Alice Tilley, Parched, 2026
Oil on board, 52×44cm framed in natural oak.
Alice Tilley is an emerging South Australian artist who lives and works on a cropping and sheep farm near Kapunda. She works mainly in oil and mixed media and paints landscapes, still life and figures with expressive brushwork and a lively interplay of light, shape and colour. Alice studied at Adelaide Central School of Art on a scholarship. In 2015, while raising her three children, she came back to painting with a renewed focus. In 2026 she won First Prize in the Gawler Art Prize and the Emerging Artist Award in The Corner Store Gallery’s Regional Art Prize.
Alice Tilley’s practice is rooted in the rhythms of everyday life on her family’s farm near Kapunda in rural South Australia. She draws inspiration from quiet moments at home, in the garden and in the agricultural landscape around her.
Whether the subject is a landscape, a still life or a person, Alice’s work is an act of attentive observation: noticing and engaging with everyday moments and places. Both the process of painting and the artwork itself are a way to slow down and escape the constant busyness and distraction of modern life.
Working mainly in oil and mixed media, Alice creates figurative paintings with expressive brushwork and a dynamic interplay of light, shape and colour.

Allison Taplin, Meet Me in the Middle of the Air, 2026
Oil on canvas, 73×63cm framed in Tasmanian oak.
Allison Taplin is an Australian landscape painter based in the Macedon Ranges region of Victoria. Known for her richly textured oil paintings, she captures the beauty, light and atmosphere of the Australian landscape through expansive skies, rolling hills, towering trees and open fields. Her distinctive use of colour and texture creates a sense of calm, inviting viewers to pause and connect with the natural world.
Allison's artistic journey began as a form of healing following the loss of her son. Painting became a source of comfort and reflection, and she continues to create in his memory from her intimate workspace, Little Leif Studio. Alongside her art practice, Allison works full-time as a registered nurse, drawing ongoing inspiration from the diverse landscapes that surround her.
Her paintings explore both the vastness and quiet beauty of regional Australia. Layered with texture and infused with light, each work reflects a deep appreciation for place and the restorative power of nature. Through her practice, Allison seeks to create artworks that bring a sense of warmth, stillness and connection into the home.

Linda Kruger, Green Bottle with Two Dishes, 2026
Acrylic on canvas, 33×43cm framed in oak.
Linda Kruger is a contemporary Australian artist working across painting, traditional printmaking, and digital design. With a professional background in developing screen-based content for museum exhibitions, Linda brings clarity, precision, and a deep visual awareness to her multidisciplinary practice. Her work has been exhibited extensively across Australia, including two recent solo exhibitions and numerous curated group shows.
Linda’s current body of work focuses on modern still life painting, where she explores the quiet intimacy of domestic space. Her compositions are minimal and restrained, offering a contemplative study of everyday objects - cups, bowls, vessels - rendered with subtle texture and carefully controlled colour. These paintings honour the overlooked beauty of the ordinary, transforming familiar forms into visual meditations on presence, memory, and stillness.
Through her contemporary still life practice, Linda Kruger creates a gentle tension between simplicity and emotion. The pared-back aesthetic and modern shapes invite viewers to slow down and notice the quiet details of home life. Her work sits within the lineage of still life while offering a fresh, modern interpretation - deeply personal, visually refined, and resonant with the rhythms of daily living.

Rachel Melchers, Golden Morning, 2026
Oil on canvas, 78x103cm framed in Tasmanian Oak.
Rachel Melchers is an Australian contemporary artist creating bold, expressive abstract landscape paintings that capture the emotional and sensory experience of nature. Known for her vibrant use of colour, layered textures, and intuitive mark-making, Rachel’s original artworks bring movement, energy, and atmosphere into any space.
Working from her studio in Mudgee, NSW, Rachel is inspired by the rolling hills and open skies of the surrounding countryside, as well as the coastal landscapes of Newcastle where she grew up. These natural environments, rich with personal connection, serve as the foundation for her abstracted interpretations of place and memory.
Her paintings are created using oil paint and oil stick on canvas, with surfaces built up in layers of transparent washes, bold opaque strokes, and expressive textures. Each piece is unique, often incorporating collaged fabrics, scraping, and mark-making techniques that reveal the depth of the work beneath the surface.
Rachel’s intuitive process allows the artwork to unfold naturally, guided by emotion and memory rather than strict representation. The result is a striking collection of original abstract landscape art that speaks to collectors seeking one-of-a-kind, handmade pieces with soul.
Rachel holds a Visual Arts degree from the University of Newcastle and has exhibited in solo and group shows across Australia. Her work has been recognised in multiple art awards and is held in private collections both locally and internationally.

