Born in 1976 in the western suburbs of Melbourne, Llael McDonald demonstrated an interest in art from an early age. By the time she was seven years old, she had started painting in oils, and at fifteen she made her first sale to her art teacher. It was clear to Llael and those who knew her that painting was going to play a leading role in her life. Although she had a natural aptitude for drawing and painting, her creative ambitions far outweighed her technical skills early on, and so she committed to a focused, patient practice in order to transfer the vision in her mind onto canvas. Llael formalised her practice studying fine art, photography, art history and popular culture at the Independent College of Art and Design (ICAD),…

Born in Taipei, Taiwan but having moved to Melbourne later in life, Hsin describes the appeal of the city, having fallen in love with its multiculturalism and elegant aesthetic. After graduating from RMIT University, Hsin moved back to Taiwan to launch her own fashion label. Being active in numerous international exhibitions and television programs in the fashion industry, Hsin found great success as a fashion designer. A few years later Hsin decided that she missed Melbourne and relocated back to the city to extend her expertise in visual art. After living a fast paced life Hsin realised that “the faster we run, the more we have a greater need to slow down our heart”. “I was lucky enough to have Carole Jackson be my mentor, to guide me toward the…

TAKE A JOURNEY OF DISCOVERY East Coast Encounter is a multi-arts exhibition that featured at the Coffs Harbour Regional Gallery from 28 April to 17 June. The exhibition was an initiative involving Australian Indigenous and non-Indigenous artists, writers and songwriters to re-imagine the encounter by Lt James Cook and his crew with Aboriginal people in 1770. It sought to promote cultural dialogue and reconciliatory understanding between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians. Cook’s voyage along the Australian east coast has become central to national historical narratives. The exhibition of paintings, photographs, videos and three dimensional works re-envisages this seminal journey by imaginatively exploring moments of contact between two world views during these encounters. Developed by the University of the Sunshine Coast, it forms part of the Australian National Maritime Museum Collection and…

STEP ONE In the preliminary sketch stage I address major objects that I want to emphasise, for example the river stones, the drifting wood which caught the water flow in the centre, the dead tree branches on the down left side and the layering vegetation. In this stage, a 2B pencil and black watercolour pencil are used for outlining. Occasionally Mungyo Pastels are used for colour hue testing. Watercolour pencils blend in well with no sketching trace left once the paint is applied, or with just a little bit of water. The pastels can be easily brushed off the canvas surface with a soft round brush. STEP TWO Start with the details on the right side landscape. I started in an anticlockwise order with the drifting wood, the stones, then…

ARTIST’S PALETTE magazine seeks to showcase the works of talented Australians producing art at a whole range of skill levels, whether they are accomplished creative people with a long history of achievements or beginners (of all ages) striving to build their identities and reach their particular artistic goals. This ‘Gallery’ segment provides a place to display pictures by people who may not have the means or the opportunity to be extensively featured in our magazine. Submissions are sought from such people for future Issues. This issue we are pleased to display the work of another three enthusiastic artists. I have always had an interest in art and mildly dabbled in it now and then over the years but never undertook any formal training or study due to work and family…

Jacqueline “Jacqui” Cleijne is a self-taught artist with a passion for depicting Tasmanian animals and nature, a delightful task given the state’s natural picturesque serenity and unique native animal life. Born in Hobart, Tasmania, Jacqui lived and worked for a period as an Architectural Draftsperson in Queensland, returning back to Tasmania in the late 80’s to pursue her drafting career and follow her passion for art. “My work as a draftsperson was full of challenges inherent in the building industry, but it taught me so much and it further developed my natural ability to draw.” Many fundamental lessons for being a good artist were learnt and the drafting career gave Jacqui the tools to pursue her passion for art. Her Robyn , also an accomplished artist, has naturally been influential…

Out of my head I had to draw the crew in. To add to their plight, the binding holding a portside oar in its rowlock had come loose and the oar was adrift. One crew member has lost his hat. Two are in fear of the wave, one in fear of the rocks, two discuss what action they may take if the worst happens, while the skipper…

DEREK KRECKLER: ACCIDENT & PROCESS Derek Kreckler: Accident & Process is a major survey exhibition bringing together, for the first time, five decades of the artist’s oeuvre. It encompasses photography, video, installation and performance works that date from the 1970s to the present day. Kreckler is a leading Austra- lian artist known for his experimental conceptual and post-minimalist practice. The exhibition includes works such as Blind Ned (1996), which portrays an icon lost in the landscape and White Goods (2004) - a series of photographs capturing the dark foreboding of the bush and its attendant colonising culture. An early work, How to Discipline a Tree (1989) implicates viewers in the act of mass consumption, locating them within an installation of pulped newpapers and monumental excess. The multi-channel video installation Antidote…
