| Your Personal Biography |
Jean & June were both Born in England and emigrated to Perth, Australia in October 1982.
They became Australian citizens in the late 90’s and moved to Mandurah in 2001, where at long last they could continue with their love of Art.
Virtually self taught artists, they both received their certificate 3 in Art & Technology in 2004. Previously gaining Oxford University G.C.E. in Art & C.S.E. in Art.
Over the years they have developed and perfected their skills in mixed media, currently creating paintings and murals in glass.
Due to the fact that ready made glass is limited in colour and effects, they developed their own techniques of colouring glass, enabling them to create a totally unique art form, emphasising colour pattern designs and tonal values.
Cutting different shapes and sizes to build a picture with colour and shading, which resembles brush strokes, developing a painting technique in a totally different style, their invention has created a huge interest in their work.
The sisters really enjoy breaking new ground and finding wider scopes and challenges for their designs, recently incorporating metal and other media into their art work has been a huge success.
Appearing in their own Gallery Watch T.V. programmes twice Solo Exhibitions Lucid Images and Windows of the soul which was aired on Foxtel they are in great demand. |
