We are excited to welcome Scott Marsh to the gallery.
Scott Marsh is one of Australia’s most iconic and infamous street artists. With deep roots in graffiti culture, he has gained international recognition for his signature politically charged, provocative and often newsworthy murals. Marsh is a Moran portrait prize finalist, Winner of the Vincent and multiple time Archibald prize finalist.
In the studio, Marsh challenges conventional perceptions of street art and graffiti, reimagining the traditional floral still life through the mediums, energy and mark-making of his graffiti background. His work blurs the boundaries between street art and fine art, proving that artistic legitimacy can exist and succeed beyond the confines of oil and canvas.
Tannya Harricks’ exhibition Exposed & Protected, each work is its own little story, but as a group, contrast could be a connecting theme. Contrasting environment, contrasting colours or contrasting treatment of paint within a single painting. In the studio, colour, weather and memory of the landscape is reimagined through the process of layering, scraping, drawing, shifting, looking.
Inspired by landscapes and experiences gathered over the past few years, Tannya’s expressive oil paintings explore contrast from the stormy, wind-whipped cliffs of Shetland to the sheltered shores of New South Wales.
For Tannya, painting is a conversation with the canvas. Each work evolves through layers of paint, unexpected discoveries and a willingness to embrace the unknown. She is especially drawn to paintings that seem to develop a character of their own, such as Sister and Tuesday, Hastings Point, inspired by the same pandanus tree viewed from different angles. We invite you to spend time with Tannya’s paintings and discover your own personal connection with each work.

The paintings in this exhibition are inspired by different experiences and varying landscapes over the last few years. From being wind-whipped in Shetland and Fair Isle in the UK, where the North Sea meets the Atlantic. To the East coast of Australia – camping beside the ocean on the Yuraygir trail. Facing both stormy and clear skies from Hastings Point on the NSW North Coast to Currarong on the South Coast.
Exhibition I Fell In Love continues until Monday 19 October 2026
Felicity’s creates floral photographs printed onto canvas and brings them to life with thick impasto oils. Capturing hibiscus, peonies, roses and tulips in the interplay between the mediums.
Using a palette knife, thick layers of oil paint move across the canvas in sweeping, instinctive gestures . Some marks drift softly; others rise and gather with a quiet confidence. The paint is deliberately physical — built up, pulled across and left to reveal the movement of the hand. There is a sense of surrender within the process, of trusting instinct rather than trying to control where each work will go.
The result is a collection that feels intimate, sensual and alive.

In this body of work, Paula has enjoyed experimenting with a range of mediums across polycotton and paper, pushing her landscapes further towards abstraction. Her characteristic gestural mark-making and expressive use of colour remain, while layers, textures and more experimental forms allow the landscape to emerge, dissolve and shift between the recognisable and the abstract.

“I engage directly with materials marked by wear and utility, drawing attention to the embedded narratives of labour and consumption that often go unnoticed. I approach the materials I use intuitively, both allowing the inherent qualities of each material—its weight, flexibility, surface, and resistance—to guide the development of each piece.” Olivier Rasir

Felicity Schrader’s work is bold and expressive, combining contemporary colour palettes, strong mark-making, texture and mixed media to create pieces that invite curiosity and imagination.
Her new Art2Muse Gallery exhibition, I Fell in Love, explores how beautiful life can be when we allow it to take its course, taking a risk, letting go a little and jumping. The series began with a colour palette Felicity discovered while redecorating her daughter’s bedroom, which became the visual starting point for a collection that feels whimsical and soft, while capturing something much deeper: that beautiful, almost magical moment when you cry from happiness and joy. Her richly textured impasto oil works are particularly expressive, with the physicality of the paint and intuitive marks bringing a sense of movement and freedom to the canvas.

Coco Elder’s eclectic process of carving into the oil paint using various etching tools not only allows her to bridge drawing with painting but to align playful gestural marks with observed and considered representations. The carving process pulls the paint away and reveals light, either from the white of the primed surface or the actual timber. “By carving back through the surface, I’m able to create another layer, one that is a more playful expression that resonates the essence and life force of form and place.
I hope to lead my audience on a journey and have them reflect on the grandeur of our natural landscape. One that is to be revered and protected.” – Coco Elder

Exhibition I Fell In Love at Art2Muse Gallery until 19 October 2026
I Fell in Love is a celebration of freedom, self-discovery and the quiet magic of becoming more fully yourself. Thick layers of oil paint move across the canvas in sweeping, instinctive gestures. Some marks drift softly; others rise and gather with a quiet confidence. The paint is deliberately physical — built up, pulled across and left to reveal the movement of the hand. There is a sense of surrender within the process, of trusting instinct rather than trying to control where each work will go. The result is a collection that feels intimate, sensual and alive. At its heart, I Fell in Love is not simply about romantic love. It is about the many ways we can fall in love with life with freedom, adventure, motherhood, another person, and with ourselves.
