Josie Robinson – Porcelain

A lifelong educator and internationally respected porcelain artist, Josie has spent decades teaching and sharing her craft in Australia and around the world. Renowned for her versatility, her work spans traditional and contemporary styles—from roses and hydrangeas to birds, portraits, fruit, and even the occasional lobster—painted on both porcelain and glass. Her influence extends beyond the studio: she developed and sold her own named brushes and paints globally, served as the second Australasian Chairman of IPAT, sat on the IPAT USA board for seven years, and edited The Australian Porcelain Decorator. A generous mentor, she has long championed fellow artists and brought leading international teachers to Australia, enriching the local porcelain art community.

Margaret (Faulks) Lawson – Porcelain

Margaret is an accomplished and well-known porcelain artist living in Adelaide. She began painting in 1968 while a housewife and mother raising a family. She continued painting even whilst later working as a breast cancer surgery nurse at Flinders Medical Centre.

She is a member of APAT (Australian Porcelain Art Teachers) and SACPA (South Australian China Painters Association, where she has served as President and Secretary. Over the past fifty-eight years, she has been a teacher of porcelain fine art, a demonstrator and an exhibitor, having been an exhibitor with the Campbelltown Art Show since its inception.

Much of her work includes Australian wildflowers, fauna and our state's Sturt’s desert pea. Her work has been exhibited in all Australian states and territories, New Zealand and the United States, which has won her numerous awards and certificates. Her porcelain pieces can also be found in art publications, museums and private collections internationally. Together with her painting china, she also paints on tiles, creates porcelain art jewellery, and embroiders. She hopes that all porcelain artists will continue to paint and explore new methods and mediums.

Robin Hicks - Watercolour

Robin’s experience as an artist has been varied. She works in watercolours, oils, pastel, acrylics and mixed media, and over the last few years has taught classes, led workshops, and given demonstrations in both watercolours and acrylics. She also tutors students in how to draw and paint a portrait.

With a deep passion for nature, she finds endless inspiration in painting the world around her. She enjoys experimenting with different styles and has recently begun exploring a more abstract approach to allow greater expression of feeling.

She has always believed that art is not only meant to be seen, but to be felt — to move us, to shift our perspective, or to invite us beyond our usual space. Any style can achieve this, but it’s that elusive 'something extra' that creates a true emotional response in the viewer.

Alan Louis Ramachandran - Watercolour

Alan Ramachandran is a multi-award-winning artist in the medium of watercolour.

Since migrating to Adelaide in 2007, he has won about 15 top awards and 60 combined awards. He has had 5 solo exhibitions and 4 group exhibitions.
