Work by Dawn Brooks
Dawn Brooks – Printmaking
I am drawn to objects that in part of their existence have been encased &
protected by another - the transition from concealing to revealing is the
inspiration for mark making and my use of a combination of printmaking techniques
including mono and screen printing.

Gabrielle Naptali – no it u lovE
Ceramic sculpture, animation installation "I would package self confidence
with contentment in a box made of excitement although there must always be
an element of terror" This totally new work comes from realisation of my own
mortality.
Sculpture by Tracy Himsworth
Tracy Himsworth – Sculpture
I gather the materials often unwanted discarded objects such as industrial
and agricultural machinery and my work is a process of intuitive, unpredictable
assemblage, the moment when clarity disentangles chaos and physical sensation
takes on a visual presence.
Portait by Patrick Burke
Patrick Burke – Painting
My work is influenced by intimate human emotions, the paintings of Mark Rothko,
the words of Anne Frank, and the amazing energy we call life.
Photographs by Julia Gatie
Julia Gatie – Photography
“As an artist my work is predominately photographic tending to work with themes
linking to the human experience”. These are straight photographs based on
the experience of aging in contemporary society that explore the complexities
of the human condition and the modern world in which we live.
Work by Helen Donnelly
Helen Donnelly – Painting
My painting is inspired by the landscape of my close environment, exploring
different ways of expressing the moods and feelings evoked by landscape, capturing
the spatial atmospheric qualities in the shifting movements of light colour
and shape.
