Guzaliya Xavier

Colors of Cotton Candy

76 x 76 cm

Acrylic on canvas

Guzaliya Xavier is an award winning Australian artist who paints highly textured, geometric art abstracts. Having a strong analytical mind, she likes to organise time, space, information and… marks on canvas in particular order.

Guzaliya’s art takes the viewer into a fascinating world of optical illusions. Particular effects are achieved by introduction of rhythmical repetitions and drastic or balanced transitions in tone or colour. Some of the artworks glow, some disrupt the vision and make it hard to interpret it in a conscious way. Some of them look like visual puzzles.

Her art has an impact on a viewer: hypnotising, meditative, calming, intriguing, and even obsessive. Each painting reveals something new the more one looks at it.

Anica Amphlett

Yellow-tailed Black Cockatoo

36 x 54 cm

Watercolour on paper

Anica finds inspiration through the intricacies of the world around us. Motivated by her love of learning about the hows and whys of nature, she strives to paint mainly Australian birds, flora and landscapes with an underlying understanding of their being.

Whether the subject is portrayed in detail or not, it is important to capture its essence. This way, she hopes to express the emotion involved, evoking a positive feeling for the viewer.

Anica believes watercolour to be the ultimate medium that helps to create a good mix of spontaneity and detail, all aiming to bring the subject to life.

Sarah Jane

Body Bloom XI – Sultry Woman

101 x 152 cm

Mixed media on canvas

Sarah Jane is a cheeky, fun artist who loves getting messy with on-trend colours to create huge soulful artworks.

Having a fascination with people and a passion for modern design, her two loves collide in a powerful visual expression of abstract figurative painting. This encompasses form and colour whilst diving into the depths of exploring who we are.

Sarah Jane focuses on our layers of connection to not only ones self, but others and at times, the world. Looking at our true motives, desires and discovering the rawness of human form as we manoeuvre through the seasons of life.

‘I want you to experience more than just visual beauty. I want to ignite your soul and remind you of who you are in this puzzle of life. To breathe in the colour, to connect with the story. Afterall, an artwork that resonates with us reminds us just how alive we are.’

Our Connection with Water

122 x 152 cm

Oil on canvas

Alanah Jarvis is a water artist whose ocean and rainscapes are collected across the world.

As a washed-up scuba instructor, Alanah knows firsthand the tranquillity that being in, near, under or on water can have on our senses and moods. Through her work, she aims to reflect this serenity and sense of calmness into your space.

Patricia Walsh

Night Surf Byron 2

30 x 30 cm

Acrylic on board

Contemporary seascape painter Patricia Walsh is based on the NSW North Coast. She draws inspiration from the extraordinary beauty of the Byron Bay coast and hinterland.

‘Each painting resonates with stories of Byron, as I respond to the sounds, the windswept seas, the changing light, the energy and the freedom. It’s a breathing space that feels a world away from reality’ says Walsh.

Patricia represents these land and seascapes with a particular focus on tone, texture and colour to create her atmospheric abstract impressionist paintings.

A third generation oil painter, Patricia connects traditional technique with contemporary practice. Exhibiting regularly, her works are held in numerous art collections.

Tim Graham

After the Rain, Red Hill Brisbane

50 x 60 cm

Acrylic on canvas

Tim Graham is an impressionist painter working in acrylics. He finds inspiration in the leafy inner suburbs of Brisbane.

‘I am fascinated with these inner city streets as they make a great subject for a painting. Old Queenslander homes often high up on hills, old churches, narrow lanes with broken fences, trees in flower all encroaching onto the modern city, it really is a world of the old and the new.’

Tim’s paintings are full of colour as his pictures express joy and happiness sometimes with a hint of nostalgia as they reflect on times gone by.

Stephanie Laine

Smrti (meaning mindfulness)

122 x 122 cm

Acrylic on canvas

Smrti is a painting from Stephanie’s latest series called Citta, meaning mind and emotion in Sanskrit.

‘My intention for this series is to explore the interplay of mind and heart (thought and expression) in my creative process. As with many of the Arts, the development of technique and practice over many years forms a sound stage on which expression can dance. My body and senses have developed a familiar relationship with my ‘tools of the trade’, the consistency of paint, the drag of the brush, the timing….

There’s an inner sense, or knowing, that evolves from practice that allows the mind to rest. If I can get out of my own way and trust in this relationship, then space opens for intuition to rise and guide the process.

My hope for this series is that you can rest in the technique but more importantly, that you can feel the heart and creative expression, as this is where authentic connection and joy reside.’
