Beyond adding pure decorative colour, art brings life and soul to a home. An original artwork is a heartfelt, handmade expression of a deeply personal process. Displaying pieces you love imparts the artist’s story and tells the world about who you are. The question becomes, where do you search for art that speaks to you?

Join us as we step into the studios of some of our favourite contemporary Australian artists, uncovering their unique creative journeys and inspirations. From clay sculptures informed by bodily curves to exquisite wall-hung weavings made with upcycled fabrics, it’s an exciting showcase of bright talent whose work will splash meaning and glorious tones and texture across your home.

NICOLE NELIUS

Upbeat and skillfully composed, Nicole’s paintings, photo prints, and assemblages are happy affirmations about the beauty in everyday life. The multifaceted artist also works as a stylist and has a honed intuition for colour and composition. “Everything I do, from styling to photography and painting, ends up feeling connected without being intentional,” says Nicole.

NATALIE UHRIK

Natalie’s abstract landscapes are studies of spirituality, connection, and the universal search for meaning. “I use art as a tool to calm me,” the Sydney-based painter shares. “I allow myself to channel whatever emotions I have at the time into my work. It’s all intuitive, and I walk away from it in a state of calm.”
