Artist’s biographies<br />

Bruce Anderson<br />

“My daytime job is an engineer, but I have always had an interest in<br />

art and sculpture, and enjoy just ‘making things’. When I visit building<br />

sites in <strong>the</strong> course of my work, I often salvage bits of wood; <strong>to</strong>ge<strong>the</strong>r<br />

with a lot of cans and rivets, I make caravans in my spare time and<br />

driftwood dogs!”<br />

Robertson’s canvas paintings are poised between subtle, figurative and<br />

symbolic. Sometimes cryptic, her love of form and movement are present<br />

in her current nudes and semi-nudes; <strong>the</strong>y are reflective and a little surreal.<br />

Artwork from left <strong>to</strong> right: Eva Polak, Andi Regan, Annie Smits Sandano, Marte Szirmay.<br />

and my emotions.”<br />

West reflects in her paintings both a personal appreciation and love for<br />

her surrounding environment. Each piece is a one-off original, packed<br />

full of life and colour.<br />

include landscapes, still life, figures and boats. Wilson says “There<br />

are <strong>the</strong>mes in my work which resurface, as <strong>the</strong>y present new<br />

is a constant interest.”<br />
