Scott Denholm is an award winning contemporary ocean artist living on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland, Australia.

Scott began painting traditional landscape scenes in 1993, age 10 and received two years of tutoring from local artists. As a junior, Scott’s award winning landscapes showed a maturity in his style and technique years beyond his age.

Later joining the famous Australia Zoo crew for 7 years, his interest and dedication to the environment led him on the path in 2011 to becoming the world’s first and only eco conscious surf artist.

Featuring Artist:  Fenna de King

Growing up in Fiji I spent most of my childhood surrounded by the ocean. Fast forward 20 years … 1 husband and 2 children later, I’ve blissfully stepped back into time. Who would have even imagined that an insatiable passion for longboarding would uncover a slight talent for photography. Constantly learning, all I hope to do is to replicate what I can see in front of me .. the undeniable beauty of the ocean & all who are in it, radiant in all it’s colours and textures. This is my happy place.

Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions in regards to purchasing any images, organising a photo shoot or just saying hello !!

Featuring Artist:  Celeste Dawson

Celeste’s artist’s practice consists of paintings with a very distinct and occurring theme of organic forms, lines, shapes, colours, and natural themes based on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland, Australia.

Celeste is a Christian artist, and in her painting she reveals through the lens of her faith the glory and beauty of God, His creation (or nature), and the spiritual power this holds. The ocean, the experience of the ocean, and nature in general are an instinctual and intuitive basis of the works she produces.

Celeste is known amongst the coast for her large-scale black and white murals, which she has learned over the last year is her most preferred medium to work in. Celeste is also exploring hosting and curating local exhibitions, particularly seeking to represent emerging artists from the area.

Having lived in the Sunshine Coast her whole life, the surrounding environment has undoubtedly been a major influence on her identity as an artist, as well as her faith. These two contributing factors reveal the formula for her art making.

Featuring Artist:  Bino Smith

A self-taught multi medium artist from Aotearoa, New Zealand.

I am of Maori/Croatian decent and was brought up on my marae in Hongoeka Bay, Porirua, Wellington. My tribal connections are Ngāti Toa Rangatira, Ngāti Raukawa, Te Ati Awa, Ngāti Kahungunu. And Tainui, Tokomaru and Takitimu being my canoes.

Many of my inspirations come from my strong Māori heritage, and the values our culture upholds, and the Māori way of seeing the world (holistically). As with all indigenous cultures, Māori still retain a close connection to Papatuanuku (Mother Earth) and our many gods.
