About the artists

Mike Healy

Mike Healy’s artwork appeals to lovers of geometric shapes and bright colours. He tries to find beauty in the simplicity of clean lines and his work aims to secretly take your eye on a satisfying journey. Drawing on mid-century themes, Healy’s collages pay tribute to purity of shape and colour and remind us to reconnect with art that has a simple beauty in mind.

‘Objects that are well designed and timeless are good for the soul.’

Jan Liesfield

Journeys through landscapes, both locally and overseas, are what inspire Liesfield to create artwork. In her prints she depicts these scenes in a stylised manner, hoping to evoke a sense of place without being literal copies of them.

Liesfield loves to use mark making and depict the landscape in layers, from close-up to the far distance, manipulating the view in such a way as to include as much detail as possible. Using lino printing enables her to make images that represent the shapes and forms of the landscape, the plants and birds that she sees on her travels. It’s a little like keeping a travel journal really.
