CHARLY HUBIS Artist Painter and Glass artist.
Charly has been called a portrait painter, but he insists that he is not that. " I love to paint expressions, joy, intensity, hope and occasionally sorrow.
I do not specifically try paint a persons face, although when I see someone with an interesting expression, it usually burns an image into my mind.
I paint from these mind images occasionally changing them as the medium demands.

RALF KEMPKEN Artist
I have been exhibiting in Melbourne for the past five years. The works deal with aspects of memory, of places and faces in the not so distant past.
Buildings and urban landscapes are part of a city's collective memory. Many people know these places. The pictures act as emotional triggers for the viewer's associated memory.
The works are produced with multi layered stencils/screens, aerosol paint and acrylic brushwork. The use of the hand coloured
stencil goes back to the turn of the 1900's when many posters, cards and brochuers were produced by what was then known as "pochoir" (french for stencil) method before the development
of offset printing. In a contemporary context the stencil appears all over Melbourne's inner city streets and laneways as streetart.
I have work in the public collection of the City of Yarra and the City of Melbourne.

TRACY DODS Artist
Dods’s Pursuit Of Corporate Angst Warns Us All
Tracy Dods's paintings merge acute social observation with poignant symbolic metaphor to illuminate the heart of the contemporary condition. The results are expressed in colours which are bold, true and beautiful. Her work is thoroughly infused with her unequivocal commitment to human freedom. She is an artist for our time.
"Although Tracy paints pictures of people walking into the sea, you know that this is a slightly dreamlike scenario, but it is also about an internal state, about loneliness, the possibility of self destruction. But for me that's almost too bleak for them, I liken them to perhaps Corbet or Casper David Fredrick's Figure on the mountaintop. This is the figure poised between being and not being... on the edge of consciousness which is a slightly more positive way of looking at humanity in the great void, the great cosmos." - Antony Bond, Assistant director of AGNSW

Helen Norton Artist
Helen Norton left home at sixteen to spend the next ten years working and living in the most remote desert locations in Australia. Not intending on becoming an artist, her ambitions focused on immersing herself in as much adventure as was possible to extract from life. She met her husband to be in the North West, and this led to a reluctant putting down of roots for a while in Broome. However the frustration of being stuck in Broome, led to her picking up the paintbrush to create a continuing invention of adventures on the canvas.
Norton continued her travels throughout the Kimberley, Pilbara and overseas. She used the experiences to inject her artwork with more complex layers of narrative. Her work gained acclaim quickly, and led to commissions from Qantas to paint two front covers for their in-flight magazines, an exhibition on the QE2, and exhibitions in London as well as successful exhibitions in Melbourne and Sydney.

Di Taylor Artist Di Taylor is so passionate about the artwork she creates, you can feel it when viewing her paintings without even meeting her. And behind her passion to create art, is her love of life, colour, the beach, people, and travel which then turns into a burning desire to get it all onto canvas.
“I see beauty in colour everywhere and want to master it, put it down in large swabs of colour, on the canvas, or wall, or the floor. Showing movement and colour is what drives me whether it is figurative or landscape.”
