SALife Emerging Artist Award
Feature Artist
This year’s SpringART is very excited to
have the artist Will Nolan and his urban
landscape photography for our feature
works. Photography is an exciting
medium, which is developing as an
important art form for the Twenty First
Century. Will is a young and talented
photographer who has received much
attention early in his art career.
Will originally studied drafting but
decided that he wanted a more
creative focus to his study and
returned to art school to study painting.
While studying photography as part of
his course, he became fascinated by
the dark room process of Photogram’s
(a non camera technique). The hands
on process appealed to him.
After completing a Bachelor of Visual
Art at the University of South Australia
in 2008, specialising in photography,
Will released his TRACE ELEMENTS
a series of photographs, which were
exhibited at Gallery 139. This series
was met with critical acclaim.
SpringART is delighted to exhibit Will’s
current series, “WHAT LIES WITHIN”.
This series of work developed though
the exploration of the photographic
landscape whereby shadows become
abstract forms, changing the viewer’s
2

perception of the landscape. Will’s
inventive images draw the viewer’s
eye to a new and exciting way of
considering the urban environment
as it is captured by photography. This
body of work presents the graphic
beauty of the everyday, illustrating and
recording facets of urban life.
Our feature piece, “UNTITLED #1”, is
deliberately anonymous, unnamed,
as Will doesn’t want the viewer to be
given any suggestions of a particular
place. In this work he is exploring the
relationship between positive and
negative spaces, black and white
compositions and 3D shapes in the
architectural landscape. The dark
void of the building is there for the
viewer to contemplate and imagine
what forms it may contain. The void is
intended to resonate with each viewer
and be interpreted in a personal way.
Will teaches within the photography
department at The Adelaide College
of the Arts where he enjoys inspiring
students with his passion. We are very
fortunate to have Will Nolan participate
in SpringART 2011. No doubt we will
all be inspired by the artistry of Will’s
photography.

The SALife Emerging Artist Award
has been won by Debra Morley. Art’s
Editor, Lance Campbell commented
that reviewing the short list applicants
wasn’t easy but felt Debra’s work
displayed a greater level of curiosity.
Debra recently graduated from
Adelaide Central School of
Art with Honours (BVA 2010)
and is continuing to explore
the transformative qualities of time
and gravity on the human form in
these three dimensional figures. She
utilises layering and found materials
allowing the material to create its
own aesthetic. SALife editor Jacqui
Williams handed Debra a cheque
for $1000 at a special SALA event
held in August hosted by The Lion
Hotel. Debra will be supported and
featured both by SALife Magazine
and at this SpringART exhibition. J e w e ll e r

Star Portrait
Photography is the chosen medium
for Will Nolan, the Spring Art feature
artist for 2011. As viewers of art in
an image saturated world we have a
facility to engage with photography
in its various forms. What makes a
photograph an artwork is a common
question with which students and
viewers of art grapple. If anyone can
take a photograph, is it simply a matter
of being in the right place at the right
time to capture the moment? What
is it that distinguishes a photograph
as an artwork? Unlike painting where
brushes and paint are the tools used
to carry the painter’s vision onto the
canvas, a mechanical devise, the
camera stands between the artist
photographer and their subject.
Photographers, like painters balance
the technical considerations of their
chosen medium to communicate
their vision. Significant artworks
communicate an artist’s vision and
have the power to touch us emotionally
in very particular ways. The famous
American photographer, Ansell Adams
said, “There are always two people in
every picture: the photographer and
the viewer.”
James Thredgold has once again
designed a unique piece of jewellery
for SpringART. This one-off piece is
our raffle prize. As always, it is simply
beautiful and we expect raffle tickets
will be highly sought after.
Star Portrait is now in its fifth
successful year in 2011. Following the
formula of the popular Rolf Harris ABC
series of the same name, each year
a prominent South Australian sits for
our three talented artists. Each artist
prepares a portrait of the sitter, to be
unveiled at our Star Portrait event. We
are pleased to announce that the 2011
Star Portrait Artists are Lucy Bonnin,
Andrea Malone and Mary Wagstaff.
This year’s “Star Portrait” sitter is
Tracey Whiting. Tracey is an old scholar
of Loreto Marryatville and has a long
involvement with Loreto SpringArt.
Tracey is now on the board of Solstice
Media and the Art Gallery of South
Australia. She is Chair of the Art Gallery
of South Australia’s Contemporary
Collectors. The portrait process
reveals the physical aspect but also
an unveiling of a personality and an
understanding of an artist. Tracey will
unveil the three finished portraits at
SpringArt on Saturday 10th September
at 2pm. Please join us in supporting
Tracey as she views her three portraits
for the first time.

