Award winning artist Petronella van Leusden’s work shows an incredibly diverse skill set. She uses a varied range of materials and mediums to give expression to her subject. Petronella has studied fine art and sculpture extensively both in The Netherlands and Australia and her knowledge and breadth of experience demonstrates itself with her use of depth and form. Her work integrates a three dimensionality where the subject and the environment interact. Her focus is to use her creative expression to channel and elicit an emotive response from the viewer, allowing them to add their interpretation.

Ceramicist, Michaela Kloeckner, trained under master potter Errol Barnes in 1982, has grown from prolific studio potter to internationally awarded artist. Her acclaimed pieces—ranging from skyline-inspired “Urban Vessels” to China-influenced three-legged forms—blend functional roots with sculptural flair and spirited teaching.
