D’Arcy Bush grew up in Bookham and is currently based in Sydney. Her medium is primarily charcoal but she will occasionally throw ink in the mix for smaller works.

Alex Honner’s ink drawings highlight her detailed and precise practice. Each piece brings together Alex’s eye for order and scale within art, where she has a rich understanding of how these elements work together.
The precision and permanence of her delicate lines and simplified patterns is bold and confident and successfully captures the distinct personalities of her subject matter.

Emma Sheehan is known for the wild harmony of colours used within her works. The still life form has allowed her to explore subject matter that is close to home where she has always had a strong appreciation for colour, pattern, textiles and ceramics.
Her intuitive colour combinations and mindful compositions are both bubbly and sophisticated and each work together to instil a sense of joy within the viewer.

Sarah Smith works in to create light and fun pieces. Largely self-taught, Sarah has been developing her painting skills over the past year which has helped to bring extra layers of depth and detail into her most recent work.
I like to focus on fine details and to add intricate brush work to each of my paintings to magnify elements of objects and everyday things that may otherwise seem ordinary and simple. Sometimes it’s the little things in life.
