Artists are invited to submit their work for selection in order to be included in “International Contemporary Artists” 5th edition,
an international art book with artworks from artists all over the world.
“I.C.A” is a series of art books aiming to connect artists and buyers in a direct and effective way.

All artists know the importance of participating in exhibitions, shows, books and several other publications. This way they can show the work in a vast audience and find their way to success. Also they create an important background which helps them in their future projects.
In this international art book we present artists from all over the world, whose work we believe is worth presenting.

We are in the process to select contemporary artists to be featured in the book.
If you are an artist or gallery, interested, we would be delighted to review your submission.

The fifth volume of the book that will be published in the end of October is already in progress.

The artist’s presentation includes 1-2 images of his/her work and a short essay.

“International Contemporary artists” will be distributed through large wholesalers such as Amazon, etc.

We hope that you’ll find this project very interesting and that you will join us.

School student Art Classes- Term 3 Enrolments Now Open

A reminder that term 3 childrens class enrolments are now open, please be quick as some time slots are filling fast.
We are continuing to bring new ways to teach drawing and painting skills that our young artists need to develop
Firstly – the lesson plans for this term have been prepared by an international exhibiting artist who lives in New Jersey.
The children will benefit from the approach and methods used in the plans.

Parents are welcome to come and browse through the lesson plans.  You will find a folder at each studio that contains a copy of the plans.
Secondly we have asked Cristina Aura to lead an advanced childrens class in drawing leading to portraiture in the Baulkham Hills studio at 9am on Saturdays
Cristina holds a Master of Visual Arts and is a member of Portrait Artists Australia.  She has taught at SCEGGS for a number of years.
She has been teaching a highly successfully course for adults at Sydney Art School and her unique way of
teaching drawing will help the more motivated and focussed children take their art to a new level.

Please visit our website for class times and venues

2012.

2. Explain your current body of work

My upcoming show, Tree Ballad, is a series of landscape paintings that explore the
mystical qualities of the natural environment, and reflect an intimate journey into an
imagined whimsical world. Whilst the series is not a realist rendering of specific places,
the landscapes depicted are based on the very real connections I feel with the natural
world. These works have involved a process of initially distilling images onto small
sketches, followed by an intensive seventeenth century Dutch paint layering technique on
canvass.

3. If you can pick one artist as an inspiration, who would it be and why?

There are many Dutch artists in the seventeenth century that inspire me. The technique
they use and the mood that they are able to capture is pretty astounding. If I had to pick
one artist, it’ll have to be Jacob van Ruisdael.

4. With your art/art practice, where would you like to be in 10 years?

The dream, like most artists, is to be able to practice art full time. It’s a pretty simple
dream; of having the space and creative freedom to do what I love.

5. How are you finding the current art market?

The thing that I have discerned about the art market is that there is always demand for art
that is of a good quality. I can’t be too preoccupied about trends in the market if I want to
have the freedom to produce works that satisfy me at the creative level.

6. Name four things that you cannot do without in your studio?

Easel, good lighting, storage space and oil paints.

7. In the arts, is social media helpful or not, and why?

Yes! Being an artist is often a very solitary experience. Social media helps to connect
artists, share ideas, and promote our work.

8. What was the funniest thing you’ve heard someone say about your work?

That the trees in a painting look like “bunny ears” – well observed, but not intentional.

9. What is next on the agenda?

I will be looking forward to taking a breather from the studio after the show and some
traveling, which is always a source of inspiration.

10) What is your advice to children who want to be artists?

Be optimistic and don’t let others’ negativity influence you.
