Jennifer is an award winning realist artist in the medium of pure watercolour and is influenced by the environment of the Whitsundays where she lives. Rich vibrant colour, reflections, light and shadow, the ephemeral movement of water are all subjects which are foremost in her work. |

The mighty V8's are coming to town! Thirty years ago I would have been agog with excitement. Then there was the fuel crisis. Then there was global warming. Mostly what happens is I just got old. Now I worry about traffic congestion and how I will get to work when Boundry Street is closed. |

Painting and drawing has been a lifetime passion. Heather's goal is to paint something that is pleasing to the eye that gives satisfaction to the artist and the viewer. These magpie geese "posed" for Heather when she visited Billabong Sanctuary recently.

My range of carved shapes is inspired through observing the beauty and grace of Australian animals living and interacting in their natural environment. Styles have evolved over time through learning and developing new techniques and skills, and respecting my tools and materials. While styles may be similar, each piece is unique because of the inherent individual character hidden within each carefully chosen piece of timber. |

The words and music of W G James and J Wheeler's carols evoke Christmas in Australia, and as Christmas comes each year I find myself humming them.

Inspiration comes from the tropical environment around me. We often take for granted nature's simple beauty. How you perceive that beauty is coloured by who you are.

Graeme has lived in Atherton, NQ for 22 years, making a sea change from Melbourne ‘In my art my leaning has always been towards drawing and painting in acrylic although I can work in most mediums. My style has evolved towards bright feel good colours with a sense of quirkiness.’ ‘I have shown my work in many group exhibitions in Atherton and I have received many art awards. My first solo show was in Atherton in 2000.’ ‘The artists who have inspired my work are Kandinsky, Rousseau, Hockney and John Rigby, a Brisbane Artist. I have been interested in art movements such as the Fauves, Impressionism, Baroque and Naïve School. ‘ ‘In the early 1990s I did a ‘How to Paint Course’ at TAFE and I have learnt a great deal from my friends and colleagues in the Atherton Tableland Art Society.’ |

We drew up a short list of exotic places and experiences that might make for a special and unusual Mother's Day, but couldn't help wondering what a Renaissance Lady would make of a Dublin Bus Pass. |

As an artist and as a writer, I am the product of fairytales. What I think, what I see, what I write, is tainted by the hue of fairydust, toadstools and the Big Bad Wolf. |

Having worked mainly in oils before, it is only recently I have been trying my hand at pastel. I have to say I am loving this direct approach to creating a picture. The instant mark making is very satisfying.

Watercolour as a medium is so versatile; it can match a mood and a subject from the softest rose, a small boat out at sea to a bright tropical garden with its colours, myriad shapes and lines. I like to both control the medium and then at times let the water work with the paint. |

Uli Liessmann He is an acute observer of the human condition, and offer, visual images, witty, and at times acerbic, comment on contemporary Australian social mores. An element of surrealism in the drawing is achieved through distortion, exaggerated foreshortening, and deliberated manipulation of perspective, especially with regard to architectural components. Works are richly narrative, and some are composed in an almost iconic manner. His work is bathed in rich, warm colour intensified by the uniform choice of black mount and frame, and every piece will reward the thoughtful viewer with and insight into the layers of meaning which lie beneath the visual image. |

‘Lil Jack’ Horner had been in juvenile detention so long they forgot he was there. One Christmas, while sitting in his usual corner, he put his thumb into his Christmas pie ‘… and pulled out a gun …’ (obviously a small toy cap gun) and said “what a …… boy am I” |

I'm looking at women in the landscape and women as a landscape. Women appear here as a grove of trees (a femine symbol) to remind us of our connection with the Earth and that together we stand strong. |

I am a self taught artist, and work almost exclusively with watercolour in the traditional way, using subtle colours along with strong shading and highlights to create a pleasant image. |

Barbara Pierce An early interest in textiles developed into an interest in combining different materials. Collage is an area which she continues to explore. |

As a small child, my most precious memory of mother's day was picking flowers and fern from the garden, wrapping them with paper and ribbon and giving them to my mother. |

Modern girls! Cinda got saucy, getting fresh with the Prince, but he will still search for her. As for Snowwhite, was it really the apple, or was it the cider that put her to sleep. |
