Sarah Walters
Sarah Walters’ pieces continue to inhabit little spots in the space..Her latest involvement in tiny house groups has really drawn people in! Each huddle of little houses has a conversation and character of its own…all work is individually priced and immediately take-home-able !!
Lynn Kelly
Lynn’s essays on the nature of Water are always a delight and a revelation. She has that rare ability to paint into and through the surface of a work .. stand back and see what happens to the image!
Robert Ikin
We are pleased to have two more pieces from iconic Robert Ikin whose career as an artist has spanned so many decades and whose works are spread far and wide. Now you have a progressively rarer opportunity to actually acquire one of his unique boxed reliefs works or at least to come and make friends with what is in those boxes!!
Patrick Sutczak
These wooden hanging-sculptures were part of a former huge installation and have since been part of Raincoat’s wallscape - some are now newly situated across the State . The curation of this and all of our exhibitions plus those at The Gallows now takes up most of Patrick’s spare time! For this we are forever grateful…
Garry Billing
Garry has started an exploration into abstraction of landscape (which has always been his main focus) and impresses with his sensitivity to the essence of his subject matter .. A new way of seeing…
Katherine Barnes
We welcome Katherine Barnes to Raincoat for the first time. She has embarked on a personal journey of discovery - and this will resonate with many in our Melting Pot of Cultures - using Photography and Mixed Media to connect to Irish and Japanese Roots. while remaining very clearly Australian. Her work explores the threads that bind human emotions, endeavours and cultural anchors
Wayne Looyer
originally a New Zealander, has, fortunately for us all, now made Tasmania home. With a lifelong passion for supporting The Arts, he has, over the last 15 years, gone out and made opportunities for young people to present their work to others through an annual event called “Emerge Galleries”… A relative newcomer to Ceramics, he sculpts in porcelain (and various additions!) and has an uncanny talent for being guided by the medium.. He told me he didn’t “draw, plan or sketch before starting a work”, that ideas just came to him from somewhere else and that he “let the clay speak for itself’..
