This is what the EMERGessence artists had to say about their work:

Ambience – I am a self-taught artist whose artistic expression takes shape through my diverse paintings and mixed media collages. My contemporary artworks range from abstract to realistic to impressionistic – all visionary interpretations from my imaginary soul.

William Ainger – Light reveals character, disclosing shades previously concealed. Capturing what’s seen, I manipulate it to present my interpretation.

Paul Bradly – I am interested in the relationships between man’s ego and the rhythms of nature. This installation consists of recent street photography from Australia and New York city.

Jamie WD Lewis – Now living in Dubai and flying for work, I am exploring the world of moving colour and light reflection. Using my macro, I take photos of subjects that don’t always reveal their true form.

Megan Maxwell – I celebrate exploring freedom of expression in reflecting youth, culture, desire and political and economic issues facing contemporary society. I express these concepts using mixed media and multi-modal presentations. Changing of style and changing of media is something in which I incorporate into my art.
