The Photo & Artz Works Gallery


Culburra Beach NSW




Gallery owner and Director Noel Elliot established a photo and art gallery in February of 2006 in Culburra Beach, NSW. The gallery exhibits some of his own work, photography and art, and he also supports new and emerging artists.

A few weeks ago after meeting each other at a Redbubble lunch (organised by Rose Moxon), he invited me to exhibit some of my works, 2 of which now hang in his boutique style gallery.

This afternoon he called with some very exciting news, that my large work Beneath Blue Mountain Gums - A Contemporary Piece had been sold.

Many thanks to you Noel for giving me this wonderful opportunity to exhibit my work.
I am thrilled for us both and am delighted this piece, has made its way to the home it was meant to be in. It's the ultimate validation - you cannot put a price on this kind of satisfaction - it's awesome!

What a fantastic start to 2009!

Had better get some more paintings to you Noel and sincere apologies if i have caused any hearing impairment. (((hugs))) perugina

Brilliant PG!!! This resonates powerfully. A sine. There is the interwoven/interconnected theme again emerging here (viz. Garden God II). There are the universal themes of resonance, alignment, synchrony. The light itself is here 'orientated': directional, 'polarised'. In this work the orientability of light is more overt. This straight away amplifies and brings to the visual plane the covert alignments and resonances of Nature.

Attuning your artist's eye to 'intuitive knowing and seeing' is hyperaccelerating your art imo:) Already, within a few short days or weeks, metaphors within your art have metamorphosed: the rubber may hit the road, the bitumen; but here the rubber has weightlessly lifted off the tarmac, and wings of flight now carry you ... more of this!

let me be the first to congratulate you , my dear friend.
Well done! It is an innovate approach to the Australian gum tree and has always been a favourite of mine.

Hi Wayne, again I have delighted in your visit and giving generously of your time to offer your insights is much appreciated. I envy your expressiveness which shows strong mathematical foundations and an aptitude for seeing in nature these elements. An Escher – like quality which have these gums almost tessellate working as a unit but on closer inspection are very much individual is perhaps what is most striking about this piece I feel – in saying this I must stress it doesn’t mean I was totally satisfied with it as expressed in my ‘tome,’ :) but rather fearing a resemblance to …well let’s not go there…
You honour me by using my analogy re; “Life is a bitumen road…” and are always way too complimentary. (((blush)))
Yes…I am flying with excitement over the sale – I won’t advise the tower of my approach just yet…I’ll just soar a moment longer.
Papa Golf to Whiskey - copy that!

Sweetmango….My humble and sincerest apologies are now extended to you, how this comment has gone unanswered till now is bizarre!
Yes…I can be a funny girl in many ways – a laugh a minute.
My reaction was…..…um…..…well…… perhaps Noel is in a better position to answer that one – that is, if he can hear you asking the question. :D
