Hans Breuer & Sharon Habib Sharon is influenced by the textures nature creates in decay. She uses layers of texture and a limited colour palette, creating depth and intrigue by removing material off the canvas, leaving scars that reflect the decay of what once was. Hans Breuer is a painter, sculptor, and conceptual artist. He has painted mainly with oils on large canvas using “wet-onwet” technique.

Anni Hunt Anni has always had a good eye for subtle changes in colour. Her thirty years in “grayscale” imaging in medicine has homed these skills to a finer degree. She is pleased to be able to apply that in stitch with the use of fibre and threads to create a rich and colourful texture reflecting nature in her work.

Michael Jeffery Abstract painting is what interests me. I use line to create form, the grid as an emblem of modernism, and colour for spatial effects. My works are intended to be thought-provoking, aesthetically pleasing, and worthy of repeated viewing.

Gordon Davis Gordon paints for leisure and enjoyment. He uses lots of colour, no clouds or dull grays and his theme is always “Happiness Reigns”. Like someone said “I don’t know what it is but your paintings make me feel good”. Most of his work is pleine aire landscapes and flowers, the things people hunt to see. Gordon verges on the side of expressionism pushing a little away from reality.
