David Hinchliffe

David Hinchliffe has had a highly successful painting career spanning over 50 years, with more than 100 solo exhibitions including paintings, sculpture and photographs in locations around the world, he is represented by 13 galleries and dealers in London, New York, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Singapore, Sydney and Perth.

His painting style has been described as ‘contemporary impressionism’. His subjects are principally streetscapes, landscapes and figurative work. David has a unique painting process which he shares at workshops around the world: painting from dark to light; creating figures and form by painting negative space. While he has worked mostly in oils, he changed to acrylics 6 years ago. David believes anyone can paint if they have the right attitude and learn the ‘tricks’ of art.

Painting is magic. All magic is more or less trickery and I firmly believe anyone can learn it. The key is attitude and persistence.

Nick Olsen

Nick Olsen is a Brisbane-based painter who is interested in the built environment and how our living spaces reflect our cultural sensibilities through different times in our history. He uses a focus on light, tone, and colour to elicit an emotional response and a sense of ‘place’ in his work.

Fascinated by architecture and how the built environment can represent moments in time, streetscapes are central to Nick’s practice. Over the years as buildings change and develop, new layers of meaning form, which display the authentic Australian character. Nick particularly enjoys painting the Australian light that forms patterns and shapes across our buildings.

Exhibiting yearly since 1990, his work is held within the Collections of the Gold Coast Regional Gallery, Ipswich Regional Gallery, Redcliffe Regional Gallery, QUT Gallery (Alumni), Museum of Brisbane.

Christine Reilly

Christine Reilly is a respected Queensland artist with nearly 30 years’ experience behind the canvas. Interested in art and design from childhood, Christine began painting in her twenties and went on to teach art and co-own Dabbles on Days and Nakina Fine Art Galleries in Brisbane.

Her work demonstrates a long-held love of travel, peoplewatching, local city scenes and beachscapes. It chronicles not only the progression of her subjects and style but also her own journey as an artist and woman.

The process is the important thing, the struggle, excitement and energy which is so much a part of the creative process can be intoxicating, some subjects become favourites contributing to my personal language and allowing me to indulge in the sheer pleasure of creating.

Charlotte Wensley

Charlotte’s abstract paintings unfold through curiosity, inquiry and a liminal approach to her mixed media work. Collage, printmaking, painting and drawing are integral parts of her working process and each painting is a unique fusion of different materials and techniques. There are no pre-destined outcomes for what a finished piece might look like, instead she balances the accidental and the unexpected with decision making and response, drawing on her knowledge and understanding of shape, colour and technique to resolve each piece. Her creative practice is driven by desire to capture moments of chance encounter with emerging visual elements and materials.

With landscape as my muse and colour and shape as my companions, each painting unfolds through curiosity, inquiry and a liminal approach enabling me to respond to what is happening on the canvas at any given moment.

There are no pre-destined outcomes or plans for what a finished painting might look like. I surrender to the act of summoning imagery from the blank canvas, balancing the accidental and the unexpected with decision making and response, respectfully allowing the painting to find its own way into being. I engage in conversation with each piece until we are both satisfied that there is nothing left to say.

Keith Rowe

Keith Rowe has over 40 years of glass blowing experience. His work falls into four distinct areas - production range, oneoff pieces, commissioned works and art objects.

The skills used by Keith have their roots in the traditions of the Italian masters, being refined in form while still highly decorative. The production ware requires an object to be immediately functional, yet with enough decoration to create contemplation when not in use. The one-off area is a chance for fantasy in form and decoration with the ability to function as a possibility.

My aspiration, whether making the simplest of goblets or the most bizarre of art works, is to create objects that transcend the mundane... this is the beginning and ending of my search for each new design.
