About the artists
Anthony Van Lam
As a watercolourist, I strive to create beautiful organic shapes representing healing and wellness through an exploration of lines, silhouettes, and colour. I also create with mixed media and use the beauty of shapes, flowers, and animals as multiple transparent layers in a composition, blended to generate deeper meanings.
Arvee Gibson
My work focuses on character art and surface design. Whether it's a simple pattern or complex illustration, I love creating artwork that allows people to see themselves reflected in it.
Camrym Smith
My work is inspired by the heady colours of Australia's native fauna and flora. I combine colour, texture, symbolism, layers, and detail in a work that’s bold and vibrant.
Julie Ellitt
I love photographing flora and fauna; nature and animals are very close to my heart. My art and photography are my words. I hope my art speaks to people and that they enjoy how I see and feel about the natural world that we live in.
Katie Lloyd
As a visual artist working with watercolour, acrylic, and pen, I’m influenced by themes of gender, identity, sexuality, nature, beauty, and the female experience. I explore using textures and layers of paint, with emotive saturated colour and gradients of light to create an essence of the divine in my representational and figurative works.
