<br />
STAY SAFE will feature works from 15 emerging and established Australian artists, centered around the theme of animals. All pieces in the exhibition will be for sale, and for the second year running, the money raised will be donated to Western Australian charity SAFE.<br />
<br />
Since being founded by Sue Hedley in 2003, SAFE (Saving Animals From Euthanasia) has been committed to stopping the euthanasia of animals for the reason of them having no place to stay. The program began in the Pilbara and has spread throughout Western Australia, where they find foster care and permanent homes for rescued animals.<br />
<br />
STAY SAFE 2015 will run from 15 August to 13 September 2015, with an opening night party from 6:30-8:30pm on Friday 14 August with drinks courtesy of <a href="http://gageroads.com.au/" target="_blank">Gage Roads Brewing Co</a> and <a href="http://memorabledrinks.com.au/brands/sipsmith-independent-spirits/" target="_blank">Sipsmith Gin</a>.<br />
<br />
The exciting line-up of artists for the 2015 exhibition are:<br />
SEAN MORRIS<br />
TED POWELL <br />
GEMMA JONES<br />
AMOK ISLAND<br />
MADDY YOUNG<br />
MARTIN E WILLS<br />
ESTHER SANDLER<br />
BRENTON SEE<br />
ANNA DUNNILL<br />
ELIZABETH MARRUFFO<br />
LEONIE BRIALEY<br />
CHIARA HUNWICK<br />

<br />
The inaugural STAY SAFE exhibition ran from 1-31 July 2014 at Ruck Rover General Store in Northbridge, as part of the Perth Winter Arts Season, and was a great success and loads of fun for those that participated. So much so that Kate-Anna and Ruck Rover co-owner Claire Trolio decided that they should make it an annual exhibition. Earlier this year, Kate-Anna lost her battle with cancer. Claire, along with artist Sean Morris, a close friend of Kate's, and with the blessing of the Williams family, have got together to present STAY SAFE 2015. Please come along and help us to do justice to this event.<br />

Something of a rogue hand embroiderer, Enid does not follow any traditional rules, use
embroidery floss or even know the proper names of embroidery stitches! What results are organic and super creative designs that use
the needle and thread more like a pen to illustrate rather than
technically embroider.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
Her works tend to favour the natural world, stitching birds, animals, fungus and trees as well as unusual subject
matter such as anatomy and insects.<br />

Ruck Rover is very excited to host Sarmarie's second Mini Art Mart exhibition.<br />

Fans may remember Sarmarie's last collection, an abstract cacophony of colours and shapes, or her exquisite coasters and iceblocks still featured instore (this time, she's also made some cushions!)<br />

Mellopoly is an illustrator that hails from right here in Perth.<br />
<br />
Her style comes from observation and introspection. She draws (ha! pun!) her inspiration from nature and creative thinkers, and her whimsical dreamscapes convey a sense of hope and joy.<br />

Each piece in this exhibition has been hand illustrated with archival ink
on watercolour paper, with minimal digital retouching. All pieces start as a
simple pencil sketch and evolve organically from there. The illustrations are
available as digital prints in both A3 and A4 size. </div>

<br />
Brendan is renowned for creating works from unique and unusual materials. Check out some of the intricate combinations he's created for us before <a href="http://miniartmart.blogspot.com.au/2012/11/brendan-brown.html">here</a>!<br />
<br />
This time Brendan's designed and crafted four works in watercolour painted onto coffee-stained paper adhered to foam board.<br />
<br />
The designs themselves are inspired by vintage sailor tattoos, but with twist. Traditional ink designs for sea-faring fellas depict optimistic symbols of luck, of love and dreams of being 'homeward bound'. In his exhibition, Brendan plays with these icons and sneaks in less optimistic notes of loneliness, tricky sea creatures and troubled waters. All within the pallet and character of vintage nautical ink.<br />
<br />
They are vividly colourful, beautiful works.<br />
<br />
Each watercolour is available for purchase at $60.<br />
<br />
Exhibition runs until November 30.<br />

