Open EOIs:

Merkurius — Nature Creationist
Merkurius creates reflective artworks inspired by nature, wildlife, astronomy and stillness. Through acrylic painting across canvas, wood and stone, his work encourages pause, curiosity and connection with the natural world.

Based in Adelaide, Erykah creates bold, colourful abstract works inspired by emotion, individuality and her African-American & Greek heritage. Her pieces invite viewers into expressive worlds filled with character, symbolism and perspective.
