2 16 Fordham Drive, Swan View WA 6056 STACY GARDOLL - Oil Painting T: 0430 611 463 E: [email protected] W: stacygardollart.com Stacy paints from her home in the Perth foothills. She paints contemporary realist paintings of natural themes, predominantly botanicals and landscapes. She strives to capture the calmness and stillness of nature, as a source of reflection and meditation, and as a respite from the busyness of domestic life. She finds endless inspiration in the natural world, and is particularly drawn to the shapes found within botanical forms. Stacy also engages in large-scale projects, including murals and theatrical scenic art. Her style for these projects, is best described as bold and joyous using high-contrast, saturated colours. These combinations heighten the overall effect of the work, and create drama and impact.

STEPHANIE BLAKE - Painting T: 0433 092 976 E: [email protected] W: sjblake.net Stephanie is a Perth based artist who paints small painterly portraits of children. She has previously worked as a set and costume designer in the theatre, working both nationally and internationally.

This allows me to work on my own drawing skills exploring new possibilities and pushing boundaries to the breaking point. When sculpting I draw on my jewellery making background creating what I call “house jewellery”.

When Rachel is painting, the end result is not planned, she “just starts,” allowing intuition to take over. It could be due to the walk she had that morning, a scent or a photo that she took as a reference that evokes a memory. It comes from within. “Art is a part of me, it’s where I can express a visual dialogue about my experiences, subconscious and surroundings”. Rachel’s work is included in private collections in Australia and overseas. S S M T W T F S S

8 Log Cabin Art, 215 Ryecroft Road, Darlington WA 6070 IAN KAY - Sculpture T: 0419 119 810 E: [email protected] One time forest ranger, journalist and manufacturer Ian has a special knack of re purposing materials. Visual Art has always been a creative outlet and Ian is now focused on developing his flair in three dimensional creation. Ian’s interest in the discards of life has helped him accumulate a plethora of found objects in which he can see some artistic opportunities. In his re-jigged studio, Ian’s saved timber and metal treasures become the basis of ideas that begin to fester until a sculptural image evolves. Pencil sketches hold the key until time and the urge collide.

GRAEME PAGES-OLIVER - Sculpture/Printmaking T: 0409 082 696 E: [email protected] W: pajez.com.au “I can’t remember a time in my life when I wasn’t creating art. The creative process has been a part of my life, from childhood, through a career in art education and now semi retired in Darlington.” Through his studies Graeme was drawn to printmaking, and in particular silk screen printing, as a means of expression. It is a technical and process driven way of creating art, which he enjoys. It seems the more complicated he can make the production process, the more he likes it. This, along with his interest in technology, photography and drawing has formed the basis of his art work.

Portraits make up the bulk of her painting hours, but are painted to commission and always moving. Nothing is exactly as it seems, landscapes marred by graffiti, faces contorted with wry expressions.

You will often find Sue in her studio bending and forming resin into interesting shapes, creating unique vases, sculptures and wall art. Sue’s art begins in the form of liquid. When semi cured it is then moulded into shape. By the very nature of resin and how it moves, no two pieces will ever be the same.

They are also an invigorating, process-driven adventure in semi-abstraction, informed by his large scale, non-representational work, and the desire to interpret and react, rather than reproduce. Ric began delving into abstraction a few years ago in an attempt to ‘loosen up’ and paint in a more reactive way, and to work without knowing too much about the ending. It is this aspect of abstraction that still motivates him to wander off into the unknown, to explore new problems and find worthy solutions. S S M T W T F S S

ROSEMARY HAMERSLEY - Textiles T: 0407 037 890 E: [email protected] Having lived in the hills most of my life, connecting with the forest through my art is the story I want to tell. Using Rust and Eco Dying has given me the opportunity to develop my textile art, often discovering each piece has a story of its own, and that it is my role to be custodian of that story. The story can be hidden in the dyed cloth and, through embroidery and embellishment, is revealed. Wandering often gives me ‘finds’ that later become Incorporated into my art. Inspiration can be found in the simplest of things, by accident or by design.

For this open studio event he is concentrating on ceramic sculptures. A recent trip to Turkey sparked an old interest in archaeological finds from antiquity, particularly fertility gods from Sumeria, Akkadia and Babylon. This interest led to research of similar artifacts from other cultures of the same era, roughly 2,000BC. These simple yet challenging objects have been an exciting introduction to sculptural techniques and ceramic intricacies. Unearthed at grave sites, domestic foundations and temple complexes these sculptures have caused much debate and conjecture as to their religious and cultural significance.
