reality become entwined.

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. |

| 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 |

Kerrie Warren's work is Abstract Expressionism - through her work shr explores the spontaneous energy of life that stirs and shifts within the landscapes that surround me. 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.