Daniel Rivers, Under Construction: Morisset Peninsula, 2026
Soft pastel on paper, 32×24.5cm framed behind non-reflective glass.
Daniel Rivers is an Australian artist and architect based in Lake Macquarie, NSW. Working primarily with soft pastels, he creates atmospheric landscape works that explore light, shadow, and the quiet poetry of place. His practice is grounded in close observation - capturing drifting clouds, shifting shadows, and subtle moments of change that often go unnoticed.
With a background in architecture and a lifelong passion for drawing, Daniel approaches mark-making as both documentation and discovery. Sketching has become an essential part of his process, a way to slow down, study the natural world, and translate its rhythms into expressive, layered compositions.
Daniel’s work traces a deeply personal geography: the rugged bushland of his childhood near the Wollemi, the sandstone escarpments of the Illawarra, and the ever-changing coastal light of Lake Macquarie. Through soft pastels and a sensitive use of colour and atmosphere, he captures the essence of these landscapes - inviting viewers into moments of calm, clarity, and quiet reflection.

Eira Chidgey, Pod, 2026
Acrylic on canvas, 43×43cm framed in ash.
Eira Chidgey is a mixed media abstract artist whose intuitive practice explores memory, relationships, motherhood and the quiet rhythms of daily life. Her work is rooted in storytelling, drawing on shared human experiences and emotional connection through colour, mark and texture.
With a background in textile design and a First Class Honours degree in Contemporary Applied Arts, Chidgey has a strong sensitivity to surface and pattern. Her layered abstract works often incorporate found materials and stitch, creating tactile compositions that balance intuition with material depth.
This body of work is inspired by the beginning of a new year and the feeling of shedding old skins and moving forward with intention. Created during periods of immersion in nature, these works respond to time spent sleeping beneath tall trees and swimming in quiet lakes. The resulting paintings are raw and unrestrained, guided by truth and intuition rather than perfection.
Chidgey is a UK-born artist now based in Newcastle NSW. She was a finalist in The Newcastle Club Foundation Art Prize 2025, The Hunter Emerging Art Prize 2025, The Leda Art Prize 2025 and The Mini Series Art Prize 2025. Her work has been exhibited widely and is held in private collections across Australia, Europe and the United Kingdom.

Jo Fernandez, Illumination, 2026
Oil on canvas, 63×93cm framed in oak.

She has been with The Corner Store Gallery since 2019, has held two solo and online exhibitions, and been a finalist in the Mini Series, Inside This Box, Regional Landscape, Calleen, Cabonne, and Central Belonging Art Prizes.
The artist is fascinated by clouds. Ephemeral and fleeting, clouds offer a natural language that projects infinite moods, thoughts and feelings. Looking skyward we surrender to the moment, moving us from what we see to what we feel - joy, wonder, enchantment.

Ann Gordon, Farm Gate View, O’Connell, 2026
Mixed media on canvas, 63×63cm framed in oak.
Ann Gordon’s abstract landscapes are a vibrant reflection of her deep connection to the natural environment. Through her paintings, she captures the energy and beauty of the bush, translating her experiences into intuitive, layered artworks.
When traveling into nature, Ann carries a small set of graphite pencils, charcoal, and paints to document what she sees and feels in her art journal. She collects natural elements like sticks and bark, which she uses for mark-making in her studio practice, further bridging the connection between her physical experience in nature and the abstract interpretations that emerge on canvas.
In her studio, Ann expands these journal sketches into larger works, employing automatic and rhythmic drawing techniques to create dynamic, energetic compositions. Each painting is an expression of what it felt like to be immersed in that place - capturing not just the visual elements but the essence and emotional resonance of the landscape.

