a place at the Hawkesbury River i started drawing and painting what i used to do as a child, so more than 25yrs ago i decided to start drawing and painting capturing light and reflections from my surroundings of water, caves and bush-lands.

Gemelle Madigan

Water has always fascinated me. I am mesmerized by the fluidness and the way light skips across and reflects onto the surface. But how to capture this shine? This inner light?
These thoughts lead me naturally to use gold and silverleaf in my work…. i worked on canvas but moved naturally to paper as i wondered how water felt on the inside. I loved the mysteries that were shown to me of this inner world of water using these new techniques…..