In describing the creative process,
James said that “This year’s
photographic feature piece by
Will Nolan was one of our biggest
challenges from SpringART. The image
is architectural and limited in shape
and colour. We started our design by
drawing from the colour of the brick
wall and used the tourmaline in the
main stone, which glows purple/red.
The linear white gold on the sides
and bail portray the mortar, which is
as essential as this holds the whole
structure together. The black used
in the neoprene is the shadow cast
from above and the diamonds weren’t
necessary, I just love them!”
This event is made possible due to
the valuable support of Premier Art
Supplies.

Welcome
It is with much pleasure that I welcome you to the 2011 Loreto
Spring Art Exhibition.
Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same
time; it can evoke a kaleidoscope of emotions — fun, peace,
freedom, tension, justice, fear, love — depending on how the
viewer interprets the colours, images and symbols used. Art
affords us the opportunities for self-expression where the artist
can communicate an interpretation or vision of aspects of his
or her world.
At Loreto, creativity is encouraged in our students and the
collection in this year’s Spring Art Exhibition links well with the
focus this year on ‘felicity’ in all Loreto schools in Australia.
This notion of ‘felicity’ is nourished by fun and celebration, by
beauty and creativity, by sensitivity to the natural environment
and by opportunities for self-expression and for reflection — all
of which are present here in our Spring Art collection.
“A good painting to me has always been like a friend. It keeps
me company, comforts and inspires me.” Hedy Lamarr
My hope is that you, too, may find “a friend” in this year’s art
collection, which will give you many years of pleasure and
inspiration.

who have colds. Many inteng-inteng
plants are used as washing medicines.
Rebecca’s art this year has developed
further in layering techniques using
new and various mediums. She
enthusiastically has continued to
work on themes associated with the
vibrancy of Venice and Paris. Rebecca’s
enjoys sharing her unconventional
approach to creativity and welcomes
visitors, by appointment, to her studio

Wendy Alstergren
Using clothing minimally decorated
as subject matter for the freestanding
ceramic sculptures, Wendy Alstergren’s
intention is to create still and
contemplative objects. The white
earthenware objects in this instance
remain as a conduit between cultures
with her friend and Japanese fellow
student at Adelaide Central School of
Art, Shoko Imagawa.
Judith Archer
Judith is currently working as an art
teacher at Marryatville High School
while continuing her art practise in
painting and drawing. Her style has
been disciplined by studies in life
drawing at Adelaide Central School of
Art and a highlight was the inclusion
of her work in the Waterhouse Natural
History Art Prize.
Alison Arnold
Alison works from a studio in the
Adelaide Hills where the native
birds and plants inevitably influence
her work. She loves pattern and
often looks to the decorative arts
for inspiration including textiles,
wallpapers and fabrics for designs. She
loves the challenge of concept based
exhibition work as much as creating
well-designed functional pots for
everyday use. Her current focus is on
developing a range of domestic ware
alongside decorated porcelain bird and
animal figurines, bowls and vases.
Mike Barr
Mike has become well known
for his figurative work both in
his beachscapes and rainy-day
streetscapes. Working mainly in
acrylics, he is also a demonstrator and
art writer and writes regular articles for
the Australian Artist Magazine and now

Lucy Bonnin
Annette graduated from the South
Australian School of Art in 1978.
She has received numerous awards,
including the Australian Council and
Arts SA Fellowships. Her work is an
examination of the depiction of women,
both historically and in contempory
culture. Annette uses repetition and
twinning in her paintings as a means
of examining these issues and the
concept of idealised female beauty. In
her current series of works, the figure
is veiled, simultaneously revealed and
submerged.
Angela is an emerging artist whose
practice is mainly in painting and
drawing. Graduating from Adelaide
Central School of Art in 2007, Angela
has exhibited in numerous group and
solo exhibitions across Australia. In
2008, Angela’s work was featured
in the Helpmann Academy Graduate
Exhibition, as well as at Hatched at
the Perth Institute of Contemporary
Arts. Angela was a finalist in the 2007
Waterhouse Natural History Art Prize,
and was the recipient of the SpringART
SA Life Emerging Artist Award in 2009.