<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">Kate Stevens loves clay, from the first time she touched it she felt compelled to create with it. Kate makes pieces that aren’t necessarily what you’d expect to find in clay
– a lot of her pieces have a bit of whimsy or melancholy. She also likes to be
playful with traditional pottery ideas. She uses traditional clay transfers in
unusual ways, a generic pattern seen a hundred times on mass-produced ceramic
bowls will pop up on her sculptures as the pattern on the outfit of a melancholy
mouse or a the costume of the lesser-known superhero ‘Catman’. Kate is not a big
planner or sketcher; she often has the spark of an idea, and with that in mind
starts working and lets the clay take her where it wants to.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="color: black; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%;">Kate draws inspiration from all over; commissions are obviously her
interpretation of other people’s thoughts – be they vague or detailed. Of course
they’re always delivered with a distinctly ceramic snippets twist! Some of her
work is functional, but she particularly likes working on small sculptures; little
pieces that can sit anywhere or be popped in unexpected places to catch the eye. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="color: black; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%;">Very rarely does Kate make a similar piece twice and she definitely doesn’t mass-reproduce; she
wants her art to be inimitable. She feels her love of clay should never be a
chore – what she makes comes from the heart and mind, flows out of her hands and into
the clay, and when a piece gets passed on, that’s a little snippet of her going
to someone else. She is in love with sculpting in clay and wants to share this
love with the world! Kate's aim is to make affordable art pieces that enchant and
enliven the imagination of the recipient.</span></span></div>

Emiko likes a lot of things, but mostly she likes to take
photographs. She is drawn to otherworldly landscapes and likes to capture the
little details of the world around her. Emiko loves that moments in time may be

fragment of time is preserved forever. </div>

St. Valentine is a Perth based artist and writer who has a hard time thinking
about much except what goes on inside her heart (which is a lot). She recently
left Paper Mountain studios, where she based herself for 2 years, and now works
downstairs in a rundown, 1970s, brown brick house, surrounded by her pets and
the memories she hoards.</span></div>

A third year Fine Art student at Curtin University, Josh's watercolour-and-ink prints are inspired by the back pages of Vogue Italia, and photos from the backstage of Paris's exclusive runways. With undertones of surrealism expressed through neon colours, Josh's fashion inspired sketches (featuring decadent headpieces) will cheer up the grey winter months.<br />

Sarmarie believes that you should 'use your hands, enjoy the process, live life, eat well, be strong and use loads of colour', a philosophy that weaves its way into her bold, layered art.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhc2r8xs2EkOghcb48TfVei03A5kwjQV012WkVnQxwVr4INfYtHYACQz9Gmyochoff8zre36MKldF4GQ85UqmcBf73TH1a7AH1zE6nIrBK25Ns9Kj1gp1LwDiDb_jf0KBs5HETz-JM3n5U/s1600/Sarmarie+5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhc2r8xs2EkOghcb48TfVei03A5kwjQV012WkVnQxwVr4INfYtHYACQz9Gmyochoff8zre36MKldF4GQ85UqmcBf73TH1a7AH1zE6nIrBK25Ns9Kj1gp1LwDiDb_jf0KBs5HETz-JM3n5U/s1600/Sarmarie+5.jpg" height="320" width="316" /></a></div>
<br />
Inspired by her regional home, Sarmarie's vivid abstract pieces are
influenced by the 'wild and uncontrollable' temperament of the natural
world. She enjoys pushing her art beyond name and form, inviting the viewer to interpret her work 'purely through feeling'. A style developed from her recent 'exploration series', Sarmarie's pieces invite the viewer to share in her artistic process, creating a spontaneous rhythm with rich, striking colours.<br />

She enjoys wearing cute aprons while printing but also delights in the magical, process-driven aspect of printing: mixing the perfect ink colour, rounding the corners of every plate, and meticulously wiping with yellowpages.<br />

Alina is in her final year of art school at Curtin University and tries her best to make work that makes her and other people happy. She also loves flowers, people who smell nice, kittens, floral patterns, hand-made things, small children, and long cuddles.<br />
<br />
All of Alina's prints are handmade, from oil-based ink, paper, and an etching press. The Mipsy and Pixie prints (the sweet ones of the cats dancing) are made by collagraph etching, with some hand-painted watercolour editions.<br />
<br />
These prints aren't part of a limited edition run exactly, but are 'U/S' (Unique State) - which means they're printed uniquely, and coloured differently each time. This also means Alina can make custom colour and floral backgrounds! <br />

Using found objects as her canvas, Hayley illustrates imaginative new
worlds with her whimsical characters, exploring the childlike escapism
into fantasy and the process of opening up one’s mind to impossible
realities.<br />

