Title: Black and White Cat with Black and White Dress
Size: 167 x 152 cm Medium: Acrylic on Canvas Price: $7000
My painting of a floating dress with a cat watching on is a metaphor for how women are scrutinized and evaluated by their wardrobe. Appearance is a dominant factor in how we are perceived and evaluated. The repeated patterning echoes both conformity and strictures within society. The cat stands in for the eyes of society, languidly casting a critical eye over the woman who without her attractive attire is often invisible.

Title: Cloud Hills
Size: 92 x 76 cm Medium: Acrylic on Canvas Price: $1500
I am drawn to the inner beauty of cloudscapes interpreting them in abstract and dreamlike manners.

Title: Per Mutua Nexis
Size: 186 x 143 cm Medium: Pencil and Watercolour on 9 Birch Wood Panels Price: $12000
"Per mutua nexis" is Latin for intertwined.
My love of etching, drawing and painting on wood panels brings out the textures and soft hues of the flora and fauna of both the Australian and Korean bush. I wanted to create a place where each of us could be surrounded by both cultures and be enticed to look, listen, hear and smell what we take for granted.
I create these artworks on my verandah in the Burralong Valley, Lower Hunter NSW and in my garden studio forever being inspired by what surrounds me.

Title: 1-24
Size: 104 x 150 cm Medium: Oil on Wood Price: $8000
1-24 geometric painting I have done in 24 blocks separately. I use geometrics shapes and curves to inform my practise and the viewer of my inner feelings of my world in the studio. these blocks can be moved into different positions so it a could be called a art puzzle with many possibilities. perhaps a art game.

Title: ONE #1
Size: 90 cm Diameter Medium: Hand-Rolled Hanji Pellets (Korean Mulberry Paper) & Acrylic on Board Price: $3200
This series, ONE, reflects the concept of the individual and the whole. In Korean, the word pronounced 'one' or 'won' means circle. My work is inspired by the 1970s Korean Dansaekhwa movement, when artists pushed, soaked, dragged, ripped and otherwise manipulated the materials of painting.

Title: Happy Together (Triptych)
Size: 36 x 65 cm Medium: Enamel Metal Price: $5500
With many tragic events that had been taking place around the world, I felt the need to create work that was cheerful, uplifting and expressed happiness.
According to researchers at the University of California, taking and sharing happy photos, including smiling “selfies” can have an uplifting effect on your mood.
Based on this study, “Happy Together” inspired by many selfie photos I come across online. Generally, most of the selfies photos that make me happy are the ones when people posted with the “V” hand symbol. In Asia, this hand symbol signifies peace and happiness.
Making “Happy Together” is my way of finding peace and contentment. I experienced a positive change in my overall mood; I felt more mindful, reflective and appreciative.
I hope “Happy Together” will have an uplifting effect on the mood of the public as it did for me.

Title: Actaeon
Size: 93 x 138 cm Medium: Acrylic on Canvas Price: $2400
My practice explores mythologies and narratives that incorporate nature and natural phenomena. They often expound a state of fluidity between what is human or Godlike, with what is animal, plant, the sky or earth. These transformations are carried out with ease and are used to symbolize punishments, routes to escape pursuit or routes to nirvana, and reflect the inherent nature of our perceived interconnectedness.
In Actaeon’s story, his transformation into a stag served as punishment for his transgression upon the Goddess Artemis. He became prey to his own beloved hunting dogs.

Title: Mangroves
Size: 93 x 126 cm Medium: Ink on Paper Price: $5000
When walking through the coastal areas near where I live on the Central Coast, I take photos of the bushland and waterways. At home, I print out the photos I am interested in and set down to draw my own interpretation of what I experience in that scene.
'Mangroves' was drawn with permanent pigment ink pens. I find these pens enable me to explore every moment and step through this environment in a graphic and detailed way; not as a direct representation but with a creative and exploratory process.

Title: The Porcelain Life Raft
Size: 100 x 100 cm Medium: Acrylic and ground pigment on paper Price: $6600
“I think the sea swallowed dozens of tea sets - tossed in abandon off liners or consigned to the tide by jilted brides. I collected a shiver of china bits, with borders of larkspur and birds or braids of daisies. No two patterns ever matched”. Sylvia Plath

Sairi Yoshizawa
Title: Shades of Distance
Size: 112 x 55 cm Medium: Hand Woven and Naturally Dyed Cotton and Wool Price: $840
Sairi Yoshizawa’s work reflects her interest in the eternal discovery of colours in local landscapes. Natural dye reveals unpredictable colours; it is like searching for and recording nuances of colours and patterns in the land, or more simply, it depicts the effects of the passing of time.
This work is dyed with eucalyptus bark, gradation of colours and its pattern mimic the layers of the beneath and narratives of nature, both past present and future.
The process and materials are used as a metaphoric representation. The material becomes a being absorbing the substances in the environment, exploring the inner surface of truth and sense of belonging.
