Cheetah Dreams – Acrylic on Hardwood

Alison is an award winning artist specialising in African Wildlife painting as well as equine and companion animal subjects.  Her lifelong passion for animals and nature is evident in her sensitively executed works.

In choosing Cheetah Dreams, Helen Cottle commented “A delightful painting that evokes a sense of wonder and emotion, not to mention the amazing observation skills and beautiful technique of this extremely talented artist. I was very impressed by the softness of the almost abstract backdrop which supports the wonderful attention to detail of the fur and features of the cheetah. A great composition that says it all.”

Geraniums – Acrylic on Canvas Board

Julie is based in Eaglehawk, Victoria where she now focusses on her lifelong passion for painting.  Julie is currently studying at the Academy Bendigo and is a member of the Bendigo Art Society.

Reviewing Julie’s work Rick Matear commented “Cadmium red geraniums draws one into this Klimt and Preston like style of intricate detail. What I most love about Julie’s painting ‘Geraniums’ is the combination of realism, naivety and abstraction. This delicate balance is also found in her other still life and figure paintings.”

Shrouded Cloisters – Acrylic on Canvas

In reviewing Dawn’s artwork, Ron Reynolds commented “Shrouded Cloisters is a moody introspective painting, limited palette of blacks and greys and shapes that are fixed and others moving.”