Hayley has established herself as an artist to watch. Having moved to
Australia from the UK in 2009 with exhibitions in London and New York
under her belt, she has been in demand of late.<br />
With a history in scientific and natural history illustration,
Hayley’s paintings display a technical approach that is mixed with
nostalgia and humour. Yet at the same time, darker undertones are
present in her pieces, reflecting a fear of the unknown.<br />

<br />
Brendan D Brown is a Perth born, Melbourne based, part time artist. <br />
<br />
The works which are on display here are one-off scraperboard originals. The boards are manufactured in the UK through a process of coating thick card in a thin layer of China clay. The clay is then stained solid black with India Ink, which Brendan painstakingly scratches away at with a rusty, pointy nail to reveal, in white, the clay beneath. This takes f****ing ages. Sometimes, while making these pieces, Brendan's hand cramped up so badly that it took two cups of tea before his fingers could be fully straightened. Oh the humanity!<br />
<br />
This is Brendan's second exhibition at Ruck Rover in as many years, something he is very proud of.<br />

Lani's earlier work has been dominated by pastels and watercolours, but her latest collection has been strongly influenced by her completed degree, hence it is solely digital.<br />
<br />
<i>Guardians</i> is a collection inspired by the sweet and innocent relationships between children and animals. It is nostalgic, sweet and whimsical.<br />
<br />
Exhibition runs through October 2012.<br />

space in Northbridge sees local artist Sean Nicholls' work on display
for the entire month of September.<br />
<br />
Nicholls' traditional mediums
of working are with drawing and Photoshop, however it was his decision
to take a break from university which led to this collection of
experiments with paints. Taking time away from university meant he no
longer had access to Photoshop, and what results is a detailed
collection of one off drawings and paintings. Monochromatic detail is
mixed with bold colours to create beautiful and striking works.<br />
<br />
When not doing art or working, Sean Nicholls satisfies his obsession with graphic novels, whilst aspiring to become a graphic novel artist.<br />
<br />
All original works are available for purchase at $200. Each are framed.<br />

June 1 - 30 2012<br />
<br />
Sarah Louise is a creative homebody. Believing firmly that home is wherever your heart is, Sarah’s philosophy centres around homewares that have warmth, character and a comforting heart-made quality. When Sarah isn’t baking, fiddling about in her pretty garden or writing songs she can oft be found crafting a little something to make herself or someone she loves smile.<br />

Sarah works with rare and beautiful fabrics, felt, and ribbon to design unique pieces. Sometimes she knits and draws but she isn’t very good at it.
Each piece in this exhibition is one of a kind, and will not be recreated.<br />

She settled here for quite some time, but lately she's been feeling the pull of the Continent. Along with her husband Jarrod (a Perth native), Lisa is making the move across the world once more and will head off to Europe later this year. Though they vow to return before too long, this is the last exhibition that we'll see of Lisa's <a href="http://shop.ruckrover.com.au/catalogsearch/result/?q=lisa+max&x=0&y=0">colourful character art</a> on Australian shores for a little while.<br /><br />The <a href="http://shop.ruckrover.com.au/catalogsearch/result/?q=lisa+max&x=0&y=0">characters</a> of Lisa Max are filled with wonder and excitement. This year they reside on a single item, a used surfboard, where four of loveable chaps have climbed atop one another creating a tower of delight.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgU_Gt8AnA-yRQ-5sooi6QpiSZtE3G_WB9YX7dXodd45R7CdbSDzBtwtyw-NfxXJ6nZC-Fr9JWN6l31aeQEizxXFWX459Bx2E1XkIm_-jn01ji4galnsfhLpStjDdMGbJ8K-grF0i_lNL4/s1600/photo.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgU_Gt8AnA-yRQ-5sooi6QpiSZtE3G_WB9YX7dXodd45R7CdbSDzBtwtyw-NfxXJ6nZC-Fr9JWN6l31aeQEizxXFWX459Bx2E1XkIm_-jn01ji4galnsfhLpStjDdMGbJ8K-grF0i_lNL4/s400/photo.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5717832617418721874" border="0" /></a><br />Ruck Rover also sells Lisa Max' brilliant <a href="http://shop.ruckrover.com.au/lisa-max-booze-brothers-twin-pack.html">Booze Brothers</a> - a set of two stubby holders decorated in her signature style - as well as irresistible, <a href="http://shop.ruckrover.com.au/catalogsearch/result/?q=lisa+max+cushion&x=0&y=0">illustrated cushions</a>.Ruck Rover General Storehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03985700281914418890noreply@blogger.com0
