GREG POSTLE PRINTS >
Now one of Australia's most sought after wildlife painters, Greg's love of wildlife began on a cattle property in Central Queensland where he spent his early years. His painting career began on a part-time basis at the age of 27 and within twelve months without any formal training, he began painting professionally.
His main subject matter is birds which, since childhood, have always held a fascination for him. Each of Greg's paintings captures the essence of the birds he paints while maintaining a focus for ornithological correctness and the artistic merit of each painting is brought to life by the creative story it portrays.
Greg has received numerous awards for his paintings and since first entering in the prestigious 'Birds in Art' wildlife art exhibition at the Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum in Wisconsin, USA in 1999 and has consistently had his Paintings Selected for this international exhibition.
Landsborough gallery can confidently guarantee to offer the most comprehensive selection of Greg Postle Limited Edition Prints (publish by Origin Publishing), anywhere worldwide.

GIOVANNA CATTOI >
Giovanna Cattoi was born at Monte Argentario, Tuscany, Italy. After her early studies she attended the studios of several leading artists and attracted early recognition for her instinctive grasp of composition, movement and colour. She soon gained impressive awards and commendations at various exhibitions and her work can be found in the homes and galleries of well known collectors.
Since settling in Australia she has exhibited successfully in Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide and extensively throughout Queensland. Her showings were excitingly different and many of her exhibitions were sell-outs.
During a visit to Cairns, Giovanna became entranced with the diversity of colours and uniqueness of the underwater life of the Great Barrier Reef. Equipped with scuba gear and sketching on used x-ray plates, she captured the reef’s authentic wild life. Her underwater work reflects the true life and habitat of all fish species and plants.
Since becoming one of Australia’s leading underwater artists , her paintings have been in high demand in Singapore, Hong Kong, Japan and the USA and have sold well in other countries around the world.
Giovanna has an intense interest and knowledge of the underwater world. She received a standing ovation when addressing the seventh annual conference of the "Marine Education Society of Australia” on the Gold Coast, where she described the Great Barrier Reef’s underwater world as "A Liquid Eden”.
In her youth, Giovanna traveled extensively with her archeologist parents. All over Europe, Mexico and South America, where her parents at that time were interested in preColombian civilizations. Hence her recent paintings of Peruvian Legends.
Please note: Giovanna is the gallery resident artist, so please feel free to call in for a chat with her anytime during gallery opening hours.

DONALD J WATERS >
Donald is a man who is passionate about his art. He sees it as an adventure that must be experienced not only by the artist -but also by the viewer.
When speaking with him, you cannot help but be engulfed by his presence. He sees the world from a spiritual, beautiful and somewhat naive perspective. Listening to Don, you are plunged into the vibrant and colourful world that he endeavors to create on canvas.
Amongst his many personal ideals there has always been a sense of movement and colour, and, his latest series with the elongated figures in childlike situations has emphasized this. He draws from his vast experiences both on the coast and inland Australia to bring his paintings to life with a dash of humour and excitement.
To Don art must always remain an adventure; he assimilates this to the emotion of driving into a new land and looking down into a valley he has never been before.
Living in a rain forest thus surrounded by the colour and movement of nature, Don’s artworks are a reflection of his environment…the lush green of fernery, the flicker of a colouful lorikeet from the corner of your eye, or the sun as it filters through the leaves.
Don has crossed many milestones and achieved success of which he is proud.
Don’s international career is now gaining momentum - having had one-man exhibitions in both England and New Zealand. He has paintings included in Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth’s II Art Collection and during the Queen’s stay at CHOGM he was asked to design paintings to decorate the dignitary reception and accommodation areas.
Don has been invited to present motivational speeches and after dinner talks by the likes of MLC and was compare of the Queensland Builders Designs Awards for 2003.

