Judy Bourke I’m a printmaker, sculptor, creator of artist’s books and textiles. I use recycled materials as much as possible. Recycled electronic waste and commercial packaging interests me. My work is also inspired by relationships, community events, found materials, seascapes and landscapes. Colour, collections of objects, artist books and boxes, the patterns of landscape and seascape influence my work. Each International Women’s Day I research the story of a woman who has made a positive contribution to the world and create a sculpture to honour that person. My prints are exhibited in International exhibitions in, Spain, France, UK, Netherlands and Bulgaria and in Australia at Brunswick Street and PG Printmaker Galleries in Melbourne. I’m a member of Illawarra Association for the Visual Arts (IAVA) and Warringah Printmakers Studio. I am at the Barracks Art Studios, 1 Church Street Thirroul.

Susan Bromham, Toxteth Pottery My pottery practice has developed over many years working with earthenware, stoneware and mid fired ceramics. My ceramics training, qualifications and experience have been varied and this has provided me with a wide range of skills and practices. Throwing pottery pieces on the wheel is work I find the most engaging and satisfying. I make functional ceramic pieces and focus on creating things that people use and enjoy and I generally develop and make my own glazes. Current work consists of mid fire coffee cups, keep cups, bowls and plates all made in my studio in Austinmer. I have provided coffee cup sets for local cafes to use and supplied work for artists at Thirroul Collective to use to enhance their own handmade work. Toxteth Pottery is a regular stallholder at Coledale Markets. My studio is at 29 Toxteth Avenue, Austinmer

Gail Etheredge I am an intuitive modern artist that works both in acrylic, mixed media and oils to produce paintings. I have attended many workshops over the years exploring different techniques and media and different ways to express myself. I love colour texture and mark marking and have a loose expressive style. I now have my own studio and art gallery in my new home in Coalcliff. My beautiful surroundings feed my art and soul and are expressed in my works that are mainly landscapes or abstracts. I love travelling to many places and creating a series of works that are inspired by my time there. I sell my work from my studio and also at various local art shows and exhibitions I have been part of. I believe there are no mistakes in the creative process just go with the flow and enjoy expressing yourself. My studio is at Cliffhouse Art, 197 Lawrence Hargrave Drive, Coalcliff.

Holly Eva I have been an artist now for the past 17 years. I have so many favourite inspirational artists that I am in touch with and who I follow, but there is one hero that sticks out for me and that is Ken Done. I love his colour and form. I’ve met him a few times and I find him to be so lovely, intelligent and above all honest. Even though each day I wake up and put on daggy clothes get covered in paint I know it’s a blessing to be a painter. I love it all and wouldn't change a thing. I was told in 2004 at the age of 16 that I should stick to sport because that is what I was good at, I always yearned for art and creativity and eventually after a career in dance in 1993 I was 28, I started to paint again and haven’t looked back. Now at 46 years of age I am full time. Art has my devotion and I am hooked, even when things just aren't working this is the challenge, this is art, this is the desire.
Holly works from her studio at the Timbermill 2-6 Molloy Street, Bulli. Contact - 0414894538 www.hollyeva.com Instagram: - hollyeva_art Facebook: - shophollyeva |
Barbara Gray Inspiration comes from nature, gathering sketches on location. Exploring locally or on my travels.
Responding directly to the subject, light, colours, patterns and shapes, gives me pleasure and joy. Observing everyday life and capturing the moment, in paint on paper, canvas or board in a contemporary vibrant style. Experimenting and play is an important part of my creative process. I explore mark making with energetic responses, in oils, acrylics and watercolours. In recent times I am enjoying mixed media. I hold a Diploma in Fine Arts. Have been a finalist in Flow National Watercolour, Ravenswood Australian Womens, Mosman & NSW Parliamentary Plein Air Art Prizes, My studio is at - 704 Lawrence Hargrave Drive, Coledale - No wheelchair access Click here for google maps www.barbaragraystudio.com Instagram - barbaragraystudio Facebook - Barbara Gray Studio |

Christine E. Hill I have always been drawing and painting. I enjoy recording the scene around me; making a sincere representation and attempting to capture the essence of that which inspired me to begin. Hopefully, viewers take from my paintings and drawings a similar enjoyment, and for a few moments are able to contemplate the good things in our world. Living by the ocean, I am inspired by the coastal lifestyle, the ocean and boating activities and this has led to a long involvement with the Australian Society of Marine Artists. But inspiration comes from all kinds of subject-matter and my work could be described as being of a narrative contemporary style. I work in a variety of mediums - watercolour, oil, pastel, acrylic and pencil - always with a strong emphasis on drawing. The beaches and forests around Thirroul are a delightful inspiration. Christines studio is at 2 Roxburgh Avenue, Thirroul.

Jennifer Jackson The images that I make reflect the landscape Places that I have visited, or the local area of the Illawarra are often seen in my mixed media images. Frequently I work on paper but also on canvas. I have a large collection of unframed and framed works. The works can be tiny intimate images to large bold statements. Texture is a major element in my practice. I use collage, found objects and mixed media to create abstracted works. All forms of history and archaeology interest me and was an art teacher for approximately 30 years.
Entering prizes, competitions and exhibitions is part of my practice resulting in 1st prize and medal of distinction for miniatures in the Sydney Royal and a finalist in the Paddington Art prize for landscape for example. I would love for you to visit and view some some of my many artworks in my studio at 5 Southview Ave. Stanwell Tops. www.jenniferjackson.com.au |

Edith McNally was born in the Netherlands in 1949, Edith arrived in Australia in 1952. She was married in 1971, has three adult children and enjoyed a professional career in public education for over 40 years 18 of which as the Principal of Menai High School. Her love of nature nurtured long-distance walking, gardening and bushwalking. Four years caravanning around Australia supported her transition out of her passion for public education and into a passion for watercolour travel sketching and later watercolour painting. Her paintings have become larger as she mastered new strategies for sealing watercolours without the limitations imposed by requiring heavy glass protection for finished works. She is currently exploring the world of abstract art as well as large scale landscapes. Her Stanwell Park Studio, beaches, cliffs and bush provides everything required for a lifetime of painting pleasure. Ediths studio is at 16 Seaview Crescent, Stanwell Park
