Bree Morrison is a Melbourne based landscape artist.
Spending her childhood growing up in a remote town exploring river banks and observing the ebb and flow of the changing seasons, Bree's works are influenced by ecosystems and the shifting changes in light, landscapes and the life within them.

Bree's process sees her spending a lot of time observing and photographing the world around her, then painting intuitively, quickly and with little prior planning. In this way Bree aim to capture the mood or feeling of the piece, using vivid and earthy colour pallets, visible brush stokes, mark making textures and abstraction.

Bree's subject matter is drawn from nature, but is also a snippet into an introspective world, a linking of her intuition and nostalgic feelings and emotions reminiscent of time spent soaking in all the wonder that nature has to offer in the landscape. Bree wants her work to bring forth the juxtaposition of the outer and inner world, communicating both whimsical beauty and meaningful connections to both nature and the ones we love.

Amy Compton is an artist who lives and works in southern Tasmania. Originally from
Sydney, she relocated to Tassie in 2022 with her husband and three young children in
search of a slower and cooler life.
Her artistic style can be described as abstract expressionist. She paints colourful and
textured artworks which are inspired by the natural world, her love of colour and her vivid imagination. Amy uses acrylics and mixed media in her artworks. Pinks, blues and greens are her trademark colours.
Amy’s works are vivid and layered explorations of colour, texture and shape. She works
intuitively on canvas using a limited colour palette, a variety of brushstrokes and a range of mark-making techniques. She gradually builds up layers and then finds a composition within the painting and resolves the piece by striking a balance between different values, shapes, lines and forms.

In 2023, Amy was the winner of Art to Art’s Unearthed People’s Choice Award. She also
received a Special Mention Award for Aspire Gallery’s Petite Pieces art prize. This was also her first year exhibiting at Toowoomba’s Grammar Art Show.
You can find Amy’s paintings and prints at Melbourne’s Art to Art gallery, Brisbane’s Aspire Gallery, Geelong’s The Space Gallery and Hobart’s Dick and Dora gift shop (right near the MONA ferry terminal).
She also has a range of wearable art featuring her designs which is stocked at gift shops in Tasmania, Melbourne and Queensland.
