INGRID OSTBERG
As a child I was surrounded by beautiful gardens and music. I have always been fascinated by plants, flowers and the interaction of insects, birds and butterflies in the garden which was my haven. I would spend hours with my terrier sitting under a hedge or in amongst the flowers watching the sunlight dappling the lawns and gardens and following the movement as the breeze rustled the branches.
I draw or paint figuratively when outside to record the contours, shapes and colours from the landscape but when in the studio my work becomes an abstraction of this reference material.
JOANNE EVERARD
Joanne Everard (formerly Pearcy), a wildlife artist and working mum, creates artworks from her home studio in Lilydale, often with a focus on Australia's threatened and endangered species.
With a passion for the conservation of wildlife and the environment, she hopes her art will help grow the viewer's awareness of nature's diversity and intrinsic value. Capturing the subject's personality and unique features in the artwork helps to create a connection to the creatures we share our land and homes with.
Her predominant medium has been colour pencil, but she is also developing a new style with acrylic paints and dabbles in pen and watercolour illustrations.
JOHN NORRIS
I have worked for three decades as a professional freelance photographer and writer, contributing to magazines internationally and shooting for major brands in the adventure sports and travel industries.
While much of my work was in the high mountains it also allowed me the opportunity to travel widely and to shoot personal work expressly for regular exhibitions in Europe. The prospect of creating images of a quality I can exhibit as framed prints is a strong motivational force in my work. I am fascinated by the process of photography as art; the discovery of subject, the technique and choice of equipment required, and the editorial choices made at every stage.
