My first illustration projects were picture books and covers completed for friends and teachers through high school. Various commissions followed at intervals, although mostly I would use my artworks as gifts. In recent years I have done many portraits, the record being a request for 21 faces in the one artwork.

Natalie Reid / Artist & Sculptor

I have studied woodwork, stained glass, welding and various visual mediums and I really love to re-cycle. I try to incorporate personality and storytelling in my pieces and enjoy researching the history of found objects to use in my sculptures. The learning process is half the fun and the technique employed for the story is the other half.

Merelyn Masters / Artist

I’m passionate about my work, I love capturing each individual personality and seeing their eyes come to life is a magical moment.
For me creating my art is challenging, rewarding and very therapeutic, temporarily relieving the burdens of reality.
My rural background and a life-long love of animals, nature and creativity is my inspiration.
