Patti Emmilia Art
Patti Emmilia Art, Perth. Western Australia
@pattiemmiliaart
Hi, my name is Patti, and I’m a self taught contemporary abstract artist based in Perth, Western Australia.
I’m also a mum in a family of six, raising four beautiful little humans so life is wonderfully full—and often a little wild. Creativity has been part of me for as long as I can remember, and painting has become more than a passion; it’s my therapy. When my days are hectic and my mind is racing, art is where everything slows down. It invites me to pause, breathe, and disappear into colour, texture, and quiet focus until the outside world softens.

Suzanne Barrett
Suzanne Barrett, Brisbane, QLD
@suzannebarrett_art
I am a contemporary coastal artist based in Brisbane, QLD. My work explores how human experience is shaped by the natural environment and the quiet narratives found in between. Originally trained as an interdisciplinary artist, with a Bachelor of Fine Art, I creates seascapes that move beyond representation. Each work becomes a narrative: an exploration of memory, place, and the subtle conversations between water, sky, and shoreline
Michael Bertoli
Michael Bertoli, Melbourne, VIC
@mike.bertoli.752
Michael Bertoli is a Melbourne-based digital abstract artist whose practice explores the emotional and perceptual possibilities of color, form, and digital technology. Rooted in a background in graphic design, his work champions the expressive freedom of the digital medium through intricate layering, unrestricted palettes, and dynamic compositions. Working primarily in Photoshop, Bertoli manipulates shapes, textures, and visual disturbances—such as glitch aesthetics and fractal structures—to create immersive non-representational artworks that challenge the boundaries of perception.
