2011 loreto art exhibition Feature Artist Will Nolan Untitled #1 2011 Loreto Art Exhibition 9–11 September SA L i f e E mer g i n g A rti s t Awa r d Fe ature Artist Will Nolan 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 Debra Morley 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. Will exhibits courtesy of Helen Gory Galerie-Melbourne 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 Lo r e to Art Depart m ent Sta r P o rtr a i t James Tracey Thredgold Whiting Trace Elements Will Nolan Loreto Art Department Jeweller 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. Jacky Hamilton Learning Area Coordinator Visual Arts Years 6–12 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. 3 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.

Tea cup and saucer set Alison Arnold 15. waymouth-reflections Mike Barr Daisy Akemarr Ross Rebecca Arman Leah Badger The plants, called inteng-inteng, are used for colds, as well as washing kids 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 at Carrickalinga. Leah was Loreto’s Peoples Choice Award Winner at SpringART in 2010. She is drawn to the beauty of nature and it provides much of the inspiration for her work. Her paintings are held in both private and corporate collections. Courtesy of Mashall Arts 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 for the UK Magazine — The Artist. He is multi-award winning artist with work in collections around the world. 5 Artists’ Profiles 17. Second Nature Annette Bezor 21. Puppet Theatre Simone Black 29. Sea of Serenity Alan Bruse Annette Bezor Angela Black 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. Star Portrait Artist Marina Bills Simone Black Marina Bills is an Adelaide artist who has spent some time studying at Adelaide Central School of Art. Her paintings are narrative works, which have a whimsical and playful quality. They are concerned with friendship, the imagination and the human spirit and filled with colour. Movement and fun. Her works begin as drawings and are then finished in acrylic and impasto on canvas. Simone studied Visual Art in Sydney and Adelaide. Her studio “Young at Art” is where she teaches youth and adults. Simone’s passion for the story of Don Quioxte continues with her current works the “Puppet Show” series. 6 Since leaving Adelaide central school of art Lucy has committed to painting full time. Besides working from commission she had been a finalist in the Waterhouse Natural History Art Prize at the Museum of SA in 2009, 2010 and again in 2011.

His works are mainly on canvas, in acrylic and sometimes oil. In the main the works are abstract and tend to be large. Occasionally his works are abstract-landscape or figurative. Bill has had several exhibitions at the Citadel Exhibition Space in Goodwood and more recently at A.P. Bond/Gallery. Artists’ Profiles 31. Mutipal Personalities Thomas Buchanan 33. Butterfly Secrets Aurelia Carbone 34–38. Luminance Series Patty Chehade Patrick Brennan Alan Bruse 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. Tom Buchanan Tom Buchanan is an Australian painter residing in Adelaide. In 2010 he graduated from SASA, UniSA, with a Bachelor of Visual Arts (Honors). Tom has exhibited locally and nationally at a number of galleries within Australia. He has been finalist and winner in numerous art prizes.

