Artists Describing Their Art:

Roderick Brown - Roderick (Rod) Brown was born in Western Australia. Rod spent his first 30 years in an arid and remote gold mining town. As a youngster he remembers the great freedom he enjoyed surrounded by the stark but vivid images of the mines and surrounding bush, which he regularly explored. Rod as a child watched his father paint in oils and sketch, in charcoal and ink, portraits of local identities. The early seeds to later pursue art were sown at this time. Rod has enjoyed living with his family in Australia, Europe and the USA.

Queenie Lam - I use acrylic and oil to showcase my imaginative world and to make a religious comment on the ideals. I also want my art to be a way to record the history of life as it has gone through, with occasional integration of my feelings at that particular moment.
