This series reflects my journey from Scotland to Australia, capturing the emotional resonance of two very different landscapes. Through shifting light, colour, and space, these paintings blend memory with experience—layering the misty hues of Scotland with Australia’s vibrant, open skies.

Each work is a personal entry, like a page from a diary, where past stories and new chapters coexist. Home/Land speaks to migration, identity, and the way we carry a sense of place within us—no matter where we are.

Nature as a mirror explores the duality between our connection to our surrounding and how this translates into our mind forming pathways that influence a deeper sense of reality through a personalised lens. The personal and historical connection to the Australian landscape informed by family history in the formation of generational identity and the manifestation of individual realities constructed from a person’s surroundings and everyday interactions are at the centre of this exhibition.

Clayton Smith presents two series exploring inner worlds and imagined ones.

Still Water Heart reflects on quiet connection to land and water through calm, meditative scenes.

The Distortion of Eri Erringo builds a fictional narrative drawing on Noh theatre, lowbrow art, and automatic writing.

Hello, Goodbye brings together painting and drawing-based works presented in pairs, exploring the interplay between comfort, vulnerability and transformation.

Using unique materials like chenille bedspreads, vintage wallpaper, upholstery fabrics and cardboard, Shaun Weston creates surfaces that invite close inspection. Through his familiar visual language of flowers, the body and domestic objects, he explores how personal histories are embedded in the materials of home.

Each duo sits in quiet dialogue, echoing the tension between softness and resistance. Shaped by a sensitivity to texture and memory, the exhibition holds space for the sensory traces of lived experience and the fragments we carry with us.

(𝐭)𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞 sees fine artist, Natalie Eslick, reimagine wildlife painting via the influence of Dutch Golden Age still life artworks, but sifted through a contemporary, conservation focused Australian lens.

Australian native fauna share space with ornate cultivated flowers, or are venerated in stand-alone portraits, painted with reverential realism and deep curiosity and reciprocity.

The collection embodies a striking juxtaposition that celebrates our extraordinary wildlife while quietly challenging what we choose to cherish in our homes and hearts.

Join us as we celebrate over three decades of friendship, creative collaboration and artistic exploration in HIGH + LOW // NOW + THEN brought to you by Ann McLean & Kim Senior.

Expect vibrant abstracts from Ann and impulsive candid photos by Kim.

FERTILE TERRAINS brings together Leisa Turner, Diane Green, and Pat Malt in a showcase of photography, ceramics, textiles, drawing and painting.

The exhibition invites reflection on the unseen labour of neurodivergent masking, the deification of acts of care, and subversive narratives around the reimagined female form.

Each practice offers intimate perspectives on contemporary female experience and celebrates the fecund spark that drives these artists to create.

Natalie Maree Bonanno is now an artist.

Starting her career in the fashion industry. Her art is abstract pop, using bright colours and a mixed medium. Having her own style, Natalie is influenced by people and places.

Her passion for the arts is embraced in her own interpretation of how she loves and sees the world.

Self, Surfaces, and the City is a body of work by Chris Abrahams that explores the body as self, and the layered visual and material surfaces of Brisbane.

Over the course of two years, Abrahams has worked across multiple mediums—including drawing (pencil, charcoal, pastel, and ink), painting (oil, acrylic, and mixed media), etching (drypoint, hard ground, and colour etching), and ceramics (white raku paper clay and sgraffito).

Through self-portraits, images of the city, and process-driven works, he investigates the act of revealing: scraping back surfaces of paint and pastel, skin and clay, to expose what lies beneath.

This approach echoes his interest in the body as both subject and surface, and in the city as a reflective site of personal and material identity.

Visual Journeys brings together the individual practices of Deborah, Sue and Doug—three artists who form the collective For Artistry—each exploring personal themes through painting and mixed media. From Deborah’s emotive return to painting after personal loss, to Sue’s travel-inspired works, and Doug’s vibrant shift from stage design to visual art, the exhibition traces unique creative paths. Also on show is work by Mandy D, whose interactive and inclusive practice invites viewers to experience art through sound, texture and movement.

Visual Journeys runs from June 13–24 at Field Trip Gallery, Paddington.

The glorious profusion of a tangled rainforest has been an obsession of John Bell’s for a number of years. The South East Queensland hinterland is home to some of the richest forests in Australia.

