With a background in architecture, It Hao Pheh combines earthy tones with great imagination and creativity in his rendering of buildings and conversely, nature . We welcome him as one of our Guest Artists.
Pierina Sannia is one of our Guest Artists for the 2025 show. Her vivid, detailed and life-like pastel works are a joy to behold.
The 2025 Show will exhibit fabulous works from some very talented artisans.
We have the superb and sophisticated ceramics of John Stroomer and beautiful, organic and earthy ceramic tiles, pots and bowls from Marta Gola, who has entered some artwork as well.
Then for something completely different, the talented Jean Sheridan will showcase her quirky and delightful lamps made from old dress patterns - they are whimiscal and dreamy.
Last, but not least, we have the fun nautical sculptures and pieces from Deb Jacob, sourced from recycled bits of driftwood and sail materials.
The time is drawing nearer for our 53rd show!
Our team have been working hard to bring all the different elements together to ensure a fabulous, streamlined show to be enjoyed by not only our visitors, but our artists who have put so much effort into their works.
Our Guest Artists will be It Hao Pheh and Pierina Sannia and it is fascinating to see such different talents at work creating truly beautiful art to grace art-lovers walls. We have four artisans as well to exhibit their ceramics and sculptures.