Her work was selected for the Helpmann Graduate Exhibition in 2011; an exhibition that brings together carefully selected works of emerging artists from the major tertiary art 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. 7 Artists’ Profiles 39. Advertise Her Meaghan Coles 47. Highland Ride Jim Disher 50. Through the Looking Glass Sylvia Eakins Meaghan Coles Stephanie Crase 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 Ceramics at the Jam Factory, Adelaide. Since then he has conducted a homebased studio practice in Adelaide working in both ceramics and kiln formed glass. 8 Jim Disher Jim Disher is trained as an illustrator and has freelanced in Adelaide. He has also worked as an artist and has exhibited extensively including Soma Galleries, Norwood, in 2008 and Jackman Gallery, St Kilda, in 2009. He 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, Southport QLD and Victor Harbor and has received many important honours. Artists’ Profiles 56. Flown Catherine Fitz-Gerald 60. Darnku Country Alec Forrest 62. Dog Karen Genoff Cathy Fennell Sue Flanagan Alec Forrest Cathy is an accomplished artist who combines layers, colour, textures and wash to create an original approach to painting. Cathy is influenced by her experience in graphic and textile design with inspiration for her paintings coming from her three energetic children. Cathy’s work is held in private collections in Australia and overseas. 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 and white circular shape bottom-left, and slightly above and right to that is a well (yellow and brown shape) which 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. Courtesy of Marshall Arts Karen Genoff Karen Genoff’s professional arts practice spans 34 years. She is represented in many public and private collections with several major public works in Adelaide, Interstate and Internationally in Japan and New Zealand. Many would be familiar with her public work in The East End of Adelaide, The Apron, commemorating the life and colour of Adelaide’s former fruit and produce exchange 1996. Her studio work to date concerns itself with the roles of artist and mother. Courtesy of BMGArt 9 Artists’ Profiles 72. Mittudu Fred Grant 76. Venice Morning John Hamilton 60. Orion Karen Hammat Marnie Gilder Fred Grant John Hamilton For the past 10 years Marnie has had sell-out solo exhibitions around Australia, exhibiting as Marnie Wark (maiden name). After having children Marnie could no longer keep up with the exhibition schedule, and she decided to reinvent herself. Marnie now sells small edition screen prints online, all which have been designed and made by hand by Marnie. All pieces are signed and dated and are in editions never larger than 10. Fred Grant is a senior Spinifex man from Spinifex country with a wealth of knowledge about his country. The many rockholes Fred has painted in this work signifies his knowledge and authority to paint his own and his family’s country. This painting is 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 son snake who are on a journey during initiation rituals. John is a romantic, impassioned by the visual presentation that life has to offer. As he captures the power and movement of light he exhibits a vibrancy of colour and boldness of the brushwork. The interaction of people with the landscape plays an important role in his art. He likes to capture those fleeting moments when he is aware of a sense joy. Yet they are moments that are barely noticed. Christine Gordon Christine enjoys revisiting the memories from her childhood. Her work reflects the wonder and innocence of a young girl growing up in the 1960s. Simple, colourful and fun images invite you to join her journey. Christine regularly exhibits in Adelaide and Melbourne. 10 Courtesy of Marshall Arts Frances Griffin Since completing a Bachelor of Visual Arts at Adelaide Central School of Art in 2009, Frances has concentrated on abstract painting. She explores oil paint as a versatile medium that can be layered and built up, rubbed back or dissolved. Her inspiration comes from the amorphous natural environment and the elusive forces that have shaped it. Karen Hammat Karen completed her bachelor’s degree in visual arts and applied design at O’Halloran Hill TAFE in 2005 when she won the Minter Ellison Rising Stars Award as the top woman in vizarts graduate of her school. She runs her arts practice from her studio/gallery in Yankalilla where she produces portraiture and abstract painting. Artists’ Profiles 82. Disassemble Helene Hardy 63. Slinky FX Wesley Harrop 89. Tjilkamarta Tjukurpa Margaret Jennings Georgina Hardy Wesley Harrop Alan Jury Georgina Hardy has been studying at the Central School of Art since 2003. Her preferred medium is oil — she has a painterly style and favours tonal realism. Her paintings are generally fun, quirky depictions of rare or unusual roosters. Recently Georgina has been experimenting with abstract. In 2007 Wesley completed his TAFE Certificate III in Visual Arts and Contemporary Craft. Since then he has gone on from strength to strength, creating stunning one off pieces of sculpture as well as a number of private and commercial commissions. Wesley was recognized in 2009 when he won the SALA Jam Factory Contempory Craft and Design Award. Wesley has set up a business UNIQUE IRON which designs iron pieces for architects and private clients. Alan studied Graphic Design at Underdale and has had his artwork entered in national and regional awards, group exhibitions and a series of commissions. Alan utilises his interest in drawing and formal studies to complete these assemblages. He uses found objects, discarded materials and paint to create collage/ decollage/assemblage work that challenges ideals of beauty, value and commercialism. Helene Hardy Helene uses simple acrylics on stretched canvas to produce works that resonate deep, vivid emotion. From the depths of the ethereal to the light cast from the ether, she manages to capture the essence of human feeling and strip it bare for all to see. Margaret Jennings Tjilkamarta was a rainmaker who had short arms. He was camping between two mobs, trying to get one mob to share their food with him. They teased him by holding out food, then snatching it away as he reached for it. He became angry, sang for a big cloud with hail and lightening, which killed the nasty mob. Gail Kellett Gail works from home in McLaren Vale on the Fleurieu Peninsula. Her themes are always close to her life and her environment. She draws straight onto the lino to capture the energy of her subject. Her compositions balance strength with delicacy, intense colour with black and white while emphasising bold line in design.

