Bree is an oil painter, exploring colour and intricate brushwork while trying to convey the personality and individuality of our native birds. Originals and prints available, works in progress as well as finished pieces.

Ronald Boersen is a potter, ceramic artist, glaze nerd, and educator. In his ceramic work he explores the materiality of clay – freezing a moment of creation in fire. His pots are functional in nature, though hope to evoke an experience beyond the mere utilitarian, exploring touch and texture.
