Burnished Bowls
Petrus Spronk describes himself, not as a ceramicist or potter, but as a ‘traveller’, who records his journey in clay.
“Each bowl I make represents a discovery, a step along the way. Each bowl also represents a brief pause, a moment of reflection. It tells me where I am on my journey…”

Barbara Hauser
Barbara’s trademark style is painting with acrylics on printed fabric. The colourful fabric in the background is typically blended into the core subject, adding another an interesting element to the painting. This method of painting on the floor means that she can create a ‘studio’ anywhere in the world

Garth Horsfield
Acrylic paintings
A figurative artist at heart he likes to study the human form, and has a fascination with the power and grace of the trained dancer. He combines a contemporary view with various painting styles in order to provoke social commentary, and thematically often strays into territory of the ‘darkly beautiful’
Sharryn Jenkinson
Oil on canvas… paints with her hands!
Sharryn loves to paint clouds…
“I am a bit obsessed actually. Just when I think I am done with clouds I walk outside and get inspired all over again. I want the viewer to feel like they could step into the canvas, feel the salty breeze of an approaching storm.”
Peter Kirk
Acrylic on Canvas – Peter believes that his success as a painter relies on his love of learning, his personal drive and his curiosity and ability to capture true feelings in his work that connect with the viewer. He has a passion for painting which he describes as a physical pleasure that runs alongside his
desire to represent himself and his ideas. He is unwilling to limit himself to one style, one specific pursuit or one thematic search in order.

Pamela Orola
