Brief Description: David is a self-taught visual artist producing
large-scale oil paintings on masonite in an abstract expressionist
style, inspired by the Australian landscape and aerial and geospatial
photography. He uses fine brushwork to build up passages of colour,
often taking many months to complete a painting. He also creates
visually stunning works on mirror glass by grinding away the mirror
coating and painting on both sides.

I am an Indigenous artist who has a strong cultural association to the SE coast of NSW.
I paint stories and images that relate to the land and sea. I am able to transpose stories by using a combination of traditional and contemporary symbols.

Brief Description: As an artist, illustrator and writer I am interested in integrating words and pictures and making imaginary worlds with both. I have a B.A. in Visual Arts from the UNSW, Sydney and have worked for over 20 years variously as an artist, freelance illustrator, cartoonist, art tutor and in community art (murals). I have lived on bread and cheese in every country in western Europe, fallen in flooded streams in New Zealand, been ski touring in Australia and Norway and have only been lost in a blizzard once.
Highlights of my career range from being a professional fairy to website marketing consultation. I have conducted workshops for school children in writing and illustration.
artwork name: Recorders? Oh no! ink, watercolour, collage & mixed media.
My artwork tells a story in visual language about the interconnectedness between all things. It represents the feeling of the subject. My style is organic and interpretive, in multi-media, with layers and usually with 3Dfeatures.
In my ceramic works, I like the clay itself to be the feature. I feel an obligation to the user of my functional wares that the works be practical and honest, whilst carrying my organic expression. My artclay pieces are often fragile, their delicate nature being a contradiction-in-terms of the endurance and toughness of clay. I like all my work to invite a tactile response. I hope they bring an earthy element into the places they will occupy. I aim to invoke connectedness with the elements, and with our place in the continuum of all life forms. I hope their quirkiness helps people access a sense of hope in this wild world.

Gary Bell is an Australian artist and writer who, since childhood, has pursued the illustration and recording of colonial Australian architecture and lifestyle in pen and ink drawings (an early colonial art form) and more recently, paintings in acrylic.
During the lead-up to the Sydney Olympic Games in 2000, Gary observed that a number of the liquor licences from old New South Wales country pubs were being sold back into Sydney to capitalize on the Olympic Games. This left many of the old historic buildings desolate and deprived of their character and heritage value. Some have been converted to Bed & Breakfast establishments or adapted to other uses, but many are destined for destruction and redevelopment.
Gary tried to research the history of the old hotels only to find it was not well documented. This encouraged him to start preserving the history and appearance of some of Australia’s historic hotels.

Three Australian historic pub sketchbooks and a number of old pub paintings later, Gary is now expanding his art interests to cover more of colonial Australia.
