LOCAL ARTISTS

After last week's post on my collection of Aboriginal Art I did promise to show you some of my collection of local (Sunshine Coast, QLD) artists. 

Hope you enjoy them:


Peter Hudson - Ray & Moon, bought as a gift for my husband
 
 
My friend Aileen Shaw with her painting, bought at her exhibition


Noela Mills (collage), traded in the International Collage Exchange
 
Kym Barrett, bought at her exhibition


Kim Schoenberger (wallpiece), traded


Wendy Epp, bought at her exhibition

Mieke Van Sambeek (wallpiece), traded

Josephine Knight,  bought at her exhibition


Wendy Van Der Drift, traded for one of my works

Hope you follow the links to see more of their work.  I am privileged to own these pieces, and to live in a place where art proliferates.

  9. I originally came to thank you for the link to my chess set. It is ONYX. I knew I'd know the name if I ever heard it, but seeing the exact chess set really put tears in my eyes. Thank you beyond belief.

    Now to YOUR art. You have such a great eye for art, color, and texture. I really love many of these pieces that now grace your home, including the gorgeous aboriginal art you showed in your previous post. Since I'm big on recycling, I admit, my favorite is the wall piece by Mieke Van Sambeek. Less color, of course, but more rust and texture. Of course, I'd be thrilled if ANY of these piece graced my walls. Simply divine art you have gathered from fellow artists.

    Again, thank you for the link!