ROBERT HAGAN >
Born in 1947 and raised in the lush, languorous sub-tropical northern New South Wales, Australia and educated at Newcastle University, he communicates in a typical offhanded Aussie manner. Widely travelled with studios in Suffolk, England., San Diego, USA., Southport, Australia and Pattaya, Thailand.
Robert goes about his art with confidence, humility and pragmatism.
He explains, "When you look at things you tend to concentrate on one element, a boy or girl at the waters edge, for example. It's hard to bring into meaniful vision the entire scene at the one occasion. It's all there, but its not defined and it's that which is peripheral to the starting point".The key to impressionism is keying in the peripherel to the starting point".
Although Hagan paints varied subjects, landscapes, seascapes, western, portraits and figurative he insists that his paintings here and there go beyond obvious recognizable subject. This is especially the case now in 2002. He says "make a painting like the recognizable subject rather than executing a literal representation. It's better to paint the effect of what is there...what is left in the back of the head! That's impressionism, and that I hope is where I am"

DARRYL TROTT
The world has lost a wonderful person and it's greatest watercolour artist following Darryl's untimely death on the 9th June 2004 following a heart attack. Despite this tragic loss we are fortunate to have the legacy of his magnificent art with us forever.
Darryl Trott achieved a feel and flow with watercolour that no other medium comes close to. The Australian born artist was inspired from the very young age of six when he received his first set of watercolour paints for Christmas. From this early age he knew that his fingers and watercolour paint were a natural combination. But it was thirty years or more before his childhood love of flowers and art were brought to the surface by Ruth Tuck, a great Australian floral artist and teacher.
"At first I was painting landscapes, but it wasn't long before Ruth Tuck told me to concentrate on flowers," says Trott.
Landsborough
Galleries currently have (8) Darryl Trott original paintings available for sale. We
also sell a full range of Darryl Trott's Limited Edition Prints
(printed by Origin Publishing), including rare 'sell-out' editions such as
'Opening Night' and 'Magnolia Morning' and many more.

Influenced mainly by her immediate environment, she has also traveled extensively throughout Australia and around the world.
Raelene is self-taught and has become known predominantly for her watercolour paintings of local beaches and the beautiful Hinterland region.She enjoys portraying the energeticsummer holiday beach crowds, because the beach has always been her backyard and therefore the ground for study engaging her curiosity about the antics of beach-goers and beach life.These are especially well depicted in her Sumi-e works.
Travelling to Japan on many occasions now for tuition in the art of "Sumi-e” under master teachersShoka Ota, Chiaki Kato and Sei Amori, Raelene has certainly mastered the art of the black ink on rice paper.It has also provided a great understanding of the Eastern Philosophies on watercolour painting.She has used this ability to draw elegantly simple scenes of people on the beach in black on white to great effect.

COLIN PARKER >
After
many years of illustrating I became Senior Illustrator at Rolls-Royce,
UK, and was responsible for creating many of the air brush colour
cutaways of the aero engines designed and built by the company.
Apart
from aviation I have always been a “car nut”, going to race meetings at
Brands Hatch and Silverstone at every opportunity where I managed to
pick up many commissions, not only cars, but landscapes too.
In
search of a better life, in 1987 I immigrated to Australia, where an
opportunity arose on the Black Hawk military helicopter contract at
Hawker de Havilland. I became Chief Illustrator and was responsible for
the production of artwork associated with promoting the company world
wide plus the production of all technical manuals. HDH was subsequently
taken over by Boeing Aeroplanes where I became responsible for design
integration graphics on projects as diverse as the new Airbus A380,
Boeing Dreamliner and the Joint Striker Fighter (JSF), Australia’s new
front line fighter aircraft.
I left Boeing in 2005 and am now
able to pursue my passion of aviation and automotive art more fully. My
favoured medium is acrylic, but I also paint in oils and water colours.
Over the years I have been fortunate in having had many commissions and
at present have several awaiting my attention.

WILLIAM T COOPER >
William T. Cooper first gained artistic prominence for his ornithological illustrations in A Portfolio of Australian Birds. His international reputation was firmly established in 1973 with the publication of Parrots of the World and today Bill's paintings are housed in public galleries, government institutions and private collections throughout the world.
Bill's talent for combining scientific accuracy with vibrant artistic technique was formally recognized in 1990 when the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia (USA) awarded him the gold medal for his 'artistic endeavours and life's work which have contributed to mankind's better understanding and appreciation of living things'. He was the first Australian to receive this prestigious award and in 1994 was awarded the Order of Australia (AO) for his contribution to Art and Ornithology.
The 1,236 fruits illustrations reproduced in this book show William T. Cooper's dedication to the world of nature. He capturesthe finest details - from tiny spines on pods to fibres of palm fruits and imperfections created by living creatures of the rainforest. Each painting shows the ranges in size, shape and colour of the fruit as well as a cross-section exposing the distinctive colour and texture variations of the seed. It has been a rare privilege to publish art of such magnitude, skill and beauty.

