Picture
MELBOURNE, VIC (@instagram | facebook)

Picture
TOWNSVILLE, QLD (​@instagram | facebook)
Lauren Jaye Carter is a print artist. Her linocuts explore the relationships between colour, form and construction.

LIZ ​O'BRIEN
Picture
NEWCASTLE, NSW (website | @instagram)
Liz O’Brien is an interdisciplinary visual artist who works predominately in analogue photographic practices. Amalgamating traditional and contemporary photographic processes, O’Brien’s conceptual concerns regarding locational influences on identity, aspects of distance within relationships and experiences of separation are presented in an intimate and reflective manner.

MARGARET ​ROBERTSON
Picture
TOWNSVILLE, QLD (printmaking examples)

RHI ​JOHNSON
Picture
TOOWOOMBA, QLD (website | @instagram)
Dr. Rhi Johnson is a Toowoomba-based practicing artist and lecturer in printmaking. She is interested in the formation of everyday narratives, and how these can be disrupted or subverted visually. Johnson investigates visual cues that can punctuate an environment, object or space of perceived meaning, and in doing so, may allude to subconscious methods of processing information. The artist has a long history of working collaboratively with other artists on a range of different zine, book and 2D media work which has been exhibited both nationally and internationally.
HANNAH ​MURRAY
Picture
TOWNSVILLE, QLD (website | @instagram) 
Hannah Murray is an artist and art teacher who works in a range of mediums, including acrylic, graphite, watercolour pencil and print media. She has experience collaborating with other artists using traditional printmaking techniques, illustration and collage. Drawing inspiration from traditional still life genre, surrealism, botanical illustration and the Japanese ukiyo period Hannah’s work is as much a celebration of place as it is a reflection on the fleeting nature of all worldly delights.
DAVID ​USHER
Picture
TOOWOOMBA, QLD (website | @instagram)

KARRI ​MCPHERSON
Picture
HUNTER REGION, NSW (website | @instagram)
Karri McPherson is a contemporary abstract painter and mural artist. By interpreting and recontextualising her surroundings through bright, geometric compositions, Karri uses abstraction as a mechanism to influence the way that different spaces are experienced. Her designs are heavily inspired by historical art movements, such as De Stijl, Formalism and Cubism, and she is particularly drawn to the unique architectural qualities of buildings within different towns and cities around the world. By creating site-specific artworks, her paintings embody distinct characteristics reminiscent of the environments they reside in. 
LYNN ​SCOTT-CUMMING
Picture
TOWNSVILLE, QLD (website | facebook)
Lynn Scott-Cumming is a visual artist and writer with over forty years of experience in the arts. A sense of place is paramount in Lynn’s painting.

JOELI ​EASTELL
Picture
MELBOURNE, VIC (@instagram | facebook)
Joeli Eastell is a painter and drawer who grew up in rural southern Queensland and who now works from his home studio in Melbourne. His work is concerned with identity in relation to gender and sexuality politics, current matters and quotidian philosophies. Joeli enjoys artistic collaboration as an extension of his exploration of self for its profound insight into previously inaccessible depths.
MICHAEL ​POPE
Picture
TOWNSVILLE, QLD (@instagram)
Michael Pope occasionally has delusions of being a multimodal artist, but he generally just draws. Pope sees drawing as an exercise to see and understand the world, notice the details and engage with others. His works provide a whimsical, contemporary observation of his life.
CAMERON ​FORSYTH
Picture
SYDNEY, NSW (website | @instagram)
Cameron Forsyth is a contemporary artist who works mostly with aerosol and acrylic paints. His paintings are tongue-in-cheek, not-too-serious commentaries about advertising and media. This reflects on his many years working as a radio producer. Forsyth's works are super retro, fluro and full-o-fun.
MARION ​GAEMERS
Picture
TOWNSVILLE, QLD (@instagram)
Marion Gaemers' main field of work is three-dimensional. The artist works with textiles and in basketry, but recently has been using fibre to create more two-dimensional works. Gaemers aims for her work to be environmentally-friendly, working recently with found/recycled net and rope but previously with plant fibres. In the past few years Gaemers has been working collaboratively with Lynnette Griffiths and Erub Arts. She has been involved in large collaboration projects and has exhibited in international exhibitions.
OLY ​KING
Picture
MELBOURNE, VIC (@instagram)
Oly King is a multidisciplinary artist. He enjoys working with textiles; exploring materiality, shape and form through often process-driven making. His work is informed by observation, reflection, time spent in nature and the dichotomous connections forged between physical and ethereal worlds. King has recently been involved in multiple collaborations, which have inspired him to incorporate collaborative work further into his practice.
