“I am an ‘eclectic’ photographer. I am interested in the range of fine art, design or landscape photography – anything that captures something special about my subject.
The range of images at this exhibition are my modest attempt to capture through the camera something of the beauty and essence of life – but also the special quality of that place or thing. I want to evoke a feeling when you look at an image that says “that’s beautiful or unique – I see why he captured that image!”
I want you to share some of my wonder and appreciation of the beauty around us…”

24 June 2010Scott Morrison
MY LIFE SO FAR
“These works are influenced, not just through one specific style of painting, but multiple. Ranging from realist and surrealism, to the very primitive and abstract.
The works presented in this exhibition are about what I personally have experienced in my life so far. Whether it be the joys and sorrows, or my own personal beliefs, these works are a part of me and contribute to the story of my life.”
Currently showing at Farsite Gallery until 15th June 2010
13 May 2010“Familiar Places” by local painter Katherine Duncan
Katherine Duncan paints her favorite places. Line, colour and contrast are characteristic of her compositions. Her images are informed by what she has seen, though her intention is to represent the atmosphere of a space rather than its physicality. Consequently, her landscapes are often minimalist in subject; and in colour too – “a dust covered patch to the right, and beyond that hills of unfolding green”.
