something from everyone
with affordable miniatures
to major works.
“Ian Hansen’s paintings
take you on a intimate
journey into the majesty of
the sea,” he said.
“As a veteran sailor Ian
has a love and respect for
the power and beauty of
the ocean.
“When viewing a Hansen
you at once lose yourself
and find yourself, set adriftin
the wilds of creation.”
Mr Black said James
Hough has successfully
combined both a passion
for wildlife and his life long
interests in Fine Art, while
Max Mannix captures life
in the outback.
“Max’s paintings are vibrant
stories, often larrikin
tales of living in the bush,”
he said.
“His unique style and
palette screams of the
quintessentialvernacular
that is at the heart of Australian
life.”
Ramon Ward-Thompson
is a true romantic impressionisticpainter
capturing
the beauty of Australia and
Europe with his deliberately
limited palette.
“Over the decades of
painting Ramon has refined
a skill that interprets
a scene,thatcaptures the
inner memory of place
with an almostdream like
quality.”
Werner Filipich is a dedicated
traditionalist painting
mainly in oils and
specialising in rural and
coastal scenes.
