Wolf

and exhibited at ANCA
with a group of artists who formed a casual group where we
would talked art, 'show & tell' our recent work and supported
each other with our art practice and general well being. Wolf

in web and paper base design. Wolf is a mentor for my next
project 'boxed' http://www.pixelmorph.com.au/

Tina Fiveash
is a photographer who is completing her Masters; we are close
friends and associates since 1989/90. We often talk art practice
over the phone these days as we live in different towns. I
admire Tina's thoughtful process of each photograph. It's
not just a happy snappy often each work or series of work
have taken a few years to develop and evolve. Her technical
abilities far surpass even the most professional artist, fluent
in both new and old mediums. http://www.tinafiveash.com.au/
