4. ANITA PHILLIPS is a hills artist who working in oils, paints atmospheric and moody landscapes, cloudscapes and the occasional still life. Having grown up in the Wheatbelt of WA, she often depicts themes associated with her family farm and the open expanses of the agricultural landscape. This fascination with skies is a recurring theme in much of her work. Anita’s paintings speak to a sense of nostalgia and moments in time – more an impression than a specific depiction of landscape. Her studio opens on to the verandah of her weatherboard home, a 110-year-old example of an original Kalamunda cottage. Surrounded by gardens, her studio is easily accessed from Recreation Road. Parking available on the street verge. The studio does not have wheel chair access. https://www.anitaphillips.com.au/

He has exhibited with many Galleries since the 1950's and is currently with Linton & Kay.

7. HAYWARD STUDIO George Hayward studied Art and Design first at Cambridge and later at Chelmsford in the UK. He pursued his ambition to be a full time painter and also worked in ceramics on the Isle of Wight before emigrating to Australia. Now fortunate to have his own purpose built rammed earth studio in Kalamunda he is able to combine his own painting time with that of running “just paint” art classes. His preference is acrylic although he also works in oils and pastel. With an impatient and spontaneous style, acrylics allow him the freedom he requires. Nature and landscape have always been a major influence in his work. However, he paints whatever stirs his emotions, especially those that rise from deep within. Helen Hayward loves to paint, loves the process of painting and keenly continues to explore techniques which enable her to express feelings and emotions which arise from an intense connection with nature and the landscape. 8. CHRIS OXBERRY was born in London, UK and emigrated to Australia shortly after marrying. She has been a teacher all her adult life, specialising in English as a Second Language to adult migrants and teaching primary school children, including as an art specialist. Chris has always been interested in art and has studied at various institutions and at privately -run studios, focussing on a wide range of disciplines including ceramics, drawing and painting using mainly acrylics, oils and pastels. Subject matter is varied and has been largely inspired by her travels both in Australia and overseas. Chris works from her studio in Windy Ridge Lane, Kalamunda and can be contacted by phone on (08) 9293 4275 or by email at [email protected]. More examples of Chris's work can be seen at www.windyridgestudio.blogspot.com

11. MOIRA COURT I am a printmaker and children's book illustrator working predominantly with woodcuts and lino prints combined with silkscreen prints using hand cut paper stencils. My work is inspired by nature, conservation, folklore and folkart.

9. SANDIE SCHRODER has been living in the Perth hills for the past 12 years. Living amongst the bush environment has directly impacted her art work. The threat of fire is shown through her works by the techniques she uses to create her pieces. Sandie burns the archival paper to produce her images using a variety of tools and techniques. She has had many close calls when creating these pieces, with them literally going up in smoke as the burning got out of control, reinforcing the ever present threat of fire, living amongst our volatile bushland. Sandie has a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree majoring in Painting and Sculpture from Curtin University. Her works have been hung in public and private collections and galleries nationally. Her art can be seen at Linton & Kay Galleries Mandoon Estate and to see more of images go to www.facebook.com/SandieSchroderArtist http://www.lintonandkay.com.au/artists/sandie-schroder/

10. SANDRA HALL My current focus is on raw nature in the landscape. The small and common is given a close scrutiny with a view to exposing the the extraordinary fragility and beauty there. The ongoing consciousness of the loss of biodiversity under population pressure drives my thinking as well as a childhood on a coffee plantation in South India where the natural world was dominant. Scientific illustrations inform some of the layout of my prints but don’t want to be merely descriptive and Midland with its power pylons and earth moving machinery offers powerful symbols about landscape. Some ideas come from my back garden, others from the hills environs and iconic places around Western Australia and North Queensland.

“ Disappearing Beauties” I am working on multi block lino prints. My concerns are with animals and landscape. This one is a protest print about local bush habitat that is a corridor for the Red-Tail Black Cockatoo. I try to combine signs with the image to convey a meaning.

12. PAUL MORO studied Industrial Design at WAIT (now known as Curtin University) in the early 80’s. He went on to become a lecturer in Industrial Design at Curtin University, while also running his own business in Design. By the early 90’s when making Robotic equipment for Industrial use he was inspired to return to his artistic roots and began creating metal sculptures. This has now become his full time passion. Paul has had artworks on display at many galleries in WA and most recently received a commission by the Kalamunda Historical Society to produce a piece of work that depicted the history of Kalamunda including the Zig Zag railway. This has now been installed on the side of one of their buildings in the History Village. His studio is in Walliston surrounded by both native and manufactured wildlife and fauna! It is easily accessed via the Zig Zag railway reserve walk track, by car or on foot. Phone: 0408 953 496.

13. ANDREA VINKOVIC Andrea Vinkovic is a ceramic artist inspired by fragility, organic beauty and delicate balance of natural environment, and intrigued by parallels with cultural environment. Her work is inspired by microscopic images of pollens, planktons, molecules and natural structures. Vinkovic completed an Advanced Diploma of Art and Craft in ceramics at Central Institute of Technology in 2002. She has exhibited her work in Perth and across Australia since 2001, including participation in invitational exhibition and workshops in Gangjin, S. Korea, national ceramic conferences in Bendigo, Brisbane & Sydney, UWA and Sculpture by the Sea Cottesloe and Bondi. Her ceramic work ranges from very delicate and intimate works, to large outdoor sculptures. http://andrea-ceramics.blogspot.com.au/

14. GAIL DOUST KEIRLE grew up on her family farm near Manjimup, deep in the Jarrah and Marri Forests of South Western Australia, before spending her early adult life in suburban Perth. In 2005 she moved to Lesmurdie in the hills east of Perth, and again connected to the forests which now inspire her to explore their beauty in watercolours. Starting in 2008, she was privileged to have watercolour lessons with Virginia Ward who shared her passion for the subtle colours and movement of the Swan River waters and foreshores. In 2009 Gail began to attend workshops and then private tuition with Lori Neuzerling. Gail’s insights and influences come during hours of wandering, observing and collecting. Much time is spent meditating, sitting in, and being in awe of, our wonderful forests, deserts and waterways. She also spends a great deal of time in her trusty camper van adventuring around our wonderful country. Favourite inspirations now come from honky nuts, bark, leaves, birds’ nests, lichens and mushrooms and fungi. One of Gail’s greatest pleasures comes from sharing the beauty and depths of her paintings and this has led to several commissions, a Lion’s Art Award and many visitors to her Lesmurdie garden and studio.
