Lizzy Simunovic
Lizzy Simunovic is a Sydney-based painter whose work celebrates the light, rhythm and energy of the Australian landscape. Inspired by time spent outdoors, her paintings capture the emotional experience of being immersed in nature.
Working primarily in acrylic on stretched canvas, Lizzy creates expressive landscapes using layered brushwork, mixed media and palette knife techniques. Through vibrant colour, texture and dynamic mark-making, she explores the rhythms of natural forms and the vitality of water and coastal environments.
Rather than replicating a landscape exactly as it appears, Lizzy focuses on translating the feeling of a place; the warmth of sunlight filtering through trees, the cool shadows of the bush, and the powerful motion of the sea.
Through her paintings, Lizzy aims to share the uplifting energy and beauty of the Australian landscape.

I use paint and graphite to explore what my words couldn’t
Natasha Foxley
Natasha Foxley’s paintings capture ethereal and phantasmic domains, hidden behind third dimensional realities and brought to life through surrealist technique. Her compulsive tendency towards escapism extends itself in her art as she utilises it as a way to enter between the realms that exist around us. Working within the early hours of dawn, the time in which the modern world sleeps and the shadows come out to play, the night guides her through a series of hypnotic and elusive states. Her art becomes a form of divination, her transgressive use of medium merely a method of capturing the various ways in which reality can be broken down and the truth can finally be revealed.
Sarah Frost
Sarah is a highly versatile, award-winning visual artist based in the Northwest of Sydney specialising in oil painting, drawing and collage. Throughout her 10-year career Sarah has delved into various areas of interest including botanical studies, portraiture, murals and architectural documentation. Her current focus is a return to her life-long obsession with Surrealism, this time through narrative and figurative landscapes with the goal to capture and translate the mood, atmosphere and imagery of dreams and subconscious nostalgia.