And she felt beautiful Simone Lettice Emmeline Khor Diana Laidlaw Cat Leonard Emmeline’s work is inspired by the beauty of life, encompassing nature in all its forms. She is a full time Adelaide artist who has studied at the Adelaide Central School of Art with her focus on contemporary tonal realistic paintings. Her current interests include still life, revelling in the wondrous shapes and sensual forms of autumn fruits such as figs and pomegranates. She is influenced by childhood memories, dance, poetry and music. She has produced many works for private collections. One of the joys of Diana’s life “post politics” has been the opportunity to pursue her long-standing interest in mosaics. Since 2007 she has staged three sell-out solo exhibitions, plus completed a steady stream of commissioned work. Most recently, she has loved exploring the mosaic medium as a platform to celebrate cherished poets and philosophers. Cat Leonard is an award winning artist who paints portraits, animals, cars, people and things in her unique ‘pop expressionistic’ style. Her paintings are exhibited in various galleries and shops around Adelaide including the ‘Red Opus Art Space”, and ‘Nadia’s House if Serendipity” John Lacey John is a self-taught artist who has been painting professionally in oil since 2004 after many years experience in other mediums. Painting both impressionistic and contemporary landscape and figurative works in oil has seen him with several prizes in the past 7 years, including Victor Harbor, Blackwood, Clare and Flagstaff Hill Rotary Exhibitions. Courtesy of Art Images Gallery 12 Janice Lane Janice Lane graduated with a Bachelor in Visual Arts in 2007 from the Adelaide Centre of Arts and is currently studying her Postgraduate Diploma in visual arts with UniSA. Practicing from her studio in Piccadilly, Janice was a finalist for the 2010 Lethbridge 10,000 smallscale art awards in Brisbane. Janice brings resonance of touch and sound to her paintings that have memories embedded deep within them. By using old sheet music and Pianola rolls they trigger personal and second-hand memories for herself and others. Simone Lettice Since her sell-out debut exhibition ‘Emergence’ (2007) Simone has featured in media interviews/articles, filled numerous commissions and participated in successive (selected) group exhibits. Long fascinated by the abstraction and stylization of form, Simone employs a characteristically economical use of sculptural line in paintings at once deeply sensitive and vibrantly bold.

She was a finalist in the Jacaranda Acquisitive Drawing Award 2008 and the Whyalla Art Prize 2009, and exhibited at Kensington Galleries in October 2010. Alison Main paints, writes and animates. Her work is influenced by her architectural career and her long association with Japan, combining elements of abstraction and ideas of narrative. Humour often camouflages serious intent, with small characters chattering as white noise in the background, flotsam and jetsam of the mind. Her secret vice is paper junk sculpture. Born at Renmark in 1946 & bought up at the little village of Lyrup in the Riverland. An interest in woodwork and metal work evolved in late primary and high schools. After doing a welding school via an adult education class while still at high school, started doing repairs for neighbours. An apprenticeship in welding was commenced and two years at an agricultural engineering workshop was undertaken, then fulltime selfemployment manufacturing and repairing horticultural machinery. An interest in manufacturing home and garden giftwares commenced after marriage in 1970 to Judy. Garden Art pieces were inspired after exhibiting our garden and home wares at the Melbourne International Flower and Garden Show each year and visiting the Sculpture Art Exhibit commencing in 2002. Garden, Home and Art pieces are now made at our home in McLaren Vale. Eileen Lubiana Eileen has studied at Adelaide Central School of Art, receiving and Advanced Diploma in Visual Art.

The Match Grace Murphy Trent Manning Naomi McCann Cristina Metelli Trent has been living in the Barossa for the past 15 years. Growing up with a family owned engineering workshop in the back yard led to an interest in working with steel and completing a short Blacksmithing course. When time permits he enjoys creating works that that are orientated towards the natural environment, that he hopes people appreciate looking at and using as much as he enjoys making them. Naomi’s work draws lessons from the relationship between pattern and chaos found in nature. An emphasis 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. Lorelei Medcalf Emerging Artist 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 Sea — People’s Choice award. 14 Lorelei Medcalf is an emerging Adelaide printmaker.

Overcast Tom O’Callaghan Jenni Mumford Grace Murphy 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.

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 influenced by impressionism. He has been a finalist in recent years in the Waterhouse Exhibition.

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, 2008), receiving a High Commendation Award from the Jam Factory and an invitation to exhibit in their gallery (duo, 2009) and also several exhibitions organized by the Helpmann Academy, including the Maestros and Apprentices (2009, 2010). Her works are held in corporate and private collections in Europe and Australia. Pauline Richards Pauline continues to entertain us with her whimsical and imaginative paintings. She studied Art and Design at Thebarton College and Visual Arts at Adelaide Central School of Art. She was selected to exhibit at the CIBO Galleria and also held a major solo exhibition for the SALA Festival 2010. Pauline’s studio is in College Park where she works on both her paintings and sculpture in a spacious light-filled environment. 17 Artists’ Profiles 205. White Effloresce Helen Sallis 206.