ANDO >
From his first painting at the age of four to the World’s Largest Work of Art
at the age of forty, Ando has created a portfolio of amazing variety. Over
one hundred of his paintings have been published as limited editions and
other various products. Ando’s exhibitions have always been sell-outs
including two which were opened by the Governor General of Australia.
Ando has been an established artist for over 25 years in his native Australia,
exhibiting since the age of 15. Amazingly, this incredibly gifted artist is selftaught
and has never had an art lesson in his life!
The World's Largest Works of Art
In recent years, Ando has decided to challenge himself with bigger projects.
He has amazed viewers with the remarkable Big Picture which, towering at
over 10 metres high and almost 100 metres around, is believed to be the
World's Largest canvas painting by a single artist. Ando's 46 million square
foot Mundi Mundi Man, the World's Largest Work of Art which was etched
into the Mundi Mundi plains in outback Australia , has been featured on
ABC and Ripley's Believe it or Not. (You can even view Mundi Man on
GoogleEarth!)
Although he has the incredible engineering and artistic skills to create such
colossal projects, Ando’s sense of detail is also evident in every square inch
of each painting on 'normal sized' canvas! His paintings reflect his style of
ando-realism -- an amazing feel for perception, reflection, depth, shadow
and light. Ando’s still life paintings have an energy and action that defy the
term "still". The quality and incredible detail of Ando's work speaks for
itself in every brush stroke. You feel as though you can walk into his
landscapes, or touch the feathers on each bird.

CAROLINE CORBY >
Caroline was born in England and went to London School of Arts and Crafts where she took her Diploma in Art and Design majoring in Sculpture. Most of her works were quite large relating to the human figure.
Later, whilst raising her family, Caroline lived in Saudi Arabia for nearly three years. Due to a limited supply of art materials, Caroline turned to making batik wall hangings depicting local architecture and people in the market place. A few years later several trips to Nigeria, enabled Caroline to bask in African art and look again at very strong direct sculpture and pottery with beautiful lines and balance. Back in England, Caroline explored ceramics making hand built pots and building her own kiln.
in 1991 Caroline immigrated to Sydney, Australia and again changed direction. Each new influence seems to demand a new medium and here Caroline returned to basics and resumed life drawing. She discovered the beauty of pastels and started to absorb the strong influences of the fragile Australian landscape and the diverse population of Sydney.
Caoline has now spent 18years in Australia and no longer feels like a visitor. Caroline spent 10 years teaching at Hazelhurst Regional Gallery.
She now works in a wide range of materials and mediums including oils and acrylics and clay exploring two and three dimensional work.
Caroline now lives and works in Bundeena South of Sydney, she sells her work through the Bundeena Mainbar Art Trail where she opens her home and gallery space every month. She also exhibits work in local exhibitions within the Sutherland Shire. Caroline has work in many private collections around the world.

TAM GANNON >
Tam Gannon
As a multi award-winning graduate of The Queensland College of Art (Griffith University), Tam Gannon has developed his skills and influence to a point where nothing seems impossible. His favourite material may be titanium, but the incorporation of gold and silver, together with the ancient Japanese technique of Mokume Gane, takes Tam Gannon's pieces beyond just jewellery statements, they are treasures of his creativity and era.
Titanium is one of the most 'Leading edge' materials in the world. Its use in High-tech applications is well known. Combine the design flare of Tam Gannon with this intriguing light weight inert material, add gems stones, a touch of medieval influence, and you have some of the most unique Jewellery pieces available today.
The influence of medieval accoutrements is perhaps not too obvious but its interpretation is dynamic and very much 'now'. Tam's travels to Europe, Africa, Asia and the Middle East have tinged his designs with further depth and dimension; they are especially evident in his non-jewellery sculptural forms such as goblets, cutlery and fascinating one-off pieces like board games.
From the subliminal eclectic images of Art Nouveau & Deco to the glamour and fantasy of Hollywood, Tam's aim is to produce the finest examples of contemporary jewellery design.
