Leya Evelyn
.Abstract paintings are about explorations, possibilities, imaginings and openings. The work considers the painting
process, the marks, the color and the impact of these to be image itself, without literal references
Brenda Peck
Although I do some drawing, most of my work is abstract painting. At times it can also be
figurative. The mediums I generally use are acrylic paint, ink and torn paper on canvas.
Cathy McKelvey
I’m inspired by nature but I paint from within. Mark making and colour
are my main tools. I’m after a feeling.
Sally Hutchinson
I work in acrylic, mixed water media and oil to paint from alternate voices...some known, and some not.
Patty Toner
Inspired by nature and the energy of the natural world, Patty incorporates colours, textures
and shapes into her abstract pieces with a goal for you to feel that energy in each one.
Nancy Howard
I generally approach painting in an instinctive and abstract way, letting the
process of painting unearth the direction it needs to go, revealing texture and
energetic mark making along the way.
Debby Finkbeiner Austin
I work in acrylic and create colourfields that are inspired by landscapes and colours that surround us.
