This will be Bettina's second artist residency with Quark, who works as a visual artist and designer in Australia.

Approximately 7 years ago she chose to live and work by the Pacific and migrated to Australia, where she attained her Advanced Diploma of Fine Arts. In early 2007 Bettina had her first encounters with Antarctica – accompanying two expedition cruises to the peninsula. Sketches and paintings taken “en plein-air” led to a series of icescapes in oil on board that are highlighting space and shapes of this pristine environment.

Being raised on a farm and subsequently educated as a geologist, the landscape and its various interpretations (including the political battleground) can’t help but inform Colin’s work. In 1998 Colin took up painting as a watercolourist and in 2003 he enrolled in the Melbourne CAE Diploma of Visual Art which was completed in 2005 with high distinctions in drawing, print making and painting. In October 2005 he took up a full-time studio within Appleton Street Studios, Richmond, Victoria.
