Gino Campagnaro is an Australian artist based in Adelaide, South Australia. Originally from Sydney, he always lived close to the coastline and its many beautiful beaches.

His paintings are inspired by Bondi – the beach and the suburb, where he lived for many years – as well as the mid- century mecca of Palm Springs, which he visited in 2019, and the Amalfi Coast from an Italian trip in 2017.

Palm Springs especially created a platform of inspiration: the sun creating moody light on the architecture and landscapes, people venturing out for a swim or a cocktail around the pool. Everything seemed simple, in a complicated way.

His aim as a painter is to make the complicated simple — always working to create a visually appealing picture with a palpable sense of space and atmosphere; the sort of idyllic landscape you’d quite like to walk into. His background as a creative director has led him to keep edges, shadows and shapes simple and distinct.

Inspired by Edward Hopper, David Hockney, and photographers Slim Aarons and George Byrne.

Having grown up in a household with a full-time artist, Kate has always had an interest in art and especially paintings. Born in 1982 in Adelaide then Sydney-raised, Kate achieved a Bachelor of Fine Arts in 2003, pursuing a successful career in graphic design before making the switch to art.

Mentored by her fine artist father, she now focuses her time and energy into life as a contemporary artist from her studio in Brisbane, specialising in contemporary landscapes.

Nature provides endless inspiration — whether a vibrant seaside or a rural scene composed of dreamy hues. Her style is textural and bold; the placement and shape of every part of the painting is as considered as the colours themselves.

“The main aim of my art practice is to bring joy and beauty onto the canvas. Colour is full of life and it’s all around us, so I’m just translating what’s already there.” Her paintings are in private collections throughout Australia, Asia, Europe, USA and Canada.

Ken Rasmussen grew up in Broome, Marble Bar and other Western Australian country towns. He was educated at Scotch College, and attended the University of Western Australia, studying Literature and one year of Law.

He subsequently completed a Bachelor of Arts in Fine Arts at the West Australian Institute of Technology (now Curtin University), majoring in painting.

Since graduation, Ken has painted professionally, gaining a reputation for realist drawing, watercolour and oil painting skills. More recently he has evolved as a modern realist impressionist painter.

Ken is passionate about how places create meaning in people’s lives. His oil paintings are a window to the memories and experiences that light up our lives and connect us to the people we love most — celebrating local connection, familiar streets and the quiet significance of the places we call home.
