Jane Garratt

Jane alters and layers her photographs to create images that reflect memories and evoke emotions rather than representing realism. She finds that processing her photos is meditative and therapeutic.

Jane has explored themes of impermanence, loss, and poignant everyday beauty for many years. More recently she is responding to her learning more about Australia's brutal colonial settler history, and its ongoing impacts on Traditional Custodian Owners and Australia's institutions, cultures, and environments. Jane is also drawn to an Australian gothic aesthetic, with its tensions between searing sunlight and dark shadow; apparent banality and menacing undercurrents.

Margery Goodall

Margery is a self-employed maker; a wife, a mother and grandmother, with a focus on late-career development of her practice. Margery's artwork aims to say something about how we as individuals, and as a society, interact with the land around us; and how and why the relationship has changed over time.

After initial study, Margery started her art career as a painter, then worked with textiles over years. She still use textiles techniques, but now creates assemblages and small sculptures using waste materials, most often plastic household and food packaging. Her studio is purpose built for textiles, with great lighting, flat surfaces and walls. Unfortunately, she says it is now so overwhelmed with stores of waste materials that - in desperation - she has taken over a table tennis space and sometimes the dining table.

To overcome creative blocks, Margery finds that tidying her studio immediately brings specific materials and process front of mind, and then she can then "move on". It helps her to keep motivated in her practice if Margery attends exhibitions, visits old friends in major art collections, and reads a lot. Margery's dream project would involve a year with no calls on her time, with studio assistants to deal with materials, tools, image production, social media and paperwork, so she could happily try ideas that have been kicking around for years, and definitely something out of her comfort space!

Margery's biggest influences are:

  • How to see; the importance of mark making - George Haynes

  • Focus - the late Marjorie Coleman, textile artist extraordinaire

  • Inspiration - Leon Pericles

Michelle Henderson

Michelle grew up in Bedford. After prompting from a neighbour, she started painting watercolours about 25 years ago. During the last two decades her artistic career has developed by becoming a member of several art groups, attending demonstrations of local artists, and exhibiting her artworks at local clubs and country exhibitions.  

Michelle is inspired by the plants and animals in her local environment and she aims to show her respect for them in her art. One day she would like to paint a very large canvas.

The best advice Michelle has received is "don't listen to negativity".

Licy Mathew

Licy discovered her passion for painting at school, thanks to a talented art teacher who encouraged her. Although no one in her family had an artistic background, Licy was drawn to art and she won first prize in a school competition. Since then, Licy has been moved and inspired by the works of masters she's seen in galleries in Italy, UK, USA, and France.

After retiring from a busy career, Licy has rekindled that passion, particularly through oil painting. SheI began by painting places she had visited: Venice, Alice Springs, Iguazu Falls, and the mountains and lakes of British Columbia. She also explored portraiture, capturing both family members and pets. Currently, she is focused on still life painting. Training with local artists and learning from renowned masters online helped Licy to refine her skills.

Nothing brings her greater joy and peace than being immersed in the creative process. Through her work, Licy strives to reflect the beauty she sees in the world, even amidst its challenges. Her paintings are a celebration of peace, light, and the quiet resilience of nature. Licy works from a home studio, which overlooks the Indian Ocean and is bathed in light.

The best advice Licy has received is: Don’t over-paint what the eye sees. Instead, aim to suggest the form with minimal strokes, allowing the viewer’s imagination to complete the picture. This approach has deeply influenced Licy's painting style.

Licy is immensely grateful to the art lovers, groups, teachers, and fellow artists who have shown her kindness. Their support and encouragement has meant the world to her.

Hannah Nyx

Hannah is a Perth-based artist and art therapist, working at the intersection of creative practice and therapeutic process. Her career has evolved through a slow layering of different roles – community work, therapy, and art all weaving into each other. Hannah's path has been ethically driven, propelled by humanitarian issues and her desire to understand why people and society are as they are.

Her work explores the contradictions of human experience – where clarity slips, imperfections remain, and meaning emerges through tension, obscurity, and unresolved forms. Drawing from both disciplines, Hannah brings a quiet appreciation for humour and absurdity amidst the dark or mundane. She thinks humour cuts through the heaviness in useful ways. Her biggest influences are personal experiences, observations of flawed and cruel systems; also surrealism, psychological symbolism, and artists who make space for ambiguity and contradiction.

