During the late 60’s Elizabeth spent five years gaining an excellent academic training at art colleges in London. Elizabeth had her first exhibition with country Arts SA at the New Land Gallery in Adelaide in December 1996. Subsequently, her paintings were frequently selected for inclusion in exhibitions both in Adelaide and interstate. Country Arts SA has purchased her work for their collection and has also shown it in exhibitions travelling as far afield as Malaysia, while the Royal South Australian Society of Artists awarded her a Fellowship on the basis of merit in 1999.

Her paintings have been sold to public and private collections in Australia, America and Europe. Her work ranges between the differing demands of landscape, portraiture, still life and the nude.

Welcome to Alan Dowler Kemarra

alan — Thu, 20 Aug 2009 23:24:26 +0000

Alice Springs is my birthplace, I grew up on Pine Hill Station, a cattle station located 240kms North West of the Alice. My mother was a kaytetye woman, although most of my relatives are in the Anmatyerr language group.

I have been involved in art from a very early age, my attraction and interest in these initial years was in landscapes, and pastoral scenes. I have always been fascinated with Ancient Indigenous Rock Art.

I am always captivated by the levels of aging in the Rock Art and the many layers of colors used by the artists.

I use a combination of acrylic paints and oils applied to archers paper, this mixture allows me to get the desired aging effect with cracked backgrounds and transparent layering of my motifs.

From the pencil, india ink , he approached to acrylic and after to oil. His world is oneiric, surreal, a constant “daydream”, full of symbolisms and going to the knowledge of the man, of the thousand why of his existence, in cosmic sense, moral, intellectual. He expresses his painting in meditated way but suffered for his own intellectual tension, with lines and signs that look at the search of the subjective one “beautiful” aesthetical. He .studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in San Martino delle Scale (Palermo)and ,after, in that one of Palermo’s city.

I am a self taught artist residing on the North coast of NSW Australia. As most of my life has be spent around and in the ocean, my painting subjects are seascapes and waves. With a strong fascination of the Ocean I seek to express its movement, colours and moods and as a keen surfer much of my work is painted through the eyes of one.

My work is painted with a fascination of waves, I aim to capture the energy, colour and moods of the Ocean. My paintings are done with traditional oils.

Welcome to Kamelion Studios

alan — Mon, 13 Jul 2009 22:49:28 +0000

I find that my work is often about a story, a feeling, or a place that I have been. So in a sense reflects all aspects of my personality, the things I like and have experienced. I try to convey the emotional context through imagery and colour and often find that my work says different things to different people, allowing the viewer to experience their own version of the ‘story’. I often like to ask people what they see.

I have become quite the amateur photographer (even if I do say so myself) and I take a lot of photographs when I am travelling with the pretence of coming home and making a work to evoke that memory. I have now travelled extensively and each trip whether it be across this great land of ours or overseas I find more inspiration and more things to discover and influence my work. I’m heavily influenced by the impressionist era; the Japanese masters – Hokusai and Hokkaido; 1920’s poster art particularly works by Leonetto Capiello and Roger Broders.

I currently live and work in Ultimo and I love being so close to our Harbour; most of all I find inspiration in the every day, the quirks and comings-and-goings of inner city life.
