Title Within Kalamina Gorge
Artist Shirley Fisher
Medium Pastel
Dimensions 57.0x71.0cm
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
Dimensions 40.1x50.3cm
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.
