Scott McFarlane is known primarily for his dark, powerful, spiritual landscapes but is equally competent in the ceramic discipline.Since graduating with honours from Otago School of Art in 1993, Scott has exhibited widely throughout New Zealand.  From 1997 - 98 was Artist in Residence at the Rita Angus Cottage, Wellington.  Originally from Wellington, Scott has spent time in Northland and Dunedin - the dramatic landscape of both islands influencing his painting.  He now lives and works in Northland.

Garry Currin's work is …"made major by a scope that encompasses not only the edgy physical attributes of its subject, but also the metaphorical implications, so that Currin actually captures the power, the darkness and the malevolence of the very thing that he paints."
Garry Currin's work is held in significant collections throughout New Zealand.

Craig MacDonald first started working in bronze in the late 1980's in the studio of acclaimed New Zealand sculptor Paul Dibble. He has exhibited his works at numerous award, solo and group exhibitions with his work is held in private and corporate collections in Australia and overseas. In 2011 MacDonald won the Montalto Sculpture Prize, an acquisitive award with a prize of $20,000, for his work Witness. MacDonald is also the Master Founder at the Garage Art Foundry in Elphinstone, Central Victoria, and works with artists from all over Australia to realize their sculpture through the process of bronze casting.
