Antoinette Ferwerda
Antoinette Ferwerda is a mother, a gallery owner and an Australian artist known for creating bold artworks with a masterful use of colour and texture. From an early age Antoinette has been drawn to the alluring world of art, creating deep connections through abstract and metaphysical representations of the world around us.
Working in her studio situated behind the Gallery, Antoinette creates every artwork with her signature positive energy, artistic finesse and a wealth of experience. Her mixed media techniques set her work apart, harnessing transparent layering and rich inky drips just as important to her process as her sources of creative inspiration. These careful and skilful steps result in beautifully textured art that heroes colour, depth and flow. Expansive florals become universal realms, three-dimensional panels shift architectural paradigms and memorable rhythmic arches are instantly identifiable. VIEW ARTWORK

Celina Klohk
Engaging in a multidisciplinary approach to her work, Celina Klohk pursues ideas around phenomenology, subjectivity and unique nature of modern day anxieties. Personal memories, imagination and the ominous presence of cyber-culture come together in an iterative process to re-create mundane moments, amplifying these specific experiences and allowing them to develop into new fictional narratives. Moments of solitude contrast busy group gatherings, introspection contrasts a forgotten self.

Erica D'Ali
Erica D’Ali graduated from National Art School in 2024 with a Master of Fine Arts. Her work delicately navigates the space between familiarity and detachment, tracing the threads of her European heritage and weaving these together with her Australian identity.
Through a lens both personal and playful, Erica’s paintings focus on disappearing rituals of family culture, offering thoughtful reflections on how the past continues to shape the present. Her evocative use of pasta-making as metaphor brings a gentle wit and charm to each piece, capturing the layered nature of cultural memory with intimacy and grace. With vibrant colour and rich storytelling, each oil and acrylic painting explores memory, identity and tradition with charm and depth. A captivating collection for those beginning or deepening their journey into meaningful, thoughtfully curated art. VIEW ARTWORK
