terry turner

Terry was born in Melbourne and spent the early part of her life in the bay-side suburb of Williamstown before moving to Geelong and then the Bellarine Peninsula in Victoria.
She trained as a nurse before succumbing to her love of drawing and painting and studied Art and Design at Melbourne's renowned Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology University Art College. This allowed her to further her long standing interest in drawing and painting, especially in oils. Her main subjects have always been the human form, still life and landscapes, with her use of colour and the effect of light prominent influences coupled with inspiration from the classical masters and the impressionists. Now based at Mt Nebo, Terry continues to be inspired by the surrounding natural landscape and her interest in the human form. Regular travels to Japan have seen elements of their amazing culture seep into her recent work. http://turnerfineart.com.au/ |

genevieve jackson
|
Genevieve considers the act of creation to be a potent effector of catharsis. The practice of art facilitates the exorcism of powerful emotions, whether they are tangible or boil up from the depths of the subconscious during the artistic process.
Genevieve works in a neo-primitivist / expressionist style. She derives inspiration from the landscape of the D’Aguilar Range and her subjects stretch in search of the boundaries between entity and environment in landscapes both calm and chaotic. |

Having travelled widely, from the Antarctic to the Arctic, she takes inspiration from the breathtaking beauty of the natural world that surrounds us.

gerry o'connor
|
Gerry has a three-year Tafe Certificate in Studio Ceramics, and has specialised in Raku pottery for more than 25 years. Since Raku became popular among Western potters sixty years ago its scope has been broadened to include sculpture and brilliant glaze colour. He has worked with several Melbourne potters who specialise in glaze and firing technology to solve colour problems in Raku glazes and to refine Raku firing techniques.
For Gerry, Raku also has a deep philosophical base in Zen, which he finds compelling and which influences his work. Zen stresses spontaneity, simplicity and the aesthetics of irregularity and asymmetry as found in nature, as opposed to the aesthetics of balance and regularity as found in most western art. Western Raku is also influenced by Abstract Expressionism, which teaches that an artwork is the product of the individual, the process and the material, not just the product of the dominating will of the artist. Gerry has exhibited regularly in Australia since 1990, and his work was included in several shows in Italy in 1996. His Raku is in private collections in Australia and in many overseas countries. Gerry has written a play that has been performed professionally, and is also a photographer. Two of his photographic portrait exhibitions have been acquired by the Queensland State Library. www.oconnorstudio-art.com Facebook page. O'Connor Studio . |

charmaine darby
|
Charmaine has always taken lots of family and scenery photos, and became interested in turning it into more than a hobby when she exhibited some photos at the Boombana Art Gallery.
She has since done a TAFE course in Photography and plans on doing a lot more of it now that she has reached retirement age and is not so busy!! Her interests in photography are still family, or small children and landscapes or nature, but as she learns more she plans to experiment with other areas. |

punctuated her working life since. In the 80’s, she started off doing Photography at Art College then went on to teach people how to sew and has presented items for the RQ fashion design show. Working in the 90’s, Alicia used quilting and dyeing to achieve unique Australian pieces for the tourist market. She then moved to handmade leather handbags and Calligraphy. In the early ’00’s, Alicia renewed her interest in Medieval enactment and started working with pyrography, winning the Medieval Masterpiece competition associated with the Abbey Medieval Fayre. Now a resident of Mt Nebo, she is a qualified Art Therapist and has worked in many different media, utilising her experience to help people express what they are feeling.

laurine field
|
Laurine has been an artist and art educator since the 1980's, and has exhibited widely throughout Queensland. Laurine's paintings depict the garden landscapes of Brisbane’s Mt Coot-tha Botanic Gardens and The Flecker Botanic Gardens, Cairns. Botanic gardens are dense repositories of the human-plant relationship and are highly cultivated symbols of people’s finely woven connection with the plant world. They are sites of compelling cultural significance, beauty and refreshment. Botanic Gardens are the enduring outcome of the practice of arranging nature’s elements into ideal landscapes and are evidence of people working harmoniously with nature to produce sensory experiences providing visual delight, spiritual refreshment and nature connection. Some of Laurine's works clearly originate from manicured gardens, whilst others appear wilder in form. The paintings present expressive, representational (though not scientifically accurate) views. Artistic influences include: Henri Rousseau, William Robinson and Lucy Culliton. In essence, the paintings capture the enlivening experience of visiting Botanic Gardens, environments that stimulate the mind and restore the soul. laurinefield.com |
