ART ST NEWS
All of us at ART ST would like to wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas.
We hope you have all managed to survive challenges in recent years and are looking optimistically forward to 2022.
All of the ART ST Artists and I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your wonderful support throughout the year.
Purchasing original artwork directly from our ART ST Artists, means they receive the full value of their creative efforts. THANK YOU!!
We keep our overheads very low. Most other online galleries and storefront galleries take 30 to 60% commission on sales and use this to cover overheads such as web design and hosting, staffing and rent.
Please share our news with your friends!
Art Exhibitions Brisbane - coming up!
ART ST Artists regularly participate in exhibitions and competitions in and around Brisbane.
Nothing beats seeing an artwork in the flesh! Our website is good, but you can't see the texture, the brush-strokes or smell the linseed!
We are all hoping for a better year in 2021 with lots of exhibitions and, of course, painting!
See below for who is exhibiting where over the next few months:

EXTENSIONS OF HOME Art Exhibition @ Manly Harbour Gallery
ART ST Artists: Anne Armstrong - Solo exhibition
Runs: 10-28 Nov, 2021, 11 Cambridge Pde, Manly"I’ve been thinking a lot about ‘home’ and how there are many uses and meanings of the word ‘home’. I think the real meaning of the word is found in the phrase ‘wherever your heart is, that is your ‘home’. When I lived overseas and I referred to ‘home’ I was referring to the whole country of Australia. Now I live in Brisbane and refer to ‘home’ I often mean where I grew up, not the actual house, but the State of Western Australia, or even my home town of Kalgoorlie. But there’s also another meaning to the word. When ‘home’ is thought to be the ‘safe’ place ... I know a lot of ‘homes’ are not always necessarily safe, but everyone surely has some place where they feel safe – even (as a child) if it’s outside hiding in the garden under a favourite shrub, at a friend’s home, or under the bedcovers on a stormy night. Home is therefore, I think, more a ‘feeling’ than a building."

New ART ST Artist
At the beginning of the year, we welcomed Bruce Owens to our group.
Surfing and snorkelling in his youth kindled his appreciation of the environment and a desire to portray the beauty of nature. He particularly enjoys painting landscapes and seascapes depicting the reflected light, colour, detail and movement.
Now retired after a career in commercial art and nursing, he now has the time to indulge his passion for painting!
