Sharing these fascinating, complex photographic prints is simply a joy. This is what Kay has to say:

I enjoy creating these images to capture the action of the dove wings moving that is not easily seen by the naked eye due to the speed of the movement. It is an image that although of a high speed action I feel it is soft and gentle in experiencing it frozen in this moment of time; as the dove is a symbol of peace and thus intentional as my subject matter.

Sometimes the gift register can be helpful particularly if you don’t know the couple very well, they are interstate or overseas or if they already live together and you just don’t have a clue if they already have more than one toaster?

For me, I’m a bit of rebel when it comes to buying from the gift register; I like the challenge of looking for something that makes me think of the couple and also to share my passions such as original art.

So, are you looking for a unique wedding gift? A one-off? You want to rebel against the wedding register list?

Have you considered an original artwork?

This week a new client offered her daughter to choose an original artwork from our current exhibition, Seasons. She set a budget and her daughter and husband-to-be chose a piece a few days later which will now be displayed at their wedding reception. Your thoughts? Mine: ….nice! I particularly liked the fact that the mother allowed the couple to make the choice themselves given art tastes are so personal particularly from a couple point of view. In that what you may enjoy as an individual may be slightly different in a couple as you consider both people’s tastes.

Back to the exhibition theme…. yes so… each of our member artists were invited to create a new work, 4 in fact, one for each season – you know Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter – and I have curated them across the 4 gallery rooms plus a stock room (in the 5th gallery room) which is generating alot of interest. The motivation behind the stock room is to display as much work as possible as we are an online art gallery.

But I must confess after curating and installing the Seasons exhibition, when I entered the stock room it felt like I was installing a whole new exhibition. Which indeed I was – with 50 works on display. But this gallery is focusing on small to medium sized works.

Yolande’s work is often marked by a metaphysical orchestration of colour yet simultaneously retains a delicate sensibility of presence, performing an opera of gestures and painterly manoeuvres. Tempestuous flourishes evoke a sense of drama, these paintings are romantic in essence; in their application, they are guided by intuition, natural process and mood.
