Known for its pristine waters, the Clyde River, or Bhunduu as the local Walbunja people call it, runs from the rugged coastal mountain ranges and travels over 100 km to reach the Tasman Sea at Batemans Bay.
The Clyde Gallery has spaces suitable for both permanent and temporary exhibits by travelling, regional and student artists. These prominent exhibition and gallery spaces provide a world-class gallery experience for the community.
When: November/December
Who: Camelle Denny
In 1988 Camelle’s family moved to the UK, where the soft atmospheric landscapes became embedded in her soul. Majestic mountains and lush valleys of Europe greatly inspired her. Whilst in the UK Camelle became a certified “Bob Ross Instructor”.
Relocating back to the Central Coast NSW, with Seascapes galore, painting from her heart, she was inspired to capture the Natures’ elements. The awesome power and beauty of our waterways, be they still or moving, as she sees and feels them.
For Camelle “Art is a Visual Expression of her Emotions”
Camelle is an Exhibiting member of Australian Society of Marine Artists. And regularly exhibits at the Mogo Gallery.
Recent awards include, Newcastle Art Prize Highly Commended; Carnevale, Best Exhibit in Show, TLAS; Gosford Art Prize Finalist 2017,2019; River Of Art Prize Finalist 2023.
Camelle predominantly used oils and Acrylic flow, (“variety is the spice of life” ) using a number of techniques to express herself.
There is an intriguing dichotomy between the undeniable nature of life’s impermanence and our need to grasp what the Romantics termed, ‘the eternal moment’. For me the perpetual movement of light through sky and water epitomises this binary opposition.
In water and sky and light we are gifted a visual reminder that the memories, the experiences we grasp as true, are constantly shifting and changing, becoming ideas of a moment in time, depending on the experiences we bring to the reminiscence.
Like shards of light piercing the surface of the water or flickering on a wave or breaking through clouds…
The paradox is not lost on me however that even though I can philosophically acknowledge the place of impermanence in my world, I am also trying to hold tight to what is essentially a blink of the eye, an out- breath.
Kristen has always drawn or painted and never thought there was anything unusual about doing so. Faces, fashions, forests, fantasies , outdoors, indoors, and whatever … she refer to them “as my inner, far and dream scapes. “ Much like playing the piano, painting has been a way to express my feelings, dreams and hopes all my life.”
After art school in the 80’s, Kristen exhibited in galleries in Canberra, Adelaide, Sydney, Brisbane as well as the Sunshine Coast and hinterland. Work from those years can be found in government, corporate and private collections and the Art Bank. Following an illness and recovery, Kristen stopped painting and taught instead for Queensland Education until she retired to the South Coast of New South Wales, where she has begun to paint again in this beautiful, calm environment.
Margaret has drawn and painted since childhood. Originally growing up in Melbourne, moving to Canberra at the age of 17 where she did further studies in Art.
A Malua Bay Resident, Margaret, with her husband John, after being a part time resident of Durras for many years they retired to the NSW South Coast from Canberra in 1999. The beauty, peace and serenity she feels in this corner of the world inspires her to paint, and besides family, painting is the love of her life. Art is her “expression”, it is challenging.
Margaret studied at the ANU doing courses which covered life drawing, etching, lino cut and oils. After which she then furthered her studies doing more courses in oils and water colour. In 2001 Margaret discovered the beauty of pastels and since then most of her work features the pastel medium.
Margaret is a member of Creative Arts Batemans Bay and the South Coast Pastel Society, both groups holding several exhibitions throughout the year.
Her work can be currently viewed at her own Studio/Gallery “Around Art” at Malua Bay, by appointment only. Margaret has previously exhibited at the Aarwon Gallery in Canberra, and was a regular exhibitor at the Canberra Times Out door Art Show, has held numerous solo exhibitions both in the ACT and NSW. Also being involved with various exhibitions in NSW and Canberra and receiving many awards for her work over the years.
Margaret works with all art mediums, and her versatile approach allows her to cover a variety of styles from the traditional to the abstract. Her works are predominantly the Australian Landscape, but she also loves to do a variety of subjects including still life and portraits.