Hannah's dream project would be something process-based and collaborative, with room to make a mess and not know the outcome; ideally something that crosses into therapeutic or community space, but isn’t too neat or prescriptive.

Susan Payne

Susan has enjoyed being part of the WA art scene over the last 24 years, which has helped her develop her art. A self-taught watercolourist, she has been an active member of the Watercolour Society of WA and the Ocean View Art Group. Susan generally paints in a realist style but ventures into abstract looser style occasionally. Through her work, she aims to show how versatile and wonderful the watercolour medium is. Susan is influenced by many things: visiting different countries and studying how they use colour and different subjects, attending workshops, and discussing with her watercolour friends. Susan has exhibited throughout Western Australia, Australia, and internationally.

Laura Peden

Laura has dreamt of being an artist since her teens. Her first career was in classical music, but she kept drawing and creating when she could. Focussing on visual art feels like a sort of home-coming. Laura's art practice investigates the dialogue between humans and the natural landscape: how we perceive the landscape, how it affects us, how we affect it, and how she can best communicate these experiences to others. Laura has an innate urge to paint and it makes her happy, "even when it is hard and nothing works!" Talking to other artists is also very motivating for her. Laura's favourite piece of advice is to define what success means to you. And to Just Do It! (Thank you Nike and Karen Frankel!)

Marion Power

Marion has always enjoyed drawing and painting, and has been able to pursue more since retiring. She belongs to several art groups including WatercoloursWA. Marion loves using colours, organic shapes, and experimenting with different techniques, and likes the spontaneity of watercolours flowing and mixing together.

To overcome creative blocks, Marion plays with paint on scraps of paper to see where it goes or she flips through one of her art books for inspiration. Marion works in her home studio room, which she set up specifically for art, with large drawers for paper storage under a long work top on one wall and upright compartments under another benchtop for storing frames. A third ‘sit at’ bench is under windows. She has plenty of space but says it always seems cluttered as she is not the tidiest artist!!

Bruce Reid

Tell us a bit about yourself:

Born on a narrow Island between a Sea and an Ocean, deep in the South Pacific. Caught a Leaky 737 to Australia. Been here ever since. What does your work aim to say?

Not a lot, each work follows its own journey, exploring an idea or concept or some visual image, cue or lead. If I look back at them, I will freeze. Make up your own minds.

Who or what are your biggest influences?

A diversity of influences and references tick away in this head. We live in a global world. Modernity as shattered our individual family and tribal narrative. Some days I wish the gods still live in the nearby sacred mountain, twisting river or roaring sea. That caravan has moved on, so people like me patch together what best we can to make sense of it all. A Scots/Irish Celtic, Anglo-Saxion, Nordic, Neanderthal fresh from painting walls of the cave. Part of one of the longest broken, reconfiguring, continuously re-emerging, habitually re-evolving cultures in the world.

How has your career developed and evolved? Landscape design leaned into plan graphics, presentation drawings and megalith monument making, to stone lithography, plant dying, wax resist to printmaking, oil painting and making, and more making. Line dominates my work. Not helped by a decade of working with AutoCAD which gave me an aversion to perfection and the machine interface. I must now draw with a stick in the sand to regain my humanity. Love of nature, the balance and interplay of ordered systems within chance and chaos. Finally, Art saved me from a life of eternal dedication to home renovation. If I don’t paint or draw, I build.

What's your workspace like?

I threw the car out and sold the motorbike to fit the printing press. But the sirens call of domestic tasks always sings in the background. I miss access to a dedication studio space. A sanctuary where art is allowed. A place where artists interact, share, inspire, and are supported.

How do you overcome creative blocks?

Have a comfortable studio chair in which to review work progress and meditate; think, allow ideas to bounce around meet other ideas, celebrate the tangent. Cultivate the ephemeral open space between conscious world and sleep. Often found at two in the morning. Have a note book to write down thoughts in shorthand as it will be a vague memory in the morning. A dyslexic brain with a visual bias helps [it’s a veritable random lost and found]. Free my eyes from societies cultural coding to better see what’s just in front of me. We live in a place where the sun drowns, bleaches and burns, the horizon rolls on like a wave and my minds eye craves flight to make sense of it.

