My paintings are based on narratives from the 1950's and mostly in and around Palm Springs, California.
I love the architecture and spacious feel, and slight decadence of this era with intense colours that give a feeling of joy, innocence and positivity.
Pool scenes with people diving into the pool and having fun are the main themes of my paintings.

Description
Gillie and Marc lived in New York for five years. Every Summer they would spend their lazy Saturday afternoons boating in the lakes all across New York. And not just in Central Park in Manhattan either. They would go to Flushing Meadows Corona Park in Queens, Clove Lakes Park in Staten Island or Marine Park in Brooklyn. It was the most relaxing way to explore one of the world’s most frenetic cities. They may not get the chance to go boating anymore but the happy memories of that time together will stay with them forever.
For every purchase of a bronze sculpture you will receive a certificate of authenticity, titled, signed, dated and editioned by the artists.
Bronze is very easy to clean, allowing you to enjoy your precious sculpture with minimal upkeep

Description
Gillie and Marc have spent the last 15 years based in Sydney, a city famous for its gorgeous surf beaches. The artists’ son, Ben, is an avid surfer. As a family they would hit the beach frequently to watch him catch some waves. They found it absolutely mesmerising. This sculpture is also modelled off the life-sized bronze sculpture, The Wave Riders which was a tribute to the lost art of tandem surfing. It was picked for display at last year’s Harbour Sculpture Prize and now can be found at Woolloomooloo wharf. Tandem surfing might have gone out of fashion in the 60s but Dogman and Rabbitwoman are perfectly in tune with each other, and able to find balance despite the odds.
Artwork Features
Gillie and Marc love working in bronze for many reasons. Bronze is a very hardy material and will last forever. As experts in coloring bronze, Gillie and Marc enjoy experimenting with their sculptures, adding a splash of color to brighten the work, making it even more unique.
For every purchase of a bronze sculpture you will receive a certificate of authenticity, titled, signed, dated and editioned by the artists.

Description
Everything was beautiful, everything was wonderful! And all because they were together. Riding off into the first glistening gold rays of the early morning, Rabbitwoman and Dogman set off on another adventure. It was pure 100% gold.
Artwork Features
The purest example of the artist’s freehand work, Gillie and Marc’s ‘Contemporary Line & Stencil Paintings’ are a stunning series that pairs unashamedly bold colors with deep black line work to form intimate moments featuring their signature alter egos, endangered wildlife and more. The carefully selected vivid colors and unmistakable imagery means no two pieces are alike and can have multiple meanings the more they are viewed. Gillie and Marc paint each unique canvas side-by-side ensuring love is engrained in every brushstroke of each one-of-a-kind work of art. Recently inspired by the pop style of Andy Warhol and the iconic stencils of street artists Banksy and Mr. Brainwash, Gillie and Marc expanded their collection with the edgy addition of using spray paint stencils on their canvases. The stark contrast of bright colors beneath a dark stencil breathes life into this limited series, embodying Gillie and Marc’s philosophy of the importance of accessible art by playfully bringing the street to the canvas.
Please note: All canvases come stretched and ready to hang, however if you would like your painting to be framed, Gillie and Marc are happy to provide this service for you at your request. For framing enquiries please email us.
Care Instructions
It is important to keep your painting out of direct sunlight and not to lean anything against the surface of the canvas. If it gets dusty, it can be cleaned with a soft dry cloth.
Blue Indian Ringneck Parrot on Vase - Anne Smerdon
A$1,900.00
Anne Smerdon
Blue Indian Ringneck Parrot on Vase
30x24cm oil on board
Timber box frame
$1900 AU
Anne Smerdon is an Australian artist documenting the symbiotic relationship between humans and animals, particularly birds and horses. Facebeak are her pet birds Vonnegut and Schiele. Anne has an extensive knowledge of body language and psychology in birds and horses. She uses this to work with live birds to create each of her artworks. She may spend hours with each bird, patiently waiting for them to become at ease in her presence so that she can capture their true personality.
Anne’s love for birds started from a very early age when her family purchased two small parrots as pets. They were vicious and in no way tame, yet Anne quickly became fascinated with them, studying them for school projects, recording her observations and giving presentations at school on the need to understand and protect such birds. She learnt to understand the calls of wild birds and would often find injured or sick birds and bring them home to nurture them.
In 2009 Anne brought a young exotic Indian Ringneck parrot called Vonnegut into her home. This spurred on hours of reading ornithological studies, discussions with avian vets and researching. As a result, Anne’s lifestyle, artwork and even career became synonymous with birds. Since then, Anne’s presence as a bird owner on social media has grown to over 400,000 combined followers on Instagram, Tik Tok and Facebook. She has written two books The Facebeak Guide to Living with Parrots and The Facebeak Guide to Solving Parrot Problems.

