the mood of a moment. He was inspired to become a wateredourist in 1973. This began

Title Within Kalamina Gorge

Artist Shirley Fisher

Medium Pastel


Art was always her favourite subject throughout Shirley Fisher's formative years,

but it wasn't until she decided to attend Perth Technical College to study for a

Diploma of Art and Design in 1990 that Shirley became serious about a career

in art.

Joining the W.A. Pastel Society in 1996 led to her preference in the pastel

medium and as she is no longer a member she must acknowledge that in the

ten years she was, the experience was invaluable and pivotal to her

development as a professional artist.

While most of her work is executed in pastel, Shirley also works in oils and acrylics.

The common thread of the images is the use of her vibrant, colourful palette.

Title Four winged mallee - Eucalpytus Tetraptera

Artist Delma White

Medium Acrylic on canvas


Born in Albany and raised in Mt Barker, Delma White was always had an

interest in drawing and studied for a Diploma in Art in 1987.

Delma works in pastels and oils. Her pastel drawings mainly represent life in

and around the shearing sheds and farms where she spent a lot of her

childhood. She found the application of pastel very direct and spontaneous.

The ability to apply colour directly to the surface gives freedom and

expression to the works. Her oil paintings are more studied and considered

and Delma was able to concentrate on the effects of light on shape and

form. The Still Life is her main subject. She also has a great interest in West

Australian flora, the Sturt Pea being a favourite. Delma also includes some

country landscapes in her paintings.
