Welcoming New Talent
We expanded our creative family with two new artists: Bronte Goodieson & Jon Ching. Their unique styles have brought fresh perspectives and exciting energy to our collections.
Bronte Goodieson
Bronte Goodieson is a Sydney-based artist, she works both digitally and traditionally; Her range of prints and artwork is stocked among boutiques nation-wide. The nature of her work is inspired by coast and ocean living.
Jon Ching
Jon Ching grew up steeped in natural beauty on the island of O’ahu, Hawai’i, which formed the foundation of his deep fascination with the natural and wild world. A self-taught painter, Jon’s devoted art practice and detailed realism is inspired by the interconnectedness of nature. While dedicated to the minute idiosyncrasies of flora, fauna, and fungi, Jon’s work is a surreal imagining of what limitless wonders and combinations nature can produce.
