WELCOME

Welcome to the 5th edition of Margaret River Region Open Studios and our rich crucible of creativity. For two weeks of the year the focus of the region turns to art as alongside the wineries and behind the beaches, a multitude of artists open their studios ready to greet you. Its an opportunity to talk with them, learn secrets, explore new techniques, share ideas, admire art, and maybe even own a piece. Frequent visitors will notice a few changes designed to enhance the event experience and its presentation. A big bold new format for the guide giving bigger images for the artists, clearer maps, easier to read copy plus a smart new logo. This is our biggest ever event with 130 artists and it also marks the retirement of our founding chair Bill Castleden. A big thanks goes to Bill, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a true giant of Open Studios and our continued success will only be there because we stand on his shoulders. A big thank you also goes to Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries for being platinum sponsors, the event would not have been possible without their support. Plus a big thanks to all our other sponsors, advertisers, volunteers and of course our tireless board. So set the Sat Nav, fire up Google Maps, and head out on an exhilarating journey into art. Jim Davies Chairman

MESSAGE FROM OUR PATRONS As the founding Patrons, some 5 years ago, of the initial Margaret River Region Open Studios, we are delighted with the success the event has achieved. It started as a creative idea, something aimed at enthusing the artistic community of Margaret River. That and more it has certainly achieved. Congratulations go to our foundation Chairman, Bill Castleden, as he exits from his leading role as the founder of the largest Open Studios event in Australia. Bill has shown outstanding leadership as he hands the mantel on to Jim Davies. This year we have a record number of participants, an exciting programme and some new venues, all of which is sure to once more boost the popularity of the event. It is amazing what the drive, creativity and energy of a few can create, in a short period of time, to benefit the residents, artists and visitors to a small community. To you Bill, and your dedicated team of board members you have the admiration of the entire community, along with the many visitors to the district, in creating and driving such a successful venture in our small community. To the incoming Chairman and board, we wish you continued success in taking this wonderful venture forward. We look forward to a wonderful OPEN STUDIOS event in 2018 that enhances our community, the arts and our many visitors. Tricia and Denis Horgan

HOW TO ‘DO’ OPEN STUDIOS Decide who you will visit – Flick through this Guide and identify which artists you like the look of.

Mark these studios and refer to the map to plan your journey. For additional information and more images, refer to the artist profile on our website.

Plan your trip – We cover a large area so planning ahead is essential. Use Sat Nav or Google Maps to locate studios and for ‘hard to find’ locations check our website or call the artist. Then layout a route to follow.

Be a great visitor – Be respectful and thank the artist for opening their space for the event. Supervise your children and keep them with you while you visit. Always contact the artist first if you would like to bring a dog onto their property.

What to ask an Artist? – Our artists welcome your interest in their work. Below are some great

conversation starters. Art News published a guide on “How to talk to an Artist’ you can find it at www.artnews.com/2005/06/01/how-to-talk-to-an-artist.

What is their process? – How do they make their work? What is in their Artist’s Statement? – This details what the work is about. What is their background and training? – Their area of study or perhaps are they self

taught – this background can give you great understanding about the artist and the work they do. Artists have diverse backgrounds and come to their practice for many different reasons. Please remember that our event celebrates creativity at all its stages. Some of our artists are emerging and others are well established. This diversity is the strength of our unique event and promises countless discoveries for our visitors.

How many visits can I make? – Many visitors find that 5-7 studios in a day allows them time to chat, drive and picnic, some of our locations are open during later time slots, so plan your trip respecting the open times shown. As this is a driving based event remember to plan your trip and drive safely.

HOW TO USE THIS GUIDE Finding the Studios Please use the maps in this Guide as a general indicator to find each venue. For precise locations, use the artist directions on the Open Studios website, phone the artist, and utilise a large scale roadmap or Google Maps.

Signage Look for the Margaret River Region Open Studios sign outside each venue.

Opening Dates and Times Most of the venues will be open from 10am to 4pm or 12 noon to 6pm, but please look at the opening times of each venue as they may vary.

