Bernice Daher is a classically trained artist whose foundation at Sydney’s Julian Ashton Art School instilled a lifelong respect for traditional drawing and painting techniques. Over the past two decades, she has expanded her practice to embrace more expressive and exploratory elements, creating work that balances craftsmanship with curiosity. Inspired by nature and the human experience, Bernice’s art ranges from seascapes and native flora to portraiture, always underpinned by her passion for drawing as the heart of her creative process. Her versatile practice spans oils, watercolours, pastels, and more, resulting in work that is both grounded in tradition and alive with personal expression.

Sandra McArthur is an artist, educator, and art therapist with over 30 years’ experience in the Visual Arts. Having taught across Sydney, the Central Coast, and now Crescent Head, she is dedicated to nurturing creative confidence in children and adults alike. Working in pencils, pastels, and oils, Sandra’s impressionistic pieces explore fleeting moments and inner landscapes, inspired by both the natural world and human emotion. Her work has been shown in solo and group exhibitions, is held in private collections, and can currently be viewed at Big Wednesday Studio in Crescent Head and online