For this exhibition, Bell has centred his efforts on various vistas in the Springbrook mountain region, a place he has found personally rewarding. These works serve as an homage to a landscape that appears largely untouched by human interference—an environment he returns to again and again for inspiration and contemplation.

Flourish showcases a new series of layered works on paper by prolific Brisbane artist Stephanie Morris. Known for her exploration of texture and composition, Morris builds depth through intricate layering, creating dynamic and immersive surfaces. This collection reflects her evolving practice, balancing structure and spontaneity in a way that invites close contemplation.

Flourish runs from May 15–25 at Field Trip Gallery, Paddington.

‘When it’s my Time to Go’ is an exhibition that wrestles with the tension of searching for beauty under a blanket of grief. The works on wood explore the weight of memory, the permanence of impermanence, and the pain that never quite leaves, no matter how many times we cover it with another coat. 

Each painting by Brisbane artist Good God is layered and reworked, built up and scraped back, holding within it every stroke that came before.

‘When it’s my Time to Go’ opens at Field Trip Gallery on Thursday 15th May and will go until Wednesday 28th May, with the launch event taking place on Friday 16th May.

Neighbours at the bowling alley present:

Franklin Aaland, Kim Kofod, Adam Lester, Pedro Puente, Caro Toledo, Justine Wake and more

The Vision of "Body of Work: Woman” is to celebrate, acknowledge, and be inspired by the female experience and the female form. We encourage our artists to draw on femininity, feminism, and experiences of girlhood and womanhood (in all forms, both positive and negative) in their artworks. This exhibition falls on International Women's Day which means in that spirit, we will honour all women in their art.

To celebrate the 50th anniversary of Papua New Guinea's Independence, Jordan Morris AKA GRIM JORDAN is proud to present a grand two-week exhibition featuring the first 25 artworks completed in Brisbane. Come and immerse yourself in the rich stories and legends, and experience the creativity that brings to life the beauty and culture of Papua New Guinea.

This exhibition is not only a celebration of cultural heritage but also a community initiative. All artworks will be available for viewing and purchase, and 10% of the show's proceeds will be donated to selected charitable organisations making a positive impact in Papua New Guinea.

Robert is a 38 year-old deaf man with a significant disability who is unable to talk or express himself in verbal or written language. However, over the past few years, he has found a method of self-expression through his art.

Robbie uses mixed media – a combination of drawing, collage and acrylics - to create vibrant interpretations of the things he loves such as motorbikes, calculators, Donkey Kong game, cups of tea, the beach etc. He would love to share his art with you!

"Familiar Unseen is an exploration of the overlooked forms and details that fill our everyday existence. This exhibition delves into the subtle yet intricate shapes found in nature, from the wavy forms of underwater creatures to the complex patterns woven throughout the natural world. These forms, though everywhere, often remain invisible to the hurried eye.

In this exhibition, I have crafted a unique world of wonder, where these unnoticed forms are reimagined as fantastical creatures. By transforming these everyday elements into something extraordinary, I aim to challenge the viewer's perception and encourage a deeper appreciation for the hidden beauty that surrounds us."

Yuiko Uto’s work explores the fluidity of emotion through faces and figures, tracing personal states of being across time. Her drawings exist in a space between memory and imagination, where interpretation is open and meaning shifts. In this exhibition, she invites viewers to engage intuitively, finding their own connections within the rhythm of her evolving creative cycle.

Join us for Ryan Preece – Selected Works 2021–2025, an exhibition showcasing the artist’s powerful exploration of memory, transformation, and the interplay of light and shadow. This collection features works from the past four years, reflecting Preece's unique approach to colour, personal mythologies, and cultural histories. His art invites the viewer to reflect on the ever-evolving self, capturing moments of vulnerability, revelation, and introspection.

Kirsi Reinikka and Alison Stone explore shifting perceptions of safety, home, and the unknown. Reinikka’s paintings emerge through process, moving from chaos to form, reflecting the fluidity of safety in solitude, connection, and the unconscious. Stone’s small-scale sculptures examine home as both refuge and unease, inviting scrutiny while withholding clarity. Through light, space, and obstruction, she creates a sense of familiarity disrupted. Both artists challenge perception, drawing viewers into realms that blur reality, memory, and altered states.

EDGEWORK brings together the work of Meanjin (Brisbane)-based artists Emily Devers and Jo Isabel Klima, whose individual practices investigate the concept of visual thresholds — the elusive spaces where boundaries dissolve, and definition presents in unexpected ways.