Aurelia Carbone
Visual art has been an interest but
rather more of a passion of Patrick’s
for over 30 years. He completed
a Degree in Education at Uni SA,
specialising in Visual Arts and
Psychology, while also studying art
at the Adelaide School of Art. He has
two quite distinct styles of painting,
impressionist and abstract. In both
painting styles he prefers a vibrant
and rich colour palette. He uses his
extensive garden at Stirling in the
Adelaide Hills as a constant inspiration.
His abstract work has an almost
“stained glass” quality which he
finds precise yet almost hypnotic. He
aims for his paintings to transfer the
observer to a quiet and tranquil place.
A place of peace.
Alan Bruse completed his Masters of
Visual Art in 2010, and his exhibitions
are now sell-out shows. Having lived
by the coast the majority of his life and
being an ardent surfer, Alan’s culture
and memory is associated with the
ocean, surf and surrounding coastal
environment, reflecting an important
source of inspiration for his paintings.
Alan’s proven ability, commitment and
dedication to painting has successfully
placed his artwork in many prestigious
exhibitions and collections throughout
Australia and Internationally. Alan
is represented by Salmon Galleries,
Sydney.
Aurelia is a photographic artist working
with illusions and visual narratives.
She is currently a Masters by Research
student at the South Australian School
of Art, she is also an obsessive knitter,
a reader of manga, and mother of two.

schools within South Australia. In 2011
Patty was awarded the City of Adelaide
prize for her first Luminance Series
where she deliberately altered the
painted surface to yield a chromatic
sensuous glow.

Sylvia Eakins
Emerging artist Meaghan Coles
explores the female face within
popular advertising. Her oil paintings
investigate the fragmented face,
questioning the concept of ideal
beauty portrayed in popular imagery.
The result is a mere superficial
representation of an ideal female
beauty that reflects the beauty and
fashion industry.
Adelaide Central School of Art graduate
Stephanie Crase has recently returned
to Adelaide after two years travelling
the UK and Europe. Fittingly, her latest
oil and watercolour paintings reflect
on both old memories and unfamiliar
territories, subtly engaging themes of
restlessness and longing, home and
away. Her gently skewed streetscapes,
still lifes and portraits evoke an
ambience hovering somewhere
between anxious and serene.
Spontaneous brushstrokes of colour
creating form and a luscious texture
allow Sylvia Eakins to express her
interpretation of impressionism. She
sees the world through perceptual
grids of colour and form — using her
senses to push the boundaries.
John Colman
John completed a Bachelor of
Visual Arts (Ceramics) in 2005 from
the University of South Australia,
being awarded the HP Gill Memorial
Medal. He then successfully completed
the two-year Associate Program in

was a finalist in the Advertiser Sala Art
Award in 2008.
Alfred Engel
Whether using oil, egg tempura
or watercolor, Alfred Engel paints
masterfully in a number of genres,
employing a true academic style
that may be whimsical, uplifting or
thought-provoking, but also conveys
his well considered statements. He is
a fellow of the Royal Arts Society SA,
past president of the Southern Districts
Art Society SA, and a foundation
member of the Ocean Street Arts
Society. He has staged a number of
solo exhibitions in Melbourne, Adelaide,

Sue Flanagan has successfully
entered Australia’s most prestigious
art awards, The Archibald Prize,
with her first entry, a portrait of
Australian musician John Schumann.
This was purchased by Sony and used
for John’s album cover. She works
predominantly with oil paint on linen.
Her Star Portrait painting of Hugh
Sheridan was bought by Loreto College
last year. Her daughter Purnima has
Indian heritage, which provides a
constant source of inspiration. Sue’s
work has been commissioned by major
companies and she regularly exhibits
locally and interstate. She studied at
the Adelaide Central School of Arts and
ArtLab Australia.
This is the story of Alec’s country along
a section of the Canning Stock route.
He describes the places along the way,
and where they could source good
water. He also relates a memory of his
brother leading a party of Europeans
through the desert during the second
world war. The red lines are the
sandhills. Ngarinjarti lake is the pink

