James Guppy
James Guppy is a contemporary Australian artist living in the small coastal town of Byron Bay in northern NSW. His medium of choice varies from painting to assemblage. His narratives use the traditions of western figurative painting to explore contemporary issues with a surreal and absurdist twist. These dramatic paintings and art works examine social issues through the lens of western art history. The paintings reference artists and traditions such as J.M. Turner, Piero della Francesca, Dutch Baroque painting and the Pre-Raphaelites.

Christina Khumari
Established as a custom goldsmith, emerging as a sculptor and painter, Christina Khumari's skills and expertise cover various areas. She has spent over twenty years working in precious metals and gemstones, five years concentrating on larger scale sculpture in various materials and found objects, and a lifetime addressing an irrepressible need to create. "That place where one thing becomes another, where realistic images become abstract, where abstraction becomes recognisable, where everyday objects become strange and strange becomes fascinating, that is the place where all the possibilities exist. That is the place that I attempt to draw out and bring attention to, that place in all of us that is full of wonder."
