Dennis Nona

Dennis Nona is widely acknowledged as one the most important Torres Strait Islander artists. Born on Badu Island in 1973 he was taught as a young boy the traditional craft of woodcarving. This skill has been developed and translated into the incredibly intricate and beautiful linocuts, etchings and sculptures created by the artist since the commencement of his art practice in 1989. 2010: Winner Works on Paper, 27th Telstra Indigenous Art Award.

Kristin Tennyson

Carmen Hogue

Carmen Hogue is an Australian artist who works in diverse media including drawing, painting and sculpture. Since she moved to the far north coast of New South Wales in 2003 she has been influenced by the bushland and north coast sub-cultures. Her more recent sculptures of baskets and nests are made from found objects like wire mesh, hemp string, twine, leather, feathers and beads. They are created as an ensemble with a theme such as sandstone, desert or lorikeets. The simple but versatile shape of the nest/basket is ideal for combining colours, textures and forms. Her fabric animal dolls each have a unique personality. There are two ranges available; Lounge Rogues and Animal Kingdom. Carmen uses retro fabrics, leather, lace, buttons and beads among other things, which gives them a funky, hippie or old world character. Each doll has a personality and a contemporary identity that reflects the colourful cultures of the Northern New South Wales region.

Having spend 25 years as a Graphic Designer she has now embarked on a successful career in fine art and is currently exploring the Still Life.
