Bryce BROWN
Bryce has been a full-time artist since 2005 and has had eight solo exhibitions.
On his distinctive earthy figurative style, Bryce says “I like to explore positive human emotion and activity through my paintings. I’m always drawn to large scale boldness and always accentuate form as well as the division and entwinement of positive/negative space and masculine/feminine elements.”

Lisa CHRISTIANSEN
The inspiration for Lisa’s latest work is the enchanted, wildly imaginative worlds of the young. Capturing the innocence, beauty and atmosphere of a fleeting time when we are free to dream and be anything we wished to be, gravity was just a word and the world felt safe.
