I engage my experiences, interpreting, capturing, and sharing them through various mediums. Although I predominantly use paint I also love to sculpt and write.

Janine Riches Through my work I wish to communicate my deepest feelings about life in a subtle and almost camoflaged effect. I believe if the viewer is tuned into the painting the philosophy behind it will be recognised. I use painting as thinking time and whatever is happening in life at that time is locked into each individual work. When I look at my work later, feelings are triggered; the paintings represent a diary to me.

Lance Rogers Lance Rogers is an highly respected, award winning Gippsland artist, acclaimed for his watercolour and oil paintings. His works are in collections in Australia and overseas
Karin Ryan Karin Ryan was born in Germany and migrated to Australia at the age of eight. She started drawing from the moment she could hold a pencil in her hand and soon became a compulsive doodler. This translated, in later life,to a passion for drawing and painting. In essence I am a self-taught artist and have dabbled in naive art long before I knew that it existed as an official form. I find myself drawn in this direction as it lacks the restrictions of realistic painting. It allows me to explore the realms of the imagination and to combine unassociated and often incongruous ideas. For me, this is its particular charm. Karin has been painting naive landscapes since 1991 and illustrated children's books from 1987- 96. In recent times, she has revisited her fascination with line-work and has found her niche in the medium of etching
Leonie Ryan Leonie Ryan works in 2 and 3-D Sculptural Photography. She constructs two and three-dimensional photography, explores and creates images that we believe exist though cannot see. Her work is contemporary, innovative and of a metaphysical and philosophical nature. Her aim is to break boundaries of conventional photography, and continue producing fine conceptual art for many more decades.

This style of work is also known as Action Painting, it is a physical, mental and emotional process where instinct and passion is predominant. The Australian Landscape forms the basis for most of her subject matter as this is where she is happy to lose herself and this is where she feels most connected. Through movement, mood and colour, she builds layers of depth and texture that reflect the energy, excitement and love she feels for her environment.