is salty.
Catherine Fitz-Gerald
The ‘Before the Wine’ series started
by following the life of a vine from
bud burst through to final prune and
evolved into a much wider exploration.
The vines house a vibrant ecosystem
and soil, drought, rain, heat and cold
affect the many varietals differently.
The man made twinnings of wire
and structure are juxtaposed against
last year’s dried twists and lush new
growth tendrils and always, for me, the
light defines it all. The strongly textured
branches are a foil for delicately
shaded grapes and the details of new
growth are swept away by the blown
leaves of autumn.

Fred Grant is a senior Spinifex man
from Spinifex country with a wealth

centred around Mittudu. Mittudu is a
site connected to Mulaya through its
Tjukurpa and a place the Wati Kutjara
(two men) pass through. The Wati
Kutjara in this case are the father and

initiation rituals.
John is a romantic, impassioned by
the visual presentation that life has

on line and contrast together with
balanced, natural compositions
characterise her work. She has an
interest in geometry and the anatomy
of both human and plant forms and
her bold, graphic style is informed
by her experience both as a graphic
designer in her early career, and more
recently, eight years studying and
working as a visual artist.
Cristina studied art in her birthplace,
Milano, Italy and in Australia. This
series is inspired by the elegance of
sea-creatures. The wire mesh allows
light to pass through each sculpture,
creating a weightless feel and
capturing their ephemeral silhouettes.
This work has featured in the
Advertiser, received a Merit Award and
is in the finals of the 2011 Waterhouse
Art Prize.

Ty Manning
Ty is a primary school teacher who
completed a Major in Visual Arts at the
Flinders University as part of a Bachelor
of Education. His interest in steel and
wire animal sculpture has developed
from a culmination of personal interests.
A life time of living on the land, a family
interest in breeding and competing
with horses and the family engineering
business have all been contributing
inspiration for many of the equine and
canine sculptures that he has completed.
Since beginning sculpting in 2008 he has
won the 2009 Kidman Art Show — Best
Sculpture or 3D work and The 2010
Brighton Jetty Classic Sculptures by the

Mary Nolan
Jenni Mumford is renowned as an
impressionist oil painter. She has
produced 15 solo exhibitions and
is represented in major galleries in
four states. Vibrancy, freedom of
movement and interaction of light are
key elements in the work. A continuing
energy to push the boundaries to
explore the interpretation of the
landscape (and still life) is foremost
in Jenni’s fascination with executing
the theory ‘colour vibrant with light’. A
finalist eight times in the prestigious
Fleurieu Peninsula Biennale Art Prize
and multi finalist in the Heysen Art
Prize are some of the accolades which
credits her work being sought after by
collectors in Australian and European
art Auctions.
Grace’s photography has been a form
of self-expression for almost ten years
now; she is both technically proficient
in her craft and equally skilled as
a creative artist. Experimenting
and creating images of the
uncapturable, the unimaginable, and
the uncontrollable. The brightness, the
darkness, shapes and colours. With so
much technology making photography
so accessible Grace Resorts back to
the basic principles of Photography
studied at RMIT.
Mary is an artist who knows no
boundaries, turning her talents to
Abstract, Realism, Portraiture and
Impressionism. She brings a playful
attitude to many of her works. Oil is
her main medium, however she does
work in acrylic and other multimedia.
She has successfully exhibited in a
variety of solo and group artshows in
South Australia. “I love creating pieces
of art! When I ‘m painting, I get totally
immersed in the experience. It is
always a buzz!”

