CHRIS DOWE

 Artist

I spent my youth in Sydney and studied art at East Sydney Technical College in the seventies. I continued my study with life drawing and pottery classes during my working life. 

My wife and I moved to a rural property in 1990 west of Wingham where landscapes were my inspiration. My wife was knitting complicated and colorful blankets. Her tumbling blocks pattern caught my eye which lead me to many geometric abstracts.

Moving to Elizabeth Beach I have continued with abstracts and local beach and bush paintings

TRISHA FITZPATRICK

Artist

I am an Australian artist from beautiful Blueys Beach, mid north coast of NSW, working from my studio gallery ‘Trisha’s on Blueys’.

My artwork constantly evolves, is sold internationally and has appeared in ‘Australian Artist’.

Creating impressionist abstract pieces on large canvas, with vibrant colour, texture & movement is my pleasure.

I like using a variety of techniques and collaborating with clients on commission work.

I have spent many years in the Newcastle and Forster area by the coast and have always been interested in traditional Aboriginal art.

My works have been influenced greatly by Biripi Artists, Pastor Russell Saunders OAM.

STEVEN LOWE

 Artist

Growing up in a very artistic family I was interested at an early age in observational and impressionistic art.

Growing up near Manly Dam I was always inspired by natural landscapes , forms, colours and light.

This is one of Graham Barclay’s oyster sheds captured by Steve in beautiful light.

CATHIE GARROD

I am an artist and teacher living locally on the Mid North Coast of NSW. I enjoy painting a variety of subjects in preferred mediums of cold wax, acrylics, oils and encaustic.

​

Living in an area of stunning natural beauty, I value and am inspired by it's unique environment.

I hope my artwork reflects this experience and appreciation.

My mission is to awaken your senses, triggering memories often buried deep within.

DEAN HUGHES

My love of art is underpinned by my training in art from St George and Gymea Art Colleges back in the 1980s.

Our beautiful natural environment and the local history of this area provides me with inspiration to complete abstract design and reality works.
