My proposal is to sculpt and mimic nature by weaving pulled glass cane through existing human artefacts and natural vines in the forest. Art can mimic nature, by seeking to visually replicate objects as they appear in real life. Art can open our eyes to the intricacy and beauty of the natural world. It is a challenge to express our complex human connection to nature. The artwork proposes to draw attention to this complex relationship. Pulled glass canes mimic the vines and plants which cover an old coal sieve, which remains, slowly rusting away in the rainforest. This work has the ability to interact with and educate the viewer about what miners used to do in the forest, spreading awareness about their lives. We feel an instinctual need to take care of the things we feel connected to. Often in our busy lives, we seem to take some of the important things for granted. History is an important factor for me, learning about the past and its connection to my life now.

Hinchliffe’s recent work deals with the urban environment in its many forms in cities around the world as well as an abiding affinity with the Australian landscape. It is a response to light. He likes the movement of light across a surface — whether it be a valley, river, street or the human form.
Adrienne WILLIAMS embarks on a new body of work with her latest collection ‘Saturday Morning Fever’; following a move to the seaside her work has taken a new direction. Utilising traditional landscape painting elements and maintaining Plein Air sketching as an integral part of her work, Williams creates intriguing colourist compositions. These compositions explore the relationship between wild places and altered landscapes.
From the rugged and harsh terrain of the desert, the wild and lush scenery of the bush, and the calming coastal waters by the sea; ‘Deserted Wilderness’ captures the exploration of Australia’s diverse landscapes through the eyes of Adrienne Williams, Terry Swann and Pam Walpole.

‘By the Brush’ incorporates artwork from three very different artists and brings together a kaleidoscope of colour, individual styles, and a passion for the artistic world each inhabit. “It is wonderful to see women with a strong sense of style that appeal to a broad and ever evolving art loving market.” Margaret Campbell-Ryder, Gallery Director. Collectively the bold and adventurous use of colour completes this fantastical exhibition.
Despite working in different mediums and on different subject matters, each of these talented artists selected for this exhibition have a love of the Australian landscape and the wildlife that inhabits it. They all share a passion for creating unique pieces of art and are sure to be a hit with art lovers from Brisbane and Australia wide.
His paintings reflect influences of realism, expressionism and surrealism, and have been purchased by numerous art collectors and celebrities, including the former US President Bill Clinton. The artwork created for Stevenson’s upcoming exhibition ‘The Attitude of Colour’ reflects on things he believes are still most important in our world, the beauty of the natural world and feminine form.
Red Hill Gallery is pleased to present this exquisite new body of artwork from an original artist such as Regina Noakes, and to offer art enthusiasts the unique opportunity to view and own paintings of remarkable narrative quality.
She was bit of a collector too, investing in other fine arts as well. Glenys’ other pastime was simply going to the plaza: lol! She had so many little trinkets at home, and her back yard had many a windmill, or some Solar charged light gizmo thingy for the night time display in her back yard, or something hanging off her clothes line where the wind would generate a movement in the piece.
But above all though, Glenys was generous to whoever came into her life, whether it was her neighbours of many years, or the lawn mower man, or her own family, she was kind and forever helpful. I will miss her for sure. And even though the ever-present feeling of her still being here will pass, her memories for me will never go from my mind!
We got married in Nice, South of France. We left France for New Caledonia, in 1970 our daughter Barbara was born and in 1973 our son, Gregory. During that time I had an interest for movie making, I went back to France to get my editing certificate, back in New Caledonia the political situation had changed and we thought there was no future in that country. My wife wanted to go back to France, I said ok but what if we stayed in Australia for 3 years and that’s what we did.
Having suffered a stroke a few years back has slowed me down but hasn’t taken away my passion for my wife, family and painting. I decided to write “Words of Love on a Palette of Provence” for my beautiful wife. I always say she is the best wife I ever had and for our 40th wedding anniversary the all family joined us on the P&O Pacific Sun where we renewed our vows. We danced to Ray Charles’ song Georgia, my son tied up some cans and wrote a “Just Married” sign behind my wheelchair. Back to our cabin and the rest is not your business.
Jamie Boyd, son of the late Arthur Boyd AO and grandson of the late Merric Boyd, the fourth generation of the Boyd Family; is a master of colour and craft, using materials of any shape, colour or description to create some visually mesmerising pieces. His lyrical works are often created spontaneously, or as inspiration hits him:
Laurindo De Abreu Soto describes his practice like life itself – a dynamic and ever growing entity, which moves back and forth in time and ideas. His work as a sculptor is closely related to design and architecture, and is consequently very “object based”. As a sculptor, his main concern and field of practice is Space, in which the work of art serves as a boundary that allows us to appreciate that space. The sculptures presented in this exhibition are a continuation of his exploration into the possibilities of materials – such as fibreglass, plywood, and Laminex – along with their combinations and interplay.
