I will be retiring from hosting exhibitions after ‘The Last Picture Show’ in March.
Working for artists and clients over the last 40 years, whether as a picture framer, art consultant or gallery director, has been a wonderful and meaningful experience.
I am incredibly grateful for the trust that has been given to me. Enabling creativity and vision, wonderful friendship, inspiring conversation and so much enjoyment.
A collective striving for the shared belief in the value of art and making space for it.
I have invited many of the artists with whom I have shared my journey to contribute art-works to my last show. It will be so much fun and such a treat for me to share this time together.
I carry a great deal of appreciation for everyone who has been part of my exhibitions: artists, friends, clients.
I value you all and I want to invite you all to drop in if you can and say hello. And if not I hope our paths will continue to cross in other ways.
Thank you for your support, generosity, and enthusiasm over the years — it has truly meant more than I can say.

Paul Kay
She
Made from three pieces of Malaysian Jelutong
Sealed with clear polyurethane and coloured acrylics
74.5 x 56 x 7.8 cm
“She” is an homage to women. Below the face becomes a bowl, vase or heart design that is a metaphor for the beauty of the female figure.
It has been inspired by the growing independence, education and confidence of modern Australian women to take control of their lives.
Paul Kay
Without Boundaries
Malaysian Jelutong (2 pieces glued together on edge from the same plank.)
Sealed with clear polyurethane and acrylic coloured paints.
64cm H x 46cm W x 7.6cm D
“Without Boundaries” is a homage to the tropics. It is nature versus change by human intervention.
It is the conundrum of our world

Forester

It is our privilege to experience the wilds still existing along the eastern coast of Australia, within forests holding tenuously when left alone
Identifying with the place where I live, the hooting of owls could be the most poignant of night sounds that I will protect with all in my power.

Memories of marching groups, white boots, red or blue satin jackets, silver or white epaulettes. Childhood wonder at these resplendent girls, hometown show days, bronco busters, sideshow alleys, a fistful of coins.
- And indigenous success, marching across 60s Australia.

Weathering the Storm
Capturing the dramatic contrast between a sunlit Australian landscape and a moody, stormy sky above, reflects my long-standing fascination with the power and unpredictability of the weather. For many years, my friends and collectors of my work have referred to such skies as a “Shelley Sky.” The deep, dark intensity of the clouds, set against the brightness of the land, explores the coexistence of light and darkness, calm and intense. Wherever these moments appear, I am drawn to them. This view was captured on a friend’s property where the open landscape allowed the storm building overhead, to command attention.

Gentle Awakening
soft pastel

Gentle Awakening
There is something beautiful and calm about the morning: the way light moves through the landscape, the crisp, clean air, and the gentle arrival of warmth as the sun appears through the trees. By using warm and cool colours to capture the softness of the light, this piece invites viewers to experience that calm and the gentle promise of a fresh beginning each day.
Shelley McLean
The Edge of Stillness
soft pastel
66.5 x 96 cm / framed 89.5 x 119 cm
This artwork is the largest pastel painting I’ve ever created. I chose a large scale to convey the grandeur of the scene, with layers of mountains stretching into the distance. A place close to my heart since childhood, the Blue Mountains continue to captivate me with their breathtaking scale, rugged beauty, and the quiet power of the majestic cliffs and rock formations. Whether clear, cloudy, or hazy skies, the changing light subtly alters the mood of the landscape, highlighting different aspects of the mountain panorama
Shelley McLean
Rippled Reflections
soft pastel
43.5 x 31.5 cm - image size
64.5 x 52.5 cm - framed
The surface of the river is always shifting, with reflections that move and change in mesmerizing patterns, catching the summer light of the Australian bush. The Potholes Reserve and Bargo River, Tahmoor, are places I often return to. This painting invites quiet reflection and a gentle moment of calm.
Shelley McLean
In Between

In Between
This view towards Pulpit Rock Lookout was inspired by a late afternoon walk at Govetts Leap near Blackheath in the Blue Mountains. As the sun lowered, deep blue shadows moved across the cliffs and tree canopy, hiding details in mystery and shifting the mood of the landscape.

Collected Sightings I: Two Magpies
wood, clay, acrylic paint and resin
H: 85 cm W: 15 cm D: 14 cm
I paint birds as a way of paying attention. They sit at the edge of our daily lives, watching, waiting, adapting, often unnoticed yet deeply present. Drawn to nature and the quiet intelligence of birds, I’m interested in their gestures, groupings, and the unspoken relationships between them. Birds become stand-ins for memory, observation, and belonging, allowing me to explore stillness, connection, and the small rituals of the natural world.
Magpies, as I have been told, sing with such beauty; a quiet reminder that poetry lives all around us, if we simply pause to listen.
Angeline Goh
A Quiet Reflection
mixed media sculpture - clay, plaster, resin and acrylic paint and stainless balls
H: 37 cm W: 80 cm D: 27 cm
The place where sky leans into sea, captured in quiet reflection. It's the horizon we carry with us; a memory of peace, of vastness, of feeling small and whole all at once in the reflection in the spheres. In the stillness, we are reminded, we belong to something greater.
Angeline Goh
Petals & Small Witnesses
wood, acrylic paint and resin
110 x 120 x 12 cm
The petals speak to softness, bloom and impermanence, the birds act as quiet witnesses, present, attentive (some not so much) and alert to subtle shifts in their surroundings. Through this arrangement, I explore balance and stillness, inviting the viewer to slow down and notice the quiet relationships between fragility and permanence, life and pause.