Anderson 2 June Painting/Printmaking/Drawing

Nalda Hoskins 3 Glassmaking/Jewellery/Silverwork

The sense of distance in my work emanates from living in remote areas under canvas for many months of the year. Notes I scribble in my journal as we negotiate tracks often give me the most inspiration. You are very welcome to visit my studio.

In works over a size range, I continue to respond to seasonal changes in nature.

Beginning in 2004, Nalda has continued exploring the beauty of glass bead making (otherwise known as ‘lampworking’). Come and see how glass rods are melted and transformed into beads destined for her eclectic range of jewellery.

Sally May Mills 6 Ceramics/Pottery

I always enjoyed being creative but only found the time to actively pursue art, when I relocated to Busselton ten years ago. During a recent Illustration course I discovered the love for creating detailed black and white pencil drawings as well as simplified ink sketches using mainly animals as my subjects.

Award winning, self taught contemporary artist from Germany. Helga uses rhythm and energy, bringing life to unique and eye capturing paintings. Ranging from mysterious otherworldly creations to cheerful celebrations of life. Come say hello to Helga!

Sally creates contemporary functional ceramics with a considered sense of form and proportion. Her work expresses calmness, joy and simplicity, and seeks to communicate beauty and authenticity. Stay for a chai in the studio garden.

Jennings-Blythe 8 Susan Painting/Printmaking/Drawing

Scaddan 9 Gay Painting/Printmaking/Drawing

Wanda’s award winning work is recognisable by her capture of shadows and confident use of colour. Inspired by the play of light, pattern and form of shadow, Wanda brings landscapes, foliage and still life arrangements to life.

With a love for nature, I create art. This year I have had a particular focus on the impact of plastics in the environment and how many species now live with it everyday, this is incorporated within my animal and landscape paintings. Come and enjoy!

Capturing the landscape in various mediums is a continuing journey with tree and forestscapes being a major part of my art practice. I also like to experiment using texture and playing around with Collagraphs.

Living near the ocean, beach walking is part of my daily routine. Here exists an environment that is never static. The long view of sunrise and sunset contrasts with the tideline where collected fragments of marine life become the basis for mark making on my ceramic forms.

My current body of work continues to be inspired by the beauty and biodiversity of coral reefs globally. Ongoing degradation and pollution threaten these amazing ecosystems. I am creating three dimensional aluminium works depicting their beauty and their degradation.

This year I have included some painting inspired by a trip to Vietnam along with my south west beaches and interiors. Art has been a part of my life for so long. I also sculpt in soap stone which takes many hours to complete one sculpture.

I feel constantly called to reach deeper into soul and spirit to paint portraits and figurative works which awaken and enliven others. My body of work explores the element of ‘the muse’ within other artists, musicians and notable figures in history.

Helen Waterhouse Painting/Printmaking/Drawing With John Garde, I discovered Tonal Realism as means to express the beauty I saw in the world. Now after 5 years this is coming into fruition encompassing additional exploration in vivid colours and forms. T: 0416 186 064

One winter morning I was on the Dunsborough foreshore just as the sun was rising. It was a magical moment. A rosy glow infused everything, even the beach was pink. That moment, has led to exploring the many moods of our beautiful coast. T: 0408 953 884

My focus as a painter is primarily the representation of either personal objects or ones that evoke a strong connection for me through shape, colour or form. Ceramics and old china are common elements in my work representing past and present. Come and visit me in my cosy studio in my old wooden farmhouse.

Mac Lean 27 Leonie Painting/Printmaking/Drawing/

I cannot predict what I will be creating in a decade, next year or even next week! Past works are merely prologue – like a line in a poem or cadence in music – which all makes for engaging artistic journeys. Represented by Gunyulgup Galleries.

We specialise in old-world metalworking techniques and tooling. Gold and silversmithing. Precious gem setting. Workshop tours welcome. Now exhibiting original work by 6 local jewellers.

Leonie has combined her skill as a photographer, her artists’ eye and her love for our local flora to produce a series of photographic montages that showcase the extensive variety of this region’s wildflowers. New outback images this year.

The work represents the disciplines of watercolours gouaches and oils past and more recent, large and small which make up an overview of how I go about painting, with work from Europe which contrasts with my main subject of Australian landscape.

