ELISABETH LAWRENCE

I sometimes think there is a bit of nomad in me as I’ve changed my address so many times. I’ve lived in Europe as well as diverse areas of Australia including the Simpson Desert and Kakadu National Park. For now I’ve settled in another beautiful place of Australia, the Sunshine Coast hinterland.
My studio overlooks the iconic Glass House Mountains, giving me a connection to endless sky and land which I love. The vastness encourages my thoughts and ideas. In my current work I use this powerful environment and play with it by contradicting both realistic and non-realistic themes.
My work develops in series which reflect my changing thoughts and stories as I grow up. Each new storyline in my work comes from a variety of different sources. Often they come from thoughts and feelings, reflections on my own life journey, as well as little objects which I’ve collected. I compose these in an antithetical style which becomes a narrative.

I consider myself a story teller; a fabulist.

SUSAN WEBB
Many styles of art from differing cultures and times have provided impetus for Susan’s ideas and processes. In her art practice she has concentrated upon drawing, design, painting, portraiture and various forms of abstraction.
Pattern, detail, a richly-worked surface and vivid colour are strongly recurring elements in her work. Interests which find expression in her work tend towards formal elements and principles.
Recently she produced a series, ‘Deco Echo’ referencing the Art Deco style, the works meticulously executed bold designs based on still-life themes.
Currently she is exploring abstraction within a still-life context in gouache on paper.

ADRIAN RAYSMITH
Adrian’s paintings transcend mere visual appeal, immersing viewers in a rich tapestry of narratives woven through diverse subjects and themes. From the ocean to the rustic charm of the outback and the nuanced dynamics of suburbia,
each piece invites exploration and reflection. The vibrant colors and intricate details serve not only to captivate the eye but also to provoke thought, encouraging the audience to engage with the stories that unfold within each composition.
Through masterful construction and a keen eye for storytelling, Adrian’s works become a dialogue between the artist and the observer, prompting personal interpretations and emotional responses that linger long after viewing.
