My art and design works are photographic images which I choose to use either traditionally or to form the basis of contemporary and composite pieces. I love the sense of being able to construct pieces to my own design as a painter may do, but also work with the more formal photographic works as produced 'in camera'

All my works are available for sale printed on either canvas, specialist photo paper or fabric and can be printed to a range of required sizes.

POA

Judy is a watercolour artist whose favourite subjects are landscape and still life.

I started painting about 8 years ago with no prior knowledge or experience. My interest developed after trying to help my disabled daughter, Kimberley. She has now retired but I found I like to paint.

My style is still developing and I have experimented with all mediums. Currently I like to paint wildlife in a realistic style, however this concept can be demanding and requires a lot of research into the anatomy of the particular animal being painted and concentration to get the right composition, structure and colours.

Botanical portraiture / Works in ink.

I have been painting and drawing animals for many years, enjoying a successful career in the UK. Moving to Australia quite a few year ago offered new opportunities and challenges, taking part in workshops, exhibitions and classes to learn new techniques and media, and make friends. In recent years I have really enjoyed improving my skills with coloured pencils, I find they are really suited to fur, eyes and noses! I now undertake regular commissions, work with a local artisan food producer on illustrations of animals and food, and enter a few art exhibitions and events when I have work available.

I am a recycle metal artist , I make my art from reclaimed metal objects. Started as a personal hobby for me , and now I have such a strong passion towards metal art.30 years in the metal industry has enabled me to gain the skills , to become the artist I am today.

I am a potter & clay artist enjoying all facets of clay work. I have a small studio 1km north of Montville Village.
I welcome visitors by appointment to my studio or on my weekend open days. I love answering questions about how my pieces have been made.
Recently I have been making bespoke dinner sets for some of my clients which is a new avenue for me. Would you like something made especially for you?

Blacksmith who loves creating sculptures, functional art and wearable art.

I have always loved art, creating portraits in charcoal since forever.
In recent years I have broadened subject content to include seascapes, pet portraits and florals as well as figurative work.
My medium of choice is oils, but I at times I also paint in acrylics.
I now live on the magical Sunshine Coast and love travelling, both of which provide me with sources of inspiration.

Cathy specialises in big wave paintings, seascapes featuring the local Sunshine Coast beaches, and, more recently abstract compositions. Her preferred painting medium is acrylic on canvas.

I am a contemporary painter working in Maleny. My arts practice explores the relationship between painting and photography, and how each of these complicates our interpretation of how we think we see. My paintings use the temporality of hand to entice the viewer into the photographic nature of the works, only to then hopefully open a more meaningful dialogue regarding how we 'process' what we see.

Working across new media, ceramics, painting and installation Turner's work evokes the landscape of her childhood: central Queensland, a place of dry grass, listless cattle and the scorching sun. Poignantly, memories of bodily responses to this landscape form the foundation of Turner's work.

Most of my images contain figurative and ornate decorative elements. Some of my works turn word play into visual statements.

I find that drawing is the most direct medium for conveying my visual intention and idea. One chance with one pencil - with help from an eraser.

Printing involves three stages: inscribing the image, 'biting' the drawn plate and then printing the art work.

Making the handmade books involves creating making book size prints for the cover, finding beautiful fabrics plus papers to complete the journal

Welcome to my space!
Creation has always been a part of my life. It is my soul's voice. I have no more logical way to describe it as it takes me on journeys that require no words to beautiful realisations and wonderful insights. Over the past ten years my work has gone through many phases but I always come back to drawing with a pencil! It is the thing that lets me find the quiet place with no words that the next story flows from.
My most recent story began with a request to draw a paper plane in space and ended up with images about memory, connection, Freud and of course the purpose of living. There are also lots of inner goddess images about moving through those ideas. It paralleled moving homes and beginning in a new community. Art does that: journal life in the moment.

Fibre has always held a special allure for Liz and she likes nothing more than incorporating special pieces into her work. She has recently started adding metal elements enjoying the play between such diverse materials. She also enoys ecodyeing and felting and marrying those interests.

Bronwyn Brands recently moved to Maleny from Brisbane and is enjoying the vibrant arts community on the Range finding it both stimulating and supportive