Flotsam and Jetsam explore the organic response to the Belgian linen and Old Holland oils selected for these works. 18 Peter Serwan Peter Serwan works as a part-time teacher at Prince Alfred College, Adelaide, whilst maintaining his practise as a painter and printmaker. His work is influenced by the immediate suburban environment as a catalyst for ideas and he allows meanings to emerge in his work based on personal experiences, recollections and chance observations. Peter has just held his 13th solo exhibition at Hill-Smith Gallery last year. Courtesy of Hill Smith Gallery Dudley Siviour Dudley was a metal work teacher who studies sheetmetal, artmetal and design.

Sea Eagle Dudley Siviour 216. Nanna Anna Small 243. Pearls and Lace Heather Teakle Anna Small Jo Jo Spook Minnie Taylor Anna was technically trained at North Adelaide School of Art. The processes 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. Heather Teakle Heather has a Bachelor of Visual Arts and Design (2010). Her work was selected for the prestigious Helpmann Academy Graduate Exhibition, 2011 and she was one of seven finalists for the Bendigo and Adelaide Bank Award, 2011. Her passion is to use traditional feminine textile techniques in contemporary art. 19 Artists’ Profiles 252. Red Hill Sonya Unwin 246. Women’s Work (is never done) Cassie Thring 254. Sea View Road Mclaren Vale Louise Vadasz Cassie Thring Sonya Unwin Ann Wagner Cassie Thring is a visual artist based in the Adelaide Hills.

These works are Sonya’s first inclusion in SpringART and are part of her Jack & Jill Series, an exploration of the human condition through landscape. Ann’s unique translation of the world is beautifully captured on canvas to create works of intense impact. Her contemporary take on the Australian coastline has been very well received, with requests for commission pieces keeping her extremely busy during the last few years. Ann has recently evolved her repertoire to include paintings that reflect her admiration of art deco works of the past, albeit with a modern touch. A spirited and enthusiastic artist, Ann’s pieces have been exhibited at numerous solo and group exhibitions. Paul Trappe “The Aunt” was inspired by Theodora in The Aunt’s Story by Patrick White. The work is part of a series of Heads and Masks in various Marbles and Granites.

Piccadilly Valley from the Heysen Trail II Mary Wagstaff 261. High Tea Chris Wake Mary Wagstaff Chris Wake Michelle Wheadon Star Portrait Artist Leading contemporary Australian artist Chris Wake was one of the international painters, representing 32 different nations, chosen to participate in the 2010 International Fine Art Collection celebrating the 2010 FIDA World Cup in South Africa last year. Chris was commissioned by 2010 Fine Art because her work had already achieved global recognition. She had a sell-out exhibition in Melbourne several years ago and was a finalist in the 2008 Sovereign Asia Art Prize held in Hong Kong. Wake had had more than 12 solo exhibitions and 40 group exhibitions. Michelle enjoys experimenting to create different visually exciting effects and atmospheric moods in her work. Michelle has exhibited successfully in several group exhibitions and was commissioned to create the Cabernet Sauvignon Queen for Peter Lehmann Wines. She held her first solo exhibition “Poesie” for Adelaide Fringe 2011 at Hughes Gallery, Fullarton Park Centre. These works question the fine line between fantasy and reality, sometimes too close to tell what is real or imagined. Mary studied drawing and painting in the UK, and at the North Adelaide School of Art in the Adelaide Institute of TAFE. A multi-award winning artist, Mary has exhibited in the UK, Canberra, Melbourne and many centres in South Australia, and has on several occasions been a finalist in the Waterhouse Natural History Art Prize, the Fleurieu Biennale, the Alice Bale Exhibition and the Heysen Prize.

Corner Story Eleanor Zecchin Therese Williams Sheree Wright Eleanor Zecchin Therese studied drawing, painting and sculpture at Alexander Mackie CAE (COFA) in Sydney, graduating with a Diploma of Arts. Therese worked as a Scenic Artist in Sydney for many years, holding positions at AFTRS, ABC TV, Opera Australia, Sydney Theatre and has been engaged as a Set/Costume Designer for several theatre productions.

Therese’s work is held in The NSW Education Dept.Collection, The Alliance Francaise Sydney Collection and in private collections in Adelaide, Sydney, Melbourne and London. 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 Prize, solo & group exhibitions. Eleanor completed a Bachelor of Visual Arts at Adelaide College for the Arts in 2008, and has continued her professional involvement in the arts as a full time visual artist specialising in painting. She was awarded a Helpmann Academy Project Grant and Mentorship Scholarship. She has also undertaken a Mentorship with renowned local artist Annette Bezor.
