She studied art at the Nash School of Art in Durban, South Africa and later took a sidestep into graphic design, advertising and publishing.

Having studied Feng Shui, Charlene is influenced by the strong energy vibration of colour and how different colours influence and affect the energy in us and our homes. She experiments with the different vibrations of colour combinations by testing with dowsing rods.

Charlene holds the strong belief that colour influences the energy around us.

Ever since Fi can remember, she has always loved art- admiring it, creating it, teaching it and exhibiting it!

She vividly remembers standing at an easel in Kindergarten, painting a massive daisy with everyone standing around admiring it. The feeling of excitement painting this daisy, the reaction of others - and how much joy it gave - was the best feeling!!

Fi completed her Visual Arts degree and Diploma in Education and for 13 years she taught as a Visual Arts teacher.

In 2012 she launched Art Kids on the Hill - a studio space in Gooseberry Hill, where she runs art classes and workshops for children and adults.

Sarah was born in England where she studied art for a couple of years before moving on to Fashion Design and Textiles.

After raising a family whilst working in various creative based jobs, she moved to Perth where she began working as an Interior Stylist and Visual Merchandiser.

Little did Sarah realise that picking up a sketchbook and pen to doodle (as a form of self-healing through a tough time) would not only lead her to developing her art business, but also provide the opportunity to share her love and knowledge of creating with others!

Much of her artwork depicts dreamy, surreal scenes, often centred around nature and ‘losing herself’ there! She is grateful everyday that she re-connected with her inner artist.

Kaye grew up in the Wheatbelt town of Merredin. After relocating to Perth in the early 1980’s she took her first art lessons, learning traditional drawing. Although working full time as a state public servant, Kaye continued taking lessons whenever time permitted.

In 2009, Kaye completed certificates in Fine Art and Contemporary Craft at C Y O’Connor TAFE and in 2010, began studies for a Diploma in Visual Art & Craft.

Inspired by early icons and images, ancient frescoes and mosaics, cave paintings and rock art, Kaye’s works have evolved to be bordering on abstract, yet representation is always present in them. The natural world is an endless source of subjects for Kaye, and folklore and mythology often feature in her works.

Influenced by Goya, Turner, Picasso and Australian artists Joy Hester, Arthur Boyd and Brett Whiteley, Kaye likes to work in mixed media on paper. She especially loves using liquid mediums, incorporating other materials such as pigment, gouache, collage and various pastels.

Kaye has held three solo exhibitions and received 67 awards. Her works have been acquired for collections in Australia and internationally.

As an artist, I seek to capture the quiet, untainted beauty that exists in the world around us- a beauty that often goes unnoticed in the rush of life. 

My work is born from a place of wonder, a space where the heart remains open, and the soul finds peace in the simplicity of being.

I am drawn to the purity of nature’s rhythms and the delicate whispers of fleeting moments that remind us of life’s inherent magic.

Through my art, I aim to create a world that invites the viewer to pause, to breathe, and to reconnect with the untouched essence of existence. In every line, every hue, I seek to evoke a sense of wonder that transcends time, a reminder that the world is still full of marvels—waiting to be seen with eyes that see beyond the surface. My work celebrates the quiet grace of innocence that lives within all of us, and the delicate strength that arises from embracing the world with an open heart.

 By embracing this spirit, I hope to inspire others to find joy in simplicity, to rediscover the peace that comes from seeing the world as it truly is—beautiful, fleeting, and full of possibility.