MARGARET RIVER

Treanor Moir 52 Bethany 53 Peter Painting/Drawing/Sculpture Mixed Media/Sculpture/Painting/Printmaking/Drawing My body of work represents a variety of techniques recently acquired as a visual arts student and reflects an understanding of self and a deep love, respect and appreciation of living and working in this little piece of paradise – Margaret River.

Love of country inspires my work, which I’ve created in various media. Subjects vary from landscapes of the North West to seascapes of the South West. My most recent works are native bird watercolours. Welcome to my studio in our bush garden.

Broadhurst 55 Jo Ceramics/Pottery/Sculpture/Stone Carving My figurative sculptures are hand built ceramic pieces, as are my unique birdbaths. All pieces are made onsite and are suitable for indoor or outdoor display.

Jahroc Gallery, 83 Bussell Highway, Margaret River

My paintings are created in an expressionistic style. Approaching a blank canvas without prior idea as to what I will design allows a free flow of emotion and creation. Each artwork is composed using layers of acrylic paint, building the paint up to create a symphony of colour with brushwork.

In residence at Jahroc, David Giles will be presenting and working on his “Solace” series of paintings which highlight a sense of light and spirituality and draw on both contemporary colour field painting and the romantic landscape tradition.

Laurie’s work is held in public and private collections both in Australia and overseas, and his paintings can be viewed at the Clayhouse Gallery Margaret River and Boranup Gallery.

Creating with stitch is my passion. Stitching on fabrics, my photos or etched prints. Inspired by banksia and grass trees, labyrinths and mazes. Help me create digital designs during Open Studios which can be stitched into cushions while you watch.

A celebration of colour, flow, harmony and sometimes symmetry, through passion and imagination. A desire to create happiness and light to all who view.

My love of the ocean has found its way to my new art studio. Finding colour on a pallet and seeing a picture unfold is a wonderful surprise to me. I am constantly amazed at how a picture emerges through patience, bravery and boldness of paint.

Finding the “point de fuite.”

Influenced by my grandmother – a keen gardener, plant lover and painter of wildflowers – I have created a collection of botanical watercolours of both exotic and native plants of this area.

Originally from Italy, I moved to Margaret River to pursue my passion for painting. Largely self taught, I paint in both watercolour and oils, with musicians and dancers the primary focus of my current body of work.

Inspiration comes from Margaret River’s beautiful forests and seascapes. Olivia studied drawing, painting and design at Perth Art School in the early 1970s. Later in life she qualified as a primary school teacher after attending Murdoch University in Perth and spent many years teaching in schools throughout W.A.

Coad’s muted and intense works delve deeper into subconscious thought and uncover an unhindered engagement with the inner-self. Coad’s figures engage with outer situations, rather than with the viewer.

I am constantly inspired by the natural beauty of my surroundings and my art reflects this love of nature, expressed with the use of vibrant colours. I paint what I see and feel at any particular time in a spontaneous and experimental approach.

Award winning artist Peter Scott exhibits at his Studio Gallery, Margaret River Studio of Fine Art.

Dariya Gratte Ceramics/Pottery Endlessly inspired by the intricacies of nature; I particularly love the play of light on water and the patterns it creates. Most of my work is created from fine porcelain, which is formed into simple shapes using a pottery wheel.

Francois & Nicholas Payet Jewellery/Silverwork Francois and Nicholas have been handcrafting jewellery for over 30 years, drawing inspiration from their natural surroundings.

James 99 Sam Painting/Printmaking/Drawing

An emerging English artist, has exhibited Brick Lane Gallery, London and twice enjoyed the Global Art Agency. Proudly a mostly self-taught painter, with life drawing tutoring, she experimentally paints anything from abstract, impressionistic styles to bold figurative art, in many media, drawing some inspiration from her travels.

Affinity with Landscape. In this series of paintings I seek to convey the feelings experienced whilst walking many long distance trails amongst vast and isolated landscapes.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a contemporary realist painter working primarily with acrylics/oil on canvas. I focus on subjects close to my immediate environment which include still life and landscape. I am influenced in part by pop culture and by the work of artists I admire.