Madeline Young, Still, 2026
Mixed media on board, 43x38cm framed
Madeline Young creates intuitive abstract paintings that respond to emotion, memory, and the shifting rhythms of the Australian landscape. Working with brushes, palette knives, rollers, and unconventional tools, she builds layered surfaces of texture, pattern, and gesture. Her dreamlike palettes - soft pinks, muted greens, earthy browns, and shifting blues - act as an emotional language, recording seasons, experiences, and states of being. Rather than depicting place, her work distills its presence, offering contemplative spaces where time, landscape, and feeling converge.
Madeline is an Australian abstract artist based in Orange, NSW, on Wiradjuri Country. She holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Newcastle (2009) and has exhibited in solo and group exhibitions across Australia. Since 2014, she has also been Curator and Director of The Corner Store Gallery, an independent space dedicated to supporting and showcasing emerging contemporary artists.

Pia Kuykhoven, Returning to Winter, 2026
Acrylic on poly cotton, 104x79cm framed in sustainable oak
Pia Kuykhoven is a contemporary Australian artist based in Adelaide, South Australia. Working full-time from her backyard studio, surrounded by a flourishing garden, she creates vibrant floral still life paintings that explore memory, home and our connection to the natural world.
Originally trained as a landscape designer, Pia's deep relationship with gardens traces back to childhood and continues to shape her creative practice today. Her paintings are rich with colour, texture and personal history, often featuring flowers from her garden alongside heirloom teacups, platters and collected vessels that act as carriers of story and connection.
Through intuitive layers of mark-making, Pia builds expressive paintings that mirror the rhythms of gardening - adding, refining and allowing each work to evolve over time. Bold, bright and highly tactile, her paintings celebrate the comfort, beauty and quiet drama of everyday life, inviting viewers to see them not only as artworks but as future heirlooms that hold memories for generations to come.

Samantha Mackie, Floor Plan Memory, 2026
Porcelain, 54h x 40w x 2d (set of eight), wall hung
Sam Mackie is a Sydney-based ceramic artist creating unglazed porcelain works from her studio in Avalon, on Sydney's Northern Beaches. Originally working with paper, she was drawn to the durability & permanence of ceramics & completed a Diploma of Ceramics in 2024.
Using delicate porcelain slabs built through hundreds of brushstrokes, Sam creates linear forms that reduce landscapes, structures & familiar objects to their most distilled form. Left unglazed & free of colour, the work is quiet - almost ghostly - with light moving through the fine porcelain to mark the slow cadence of passing time.
Her practice centres on memory, place & the significance of everyday objects: the house as an archetype of shelter & belonging, and objects as containers for memory. Can an object hold memory? Can making become an act of remembering? She often reflects on whether her fascination with houses stems from her father, a bricklayer, and the school holidays she spent watching him transform simple materials into enduring structures.

Natalie Lapardin, Lemon & Blossoms, 2026
Oil on panel, 34x44cm framed
Natalie Lapardin is a Sydney-based realist painter with a deep love for the beauty found in everyday life. Formally trained at the Julian Ashton Art School and with a background in academic study, she brings both technical rigour and genuine warmth to her practice. Her work centres on still life, a genre she approaches not as tradition for tradition's sake, but as an opportunity to slow down, look closely and find the extraordinary in the ordinary. Natalie's paintings are collected by people who are drawn to original Australian art that feels joyful, skilled and deeply human.
“Time and again I find myself drawn to the subject of fruit and flowers. These little beauties of nature, which we interact with as part of our everyday, are eternally inspiring. I love their potential for vivid colour and enjoy pushing the chromatic intensity. Working with a palette full of colour brings me great joy and I hope to convey that in my paintings.”

Phoebe Turner works in mental health and unwinds with clay. She talks about starting with a pinch pot, letting go of expectations and the hippo that has been with her since the beginning.
Pia Kuykhoven went from garden designer to full-time painter. She talks about how her paintings emerge from layers of colour, and why the work at the centre of Secret Garden means so much to her.
The Corner Store Gallery in Orange, NSW is celebrating 12 years. Gallery director Madeline Young shares the story behind the building, the family who built it with her, and the artists who've shaped it along the way.
Some of the artists I work with closely didn't come looking for a mentor, I found them first, in a group exhibition or an art prize entry. Here's how one-on-one mentoring at The Corner Store Gallery helps artists grow from that first small step to a solo exhibition and beyond.
