Chester Harris
I spent my youth travelling. I carried a pen and ink and sold my drawings in cafes and bars around Europe to eke out a subsistance. I did illustration for OZ and many other underground magazines in London I lived in a small village on the Costa Brava, Spain through the seventies. In 1980, I moved back to Australia and spent the ensuing years producing posters in a small screen-printing workshop in Northern New South Wales. I undertook some study in visual art at Southern cross University, Lismore.My Tarot is the biproduct of an introspective time in my life when I gathered all of my learned skills and applied them.
Pauline Adair
Hi.... I'm Pauline! People, their expressions, colour, light, shadow...... and how they affect one another....I love to capture all these elements in a painting. I endeavour to paint every single day..... if I don't, I feel that I have wasted the whole day.... I don't want to go to my grave with my paintings still inside me.... or having any paint left over!
Sandra Wilson
I work in most mediums watercolour, acrylic, oil and pastel. I love them all but my preferred medium is probably watercolour.
Sandy Abbott
I grew up in Hawaii living on a beautiful beach. I spent many hours looking at the surf and was influenced by the stunning beauty of the ocean and beaches. I lived in Byron Bay for several years and again was stunned by the beautiful beaches and ocean scenes there too.
Steph Hall
I enjoy experimenting with paint, and discovering new ways it can be used, which has meant my work has varied in style, depending on what I am trying to achieve.
Tara Spicer
Tara Spicer is a local Sunshine Coast artist. Her artworks entice you to discover the beauty and color surrounding us in the day to day as well as the beauty and inspiration that we can find deep within ourselves!
Tracie Worth
I have had a natural ability to draw and paint since I was about 5 years old. My mother gave me paints and paper instead of plastic dollies to keep me occupied. I have been commissioned by numerous interior designers to create art to complete the decor at Sheraton Mirage villas in Port Douglas and private residences in Sydney, Melbourne and the Gold Coast.