Summertime on the Northern Rivers has been like a swirling, boiling pot.
Hot, humid, stormy and bursting with colour.
These works depict the subtropical, fertile, lush environment we live in.
They capture that special moment the storm clouds roll back and the sun shines through turning the land into a steamy cleansed paradise.

I’m a keen amateur photographer but these days more so iPhone-ographer. I enjoy taking shots from under the subject. This was one such photograph and as I painted I hoped it would remind us of that summer time feeling when laying on our backs in a grassy field of wildflowers watching clouds float by and flowers sway in the breeze. It is my intention to evoke a calm and tranquil feeling.

Recently I visited the coast solo for 3 nights of midweek escapism. Purpose being to recharge creative inspiration, It happened to be in the middle of whale migration season and so did not disappoint. I chatted to a couple who come daily to look over the ocean from Hastings Point. What a fabulous ritual and this particular day the whales came in constant succession, breaching almost on queue for us all to see.

Cabarita Hill Littoral Rainforest

61 x 91.5cm
$1650
Cabarita Hill littoral rainforest is a small, unique, and critically endangered coastal rainforest remnant located on top of a sand and rocky outcrop. The clifftop position and low windswept canopy make it distinct, and the area is of high conservation value and protected underFederal Law. Littoral rainforest is a forest community that occurs within 2 kilometres of the sea and is dominated by rainforest plants. Huge tracts of littoral rainforest on the TweedCoast were reduced firstly by logging and then clearing and mining to extract minerals from the beach sand.
I was fortunate enough to win second place in the 2023 Ocean Shores Art Expo. The
judges’ comments were :“The judges were impressed by the sensitive portrayal of the littoral space adjacent to the beach and rainforest. A keenly observed landscape that is wonderfully worked in terms of the detailed treatment of diverse foliage and flowering trees.” I was very pleased with these comments, as it is exactly how I want people to view this painting.

Celebrating coming from the Northern Rivers NSW! We are surrounded by inspiration and natural beauty, where there is always an incredible view, colourful giant food or something quirky that catches my eye.

Inspired by the rhyolite outcrops around the caldera region of the Northern Rivers, NSW.
The name rhyolite (from Greek “rhuax” for stream or flow plus “lithos” for stone) was introduced into geology in 1860 by the German traveler and geologist Ferdinand von Richthofen. Rhyolite is an igneous, volcanic rock. It is rich in silicon with a texture that can be glassy, fine grain or a mixture of crystal sizes. Natural rhyolite displays green, cream and occasional brown tones with patterns and inclusions.
Perceived as a balancing stone, rhyolite is often recommended to increase self-esteem, self-worth while helping to bring resolution to issues. It is stone that is thought to facilitate change, variety and progress while helping to deal calmly with challenges. Rhyolite is believed to assist in fulfilling one’s goals and making one’s dreams come true, while strengthening the soul, body and mind.
‘Hopes and Dreams’ has emerged as quiet work during a troubled time, and an exploration of shape and space.e

I painted this after several visits into this beautiful region in the Numinbah Valley, in the Gold Coast hinterland. Allowing several layers to dry over several days, I built up several layers of transparent glazes to enhance the spray mist and glowing light through the canopy of trees above. Waterfalls are one of the most challenging landscapes to paint, so I really enjoyed the challenge.