Thirty six year old self taught artist
Tom O’Callaghan has been painting full
time since 1997, living and working
from his home studio in Victor Harbor,
coastal South Australia. ‘My paintings
are inspired by the visual world around
me. I love to paint subjects with form.
As light reveals form, I am drawn to
those times of day when the light
is most dramatic. The atmosphere
and the colours of the Australian
coastal landscape play a major role
in my work. I enjoy discovering new
compositions by finding a unique
perspective to view the subject from.’
Greg O’Leary has had numerous solo
exhibitions in the last 12 years, mostly
at Kensington Gallery, after retiring
from teaching International Politics at
Adelaide University. He works mostly
in oils within the classical tradition as

Maria O’Daniel
Much of Maria’s work is inspired by
memories of growing up on a dairy
farm in Holland. She spent many
hours walking over paddocks picking
wild flowers, while my father milked
the cows, which she then made into
chains and crowns with my mother’s
help. She now uses many of those
early memories, and popular textile
techniques of the time, such as
knitting or crocheting to create new
contemporary jewellery items such as
her floral Rings.
Astra Parker
Astra is an Adelaide sculptor who’s
intricate steel works are inspired by

chaos and structure, searching for
beauty. Sally’s previous work has been
short-listed in the Doug Moran National
Portrait Prize. Commissions include the
Exeter Commission, The Archbishop of
Adelaide, and the first female president
of the AMA(SA).
Eliza Piro’s works are colourful,
whimisical and uplifting. She likes to
paint from nature with her works often
featuring birds, trees and elephants.
Eliza is inspired by pattern, textiles
and her travels to Asia. Her beautifully
detailed works are eye-catching and
imaginative with hints of folklore and
the ordered chaos of tribal pattern.
Warren Pickering
Jane Price
Warren’s background is studying
building and design at South London
Polytechnic and Fine Arts at Woolwich
Art College. The structural and design
aspects are coupled with laser
technology to create work that is both
engineered and organic, represented
by the physical hand-forming aspect
and the movement within each piece
respectively.
Jane is a finalist in this
year’s ‘Waterhouse Natural History Art
Prize 2011’, at the South Australian
Museum for her bronze sculpture.
In 2010, she was a finalist in the
36th Alice Prize, and won second
prize for her bronze sculpture in
‘The Waterhouse Natural History Art
Prize 2009’ and finalist and winner of
‘The People’s Choice Award’, in The
Heysen Prize 2009 at The Harndorf
Academy. The underlying theme of this
sculpture is to highlight the need for
marine parks to protect our aquatic
life. The fine detailed bronze body
submerging into the water, contrasts
with the natural sea fan forming the
fish’s tail.
Amalia Ranisau is a multidisciplinary
artist, working in painting, glass,
installation, sculpture and works on/
in paper. In recent years, her work has
been exhibited at Artlab Australia (solo,

Anna was technically trained at North

she employs are laser cutting and
traditional hand forming techniques. “I
like the contradiction of using the idea
of the ‘feminine delicacy of jewellery’
and mixing it to a larger, stronger,
harder, and more robust material.”
Jo Jo Spook is a professional artist
and educator with a Bachelor of
Craft, Bachelor of Fine Art, Diploma
of Education and a Master of Visual
Art from Monash University . Jo Jo
specialises in painting, metal sculpture
and tattooing that is inspired by
fashion and oriental design.
After years in graphic design and
the death of her mother, Minnie
felt that she needed to express her
emotions and started to paint. Without
the restriction of a client’s brief in
graphics, her paintings give her the
freedom she yearns for! Now she feels
she’s growing confidently and enjoying
inspiration everywhere she looks.
Jane Smeets
Daisy Sugars
Jane currently teaches painting,
sculpture and mosaic. Jane’s artistic
practise is fluid as she chooses to work
with a variety of mediums ranging from
oils, acrylics, cement, plaster, clay,
and found objects. The use of these
materials ebb and flow as she finds
the best representation to express
her intention. She has a fascination
with how humans continually seek
to separate themselves from their
environment, which can often lead
to being disconnected to something
bigger and beautiful.
During her time as a Loreto student,
class of 2010, Daisy developed a
love for the practice of portraiture.
Daisy believes that her interest in
portraiture is inspired by the flawless
techniques and poetic imagery of
legendary European masters. As
a self-proclaimed perfectionist,
Daisy likes to challenge herself with
meticulous technical detail in each of
her compositions.

Sheree’s style is Tonal Realism, a
unique and beautiful moment in time
is conveyed with emotion to bring
it to life. The viewer doesn’t share
her interpretation — a person’s
view of the world is a reflection of
past experiences and their current
reality. For Sheree, the ability to
take a beautiful moment and give it
added depth through paint is the true
reward of her work. Finalist in the
Cibo Galleria, Fleurieu Peninsula Water
