    ABOUT THE ARTISTS

    Amanda O’Bryan is Australian artist based in the Hunter Valley NSW. Her organic compositions are abstract expressions of intentional collision.

    In her work, Amanda explores the abandonment of 'self' in the presence of 'Self'. Themes of happenstance, cause and effect, luck, change and connection forges rivers, pools and veins of diluted acrylic stain and wash that bleed across the canvas. The energy of gestural mark making reveal connections in time and space with a merging of paint, crayon, pencil and charcoal.

    After more than two decades working in the creative industries, Amanda’s recent return to the Hunter region has strongly influenced the direction of her recent art making and reclaimed her sensibility as an artist. Amanda studied Visual Arts and holds a BA in Design (Graphic), both from the University of Newcastle. More recently she trained at the Creative Education Foundation in New York. Amanda is the founder of Creative Queen Bees and author of the book, ‘Daily Acts Of Creativity’, where she promotes the benefits of creativity for improved wellbeing. She was one of three artists under mentor-ship at the Newcastle Art Space ‘Atelier’ with John Morris. She was a finalist in the 2018 Newcastle Emerging Artist Prize and winner of the ‘Packers Prize’.

    Alanya van de Wiel is a Newcastle based painter originally from Melbourne, born 1977. Her work attempts to capture moments of beauty experienced in everyday life. Moving from Melbourne city to coastal NSW has influenced her work significantly.

    Her work is notable for its poised, hovering forms born of concentrated line work and detailed patterns with a focus on achieving a delicate compositional balance. She primarily works in acrylic and oil paint, inks and pencils.

    Alanya has a rich background in the creative industry. With a certificate in Visual Art (1999) and a Post Graduate Degree in Animation from the Victorian College of the Arts (2000), she is also a published illustrator, award winning stop motion film maker, film director and exhibited artist. Qualifications in Psychology, Counseling and Art Therapy and years travelling and living overseas contribute an emotional depth to her work.

    She is one of three artists practicing as part of John Morris’ Atelier Group. Working towards two exhibitions in 2020, under the mentorship of John Morris, has given Alanya’s work new clarity and authenticity.

    Geoffrey Holmes-Howitt studied architecture and environmental studies at the University of Newcastle which included visual arts electives.

    Geoffrey worked as an architect until now, being semi-retired has given more time to be creative in the visual arts field.Geoffrey has taken a leaf from satellite imagery and remote sensing, where artificial colour is added to images to explain and explore attributes and changes in desired landscape study area, a similar approach has been taken to explore the under-lying forms and patterns found in natural and man-made objects.
