‘Contemporary Australian Artist’

William is an Australian contemporaryseascape artist with a passion to capture the power, colour, and romance of the ocean in oils. Growing up in Port Stephens and being surrounded by the ocean William and his wife Edwina and their three children love the sea. An avid Kitesurfer, Surfer and Stand up Paddleboarder he can be seen regularly around the local beaches. 

I am a self taught artist with what I would call an ‘impressionistic style, incorporating brush strokes and the natural vibrancy of God’s creation.

Ileana Clarke

Ileana Clarke is an artist, painter, illustrator and teacher who enjoys many art disciplines. Primarily creating in painting and drawing, Ileana sometimes mixes different mediums such as watercolour and ink, or charcoal and wax.

I enjoy many disciplines of art, primarily painting and drawing and using different mediums, such as watercolour, charcoal, acrylic and mixing the mediums.  Watercolour is a tricky one, but I find it ideal for translucent light in skies, land or water. I also don’t mind sloshing around with paint that can bring about happy accidents.
