Three Small Stories
SEPTEMBER 2021
Julie Poulsen’s instinctive creativity, curiosity and feel for colour, texture and composition shine through her latest collection; Three Small Stories. Elements of everyday scenes take on a life of their own in this collection of works, encompassing visual narratives around sunny days at the beach, life on the land and still life within the home.
Ethereal Skies

Vaycay
NOVEMBER - DECEMBER 2020
Travel outside of our State or Country is off-limits in reality but not for the imagination. Our holiday plans of vacays to the wintry peaks of the Swiss Alps or the sandy beaches of Bali are now the stuff of daydreams for the moment. They say the sky’s the limit but not for us - so let’s journey to wherever our minds take us.
Fishing for Landscape

Pop!
SEPTEMBER - OCTOBER 2020
Think Yayoi Kusama or James Rosenquist. In our world that’s at times almost hyper-real, hi-fi and synthetic-aesthetic, we are exploring all things pop culture and pop art; projecting bright, dynamic themes to reflect this HD, 4K reality and its underlying notions.
Halcyon Earth
JULY - AUGUST 2020
Monique Morter’s ethereal, effervescent landscapes are akin to the stuff of dreams. In her newest collection of works, Monique depicts the rocky boulders of the Australian landscape, transformed into crystalline beacons of wonder and fantasy.
NUGU GUWAN

Botanics
FEBRUARY - MARCH 2020
With the recent devastation that has been and still continues to ravage significant areas of our country, the way we interact with our world is changing. These works are a vessel of inspiration, compelling us to admire, take care, and inject our own beauty into the world in which we live, and the spaces which we inhabit.