How do you stay motivated in your art practice?

It’s something I just do. A deep need. Creativity demands expression. Spend time with other artists and art lovers who realise it is not a foolishness or just a distracting hobby.

Dan Robinson

Dan has always been interested in photography and super 8 movie cameras. In 2014, he bought his first digital camera and set about learning all about the technical aspects. However, he really enjoys being creative with his camera. Influenced by Pep Ventosa, Dan builds his painterly images through multiple exposures in camera (not in editing software).  

Read more about Dan in our previous article


Susan Robinson

Susan has been painting for most of her adult life and has produced human and animal portraits and landscape art for commission. Her recent work is her first foray into creating art from her imagination, for herself.

Derek Schapper

Derek lives in the great southern region of Western Australia. For Derek, nature is the greatest artist and influence of all and he is constantly inspired by nature. 

Derek began whittling in the back shed 15 years ago. Self taught, he has been experimenting ever since, and is transitioning from woodwork to artworks using timber in different ways.  

To overcome creative blocks and stay motivated, Derek works in his garden.

Derek has exhibited at Boranup Gallery, Margaret River, and Future Shelter Gallery and Store, North Perth; his artworks are stocked in design stores nationally and internationally.

Margaret Van Keppel

Margaret is a textile artist. Her enthusiasm for textiles began during her teens, when she learnt dressmaking, and her interest has been continuous. Over time, she incorporated felting, patchwork, embroidery, collage, and beading. Non-traditional embroidery is her current focus, and she prefers to up-cycle fabrics, paper, and threads where possible.

Margaret has always been entranced by fabrics and textiles and finds that working with these mediums is soothing. Her biggest influences are family, her long-standing love of the world and magic of textiles, and the comforting/nurturing influences of nature. She is inspired by colour, nature, and increasingly: chaos and order.

Margaret has found more time and energy for her creative interests as family and work commitments diminished. She balances her art and home life with difficulty, but makes time for her art practice, has dedicated space to call her own, and creates with friends/other creatives.

The best advice Margaret has received is "Play, don’ take it too seriously".

Louise Wells

Louise has a diverse art practice, ranging from small hand stitched works to large scale outdoor ephemeral sculptures. She uses hand and machine stitch, fabric manipulation, and simple weaving and printing techniques to create contemporary textile artworks. Her work is inspired by the lost beauty in the ordinary, domestic life, family stories, local history, observations on current events and the impacts of textile production.

Louise has exhibited in numerous group and jury selected exhibitions. She was a finalist in Bunbury Biennale 2023, International Fibre Art Australia 2025 & 2023, Australia Wide 8 2022, twentyFIVE+ 2022, York Botanic Art Prize 2021, Collie Art Prize (CAP) and Australian Textile Award 2020. In 2019 her work was selected for Cultura Diffusa, Como Italy and Fiber Arts IX, California USA. She is a five times finalist in Wearable Art Mandurah, winning the Avant Garde category in 2017. Solo exhibitions include Of Our Time - Ordinary Lives 2018, Suburban Secrets 2021 and Visible Traces 2024. Louise’s work is held in public and private collections.

Louise loves researching a theme, delving into a museum collection and creating works in response to those discoveries. As Artist in Residence at York Residency Museum in 2024, her work focused on women who lived and worked in the building throughout the past 170 years.

Once Louise starts work on something, ideas start to flow for other projects. She finds that leaving her work out and simply starting where she left off really helps with motivation. Also having a deadline is a great motivator to work in her studio.

It can be challenging for Louise to balance her personal life and art practice. As the main carer of her son, who has Down Syndrome, he takes priority. Having a studio at home, means Louise can work around his needs and those of the family. She works at night and wouldn’t do that if she had to travel to another location. When she works in her studio, she gets interrupted a lot, and she has adapted ways of working that she can stop and start quickly.

In addition, Louise owns and curates @galleryby12th a mini street art gallery at the front of her home in Inglewood!
