My life in dog years
DOGXGOD
I have lived with dogs for now for 45 years plus.
In the past 42 years of making art, dogs have always appeared as a subject.
My dog paintings are personal.
I currently live with 2 dogs, and they are part of every aspect of my life.
This is a portrait show and as always started with drawing, ink and pencil gestural drawings from life, followed by the paintings.
I have recently started using water-based mediums, pigments and binders working on paper and laminated card.
This change in mediums results in a flow off the brush, quick drying times and a more drawing with paint and multi layered surfaces approach.
I have not concentrated on specific dog personalities, but as the painting progresses it finds each dogs personality.
I guess what I am saying is that ‘I like dogs’
I have known a lot of great dogs.
And I enjoy drawing and painting them.

Abandoned and Renewed
Fire is the product of energy produced by the sun. For thousands of years we used fire directly by burning wood and fossil fuels. Industrial societies have harnessed this energy by generating electricity and distributing it through a grid of power-lines which march across our landscapes. (catalogue extract)

Jenna Choi is a Korean–Australian flautist based in Brisbane/Meanjin. At the heart of her practice is a desire to foster connection — between performer and audience, tradition and new perspectives, sound and lived experience.
Having immigrated to Australia at a young age, Jenna found a profound sense of belonging in music. She first fell in love with it in the warmth of her teacher’s studio — a room filled with scores, CDs, paintings, and sculptures. There, she began learning a language that felt endlessly expansive.
What began as a childhood refuge deepened into a lifelong vocation: in the goosebumps of chamber music, in countless hours of practice, and in the quiet process of understanding herself through her instrument.
This path led her to formal studies at the Victorian College of the Arts Secondary School, before completing a Bachelor of Music with Honours at the Melbourne Conservatorium of Music, The University of Melbourne, and a Master of Music Studies at Queensland Conservatorium, Griffith University, under the guidance of Mardi McSullea and Alison Mitchell.
During her studies, Jenna was the recipient of the John Hopkins Music Award, AG McMillen Arts Trust, Ellinor Gertrude Harris Bequest, and the Bebbington Prize.
In 2024, Jenna delivered a performance of André Jolivet’s Flute Concerto with the Divertimenti String Ensemble — an experience that affirmed her commitment to music-making with both resilience and openness. Jenna has appeared in masterclasses across Australia and England with distinguished international artists, including Leone Buyse, Trevor Wye, Adam Walker, Paul Edmund-Davies, Sally Walker, Prudence Davis, and Michel Bellavance. As a chamber musician, Jenna has enjoyed sharing the concert stage with members of Ensemble Q and the Australian String Quartet.
Jenna remains drawn to the ever-unfolding nature of music. She hopes to continue sharing this experience with audiences, collaborators, and students alike.
Ricardo Steyer is a Brazilian 7-string guitarist, vocalist, and cultural ambassador of Choro, Samba & MPB (Música Popular Brasileira).
Born in Porto Alegre - Brazil, and currently based in Sydney, Ricardo discovered music at an early age, first as a self-taught artist exploring diverse genres before establishing himself professionally in the early 2000s within Brazil's vibrant Rock and Pop-Rock scenes.
Since relocating to Sydney in 2012, his focus has shifted to celebrating his homeland's rich musical traditions abroad. From intimate solo performances to dynamic 9-piece ensembles, Ricardo brought the infectious Brazilian Music to Australia's most prestigious stages, including opening for international artists on world tours at Sydney's Factory Theatre and the Concert Hall of The Concourse Chatswood, bridging cultures through performance and collaboration. Since 2014 Ricardo has also been a driving force in developing the Choro scene in Australia, collaborating with several groups and a number of artists across diverse formations.
Deepening his craft, Ricardo studied at the renowned Brazilian School of Choro Raphael Rabello and immersed himself in the art of the 7-string guitar under the mentorship of virtuoso Fernando César 7 cordas (brother of Hamilton de Holanda). Since 2015, this instrument has been the heartbeat of his music, allowing him to blend tradition with innovation.
Beyond the stage, Ricardo is passionate about mentoring the next generation of musicians, sharing hard-won insights from his 20+ year journey across genres to help artists develop their technical mastery, creative voice, and professional artistry.
