BEN SANDO
Ben Sando’s paintings have rich surface qualities that display strong composition and considered mark making. His works are warm and inviting with imperfect line, broken surface and drip marks, reminding us that they are a made work created by an artist’s hand. read more...
MURRAY PRICHARD
Coming from a successful career as a graphic designer and illustrator Murray was faced with that ‘leap of faith’ that artists are challenged with when exploring new media- the painted canvas.
