ART ST NEWS
We would like to thank you for all your support over the years, and give extra thanks to those of you who have purchased any of our paintings. It really means so much to realise someone likes their work enough to make a purchase and encourages us to keep going!
Purchasing original artwork directly from our ART ST Artists, means they receive the full value of their creative efforts. Although we would love to have our own physical gallery one day, for the time being, we don't which means we keep our overheads very low. Most other online and storefront galleries take 30 to 60% commission on sales and use this to cover overheads such as web design and hosting, staffing and premises rent and upkeep.
If you are unable to view the artwork for any reason, please ask us to arrange an online transaction for you! Pay online and we'll deliver the painting. Quick and easy!
Please share our news with your friends!
Exhibiting Artists
ART ST Artists regularly participate in exhibitions and competitions in and around Brisbane. You can also find some of our paintings in galleries around Brisbane and even in Ballerat!
Nothing beats seeing an artwork in the flesh! Our website is good, but you can't see the texture, the brush-strokes or smell the linseed!

This is ART ST's risk free, no obligation way to purchase a specific artwork. It is similar to commissioning an artist, but better! Perfect for your home or office or to give your loved ones something special they can admire for years to come.

Recent Art Requests have included watercolour of a country lansdscape for a Christmas present, Chinese zodiac animals travelling together in a natural scape for a newly acquired home and a drawing of an orange cat with a regal lion's mane as a gift to someone who had recently lost her fur baby.

EXTENSIONS OF HOME Art Exhibition @ Manly Harbour Gallery
ART ST Artists: Anne Armstrong - Solo exhibition
November, 2021, Manly"I’ve been thinking a lot about ‘home’ and how there are many uses and meanings of the word ‘home’. I think the real meaning of the word is found in the phrase ‘wherever your heart is, that is your ‘home’. When I lived overseas and I referred to ‘home’ I was referring to the whole country of Australia. Now I live in Brisbane and refer to ‘home’ I often mean where I grew up, not the actual house, but the State of Western Australia, or even my home town of Kalgoorlie. But there’s also another meaning to the word. When ‘home’ is thought to be the ‘safe’ place ... I know a lot of ‘homes’ are not always necessarily safe, but everyone surely has some place where they feel safe – even (as a child) if it’s outside hiding in the garden under a favourite shrub, at a friend’s home, or under the bedcovers on a stormy night. Home is therefore, I think, more a ‘feeling’ than a building."

New ART ST Artists
In February, we welcome Paul Leslie to ART ST!
Since retiring, Gold Coast Artist, Paul Leslie has devoted more time to painting and experimenting, catching up for lost time and doing what he enjoys. Australian landscape subjects tend to be his main focus. His aim is to get better, progress and produce paintings that people can enjoy and keep.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Last year, we welcomed Bruce Owens to our group.
Surfing and snorkelling in his youth kindled his appreciation of the environment and a desire to portray the beauty of nature. He particularly enjoys painting landscapes and seascapes depicting the reflected light, colour, detail and movement.
Now retired after a career in commercial art and nursing, he now has the time to indulge his passion for painting!
