Artist Statement: Donna Sadler

I am an Artist and Illustrator living in Melbourne, Australia. I am currently studying a Diploma of Illustration at NMIT and have previously studied a Diploma of Art & Design at London Metropolitan University completed in 2008.

I work with techniques including pen, marker, pencil and ink and I like to explore collage techniques.

My work often branches into painting using gouache, acrylic and watercolour. I like to document places in time and create a sense of nostalgia within my works, therefore I have a strong emphasis on photography within my research and final art pieces.

My work is Bold, minimal, experimental and often print making nd pattern based in style.

I have recently exhibited in Berlin at BHind Gallery -St Gaudy café in January. I have also exhibitied in Melbourne at ‘The Saloon’ in Carlton,  ‘Blue Tile Lounge’ & ‘HOW NOW gallery’ in Fitzroy and Egg Gallery in Collingwood.

Artist Statement: Julie Tran

Julie is a Melbourne based pint sized illustrations student with an ongoing passion for drawing no matter what her stage of income is.  She is ambitious and inclined to follow rules and deadlines but often becomes forgetful and careless during times of creative binging. She has a great appreciation for all things trendy and fine, and edgy with splashes of bold colour.  

Here 'Tis!

Our poster/flyer artwork is finally complete!

Artist Statement: Laura Wood

Laura Wood is an emerging illustrator currently living in Melbourne.

She was born and raised in Italy and at the age of 24, after completing a Bachelor of Cinema and Multimedia, she decided to follow the little voice in her head and move to Australia. It is amongst eucalyptus trees that she started dedicating all her energy to illustration. At the moment she is attending a Diploma of Illustration at NMIT. When she is not trying to become a full time illustrator she makes books for a living, drinks tea, watches movies and spends time with the people she loves. She also tries to be nice and friendly everyday.

Hey everyone.

Well the class has been working really hard at getting this exhibition off the ground. We have decided on a venue, the Black Cat on Brunswick Street!  A swanky, hipster bar/cafe where you are bound to see a few 'Melbourne' characters!

We are proud to announce that we will be running the exhibition from the 9th to the 27th of November!

We are also happy to tell you all about our new friend Carl at Regent Gallery who is kindly helping us out with printing and mounting costs, after all we are starving art students!!! Make sure you check him out for all your printing, mounting and framing needs!

Thats all we have for you this week, but stay tuned for more updates on the way. Keep an eye out for artist profiles and maybe a garage sale!
