Kate Kurray creates unique and exciting art works.The palette of nature provides inspiration, energy and movement that form the basis of Kate's 3d work while her paintings reflect a colourful and magical world that bring to your home a special work of art that radiates joy and colour.

Robyn Russell
Robyn Russell
Robyn a self taught leather artist who has been working with leather for nearly thirty-five years thrives on the quality ,colour and versatility of this wonderful material.
"Much of my work originally was involved with the making of shoes , but variation is important for inner peace so I make other creations brightly coloured and decorated with stitching and application designs,such as bags, jewelery and small purses.
Robyn seeks her inspiration from the natural beauty that surrounds her home near the shore of Robe's beautiful Guichen Bay and the plants and animals of Robe's hinterland.
DAVID HAMIlTON
Finalist in the Waterhouse Natural History Art Prize
South Australian Museum 2008
I spent my childhood in rural England and it was there that I developed my initial appreciation of the natural world, from which I draw my inspiration as a metal work artisan.
I moved to Goolwa in 1982 where I still reside, setting up a studio/workshop in 1995 on a rural property. It is the rural landscape with its fauna and flora that I find inspirational. The subject matter is never ending with nature’s beauty and symmetry.
In 1998 I began working full-time as a metal work artist moving more towards copper, using recycled copper as my medium. It is through the use of copper with its excellent malleability and workability that my work has progressed to more sophisticated forms, birds, lizards, etc, the use of water and light adding another dimension.
The application of heat using oxy/acetylene gas and silver solder I find is very versatile. The heat making the copper soft and workable, the beating making the material harden in the finished work.
I find the creative process most rewarding – I am continuously learning and applying new techniques which seems to develop out of the completion of previous work.
