Seasons to Bloom by Bronwyn Searle
17 July - 5 August 2025While most plants stay green all year round in a subtropical climate, their time to bloom reflects the changes in the four seasons.
As a gardener attuned to these cycles, Bronwyn captures their presence in her still life paintings and highlights the essence of each flower staged with light and shadow.

Notes from Home by Zac Moynihan
17 July - 5 August 2025Notes from Home is a reflection of my deep affection for the local neighbourhoods that shape my daily life. These streets, verandahs, sweeping views, and light-filled corners are more than backdrops—they are characters with their own moods, quirks, and quiet rhythms. I’m drawn to the familiar: the way the afternoon sun lights up the trees, a glimpse through a hedge, or the hum of a street I’ve walked a hundred times. Painting these places is my way of noticing, of holding onto the beauty that can so easily be overlooked. There’s an intimacy in the act of returning—to the same street, the same bend in the path—and discovering something new each time. These works are not just scenes; they’re memories, observations, and quiet moments of connection with the place I call home.

Matt James
17 October - 4 November 2025Brisbane artist Matt James’ art practice is focussed upon landscape painting and drawing. Having grown up in rural West Wales, Matt’s love of the outdoors is the key driver of his dynamic works.
Based on pencil and oil sketches created in situ, from photographs, and from his recollection of locations, Matt’s dynamic representations of place arise from a synthesis of memory and sense impressions. Considered observation of the shape of the landscape, the movement of clouds, the perception of distance and the shifting of light inform Matt’s thickly textured approach, allowing him to move between representational and abstract responses to places.

Lisa Christensen
7 - 25 November 2025Redcliffe-based artist Lisa Christensen graduated from the Queensland College of Art in 2006 with a Bachelor of Fine Art (Honours), majoring in painting. Lisa has exhibited in Brisbane and the South-East Corner, and her work has been selected for various prizes including the Thiess Art Prize, Gadens Top Ten, Clayton Utz Art Award and the Robert Jacks Drawing Prize.
Lisa’s paintings have evolved out of a “love for detail, colour and form, and the desire to convey something otherworldly with humble everyday objects”.
Extending on the rich history of still-life painting, Lisa is influenced by the Dutch and Spanish still-life paintings of the 17th century, that focused on themes of mortality through the depiction of flowers, fruits and other domestic objects that stand as reminders of impermanence in this life.
