Upcoming Events

Life has been hectic lately filled with many Arty activities but I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Chan Dissanayake Workshop

My friend, Cass Gartner and I had organized a 5 day workshop with the fabulous world renowned Watercolour Artist Chan Dissanayake. The first three days were in Perth, studio painting then we moved to York for 2 days of plein air painting. The participants really appreciated the delicious lunch Cass and I provided at the studio workshop. It is like being on a relaxing Art retreat where you can totally immerse yourself in enhancing your painting skills. Chan proved to be a wonderful teacher with excellent knowledge and skills that he willingly shared.

Artist in Residence/ Narrogin

I was delighted to spend a week in Narrogin in April as Artist in Residence. I was born in Narrogin Hospital and grew up on a wheat and sheep farm at Dudinin. I felt very much at home and loved getting out and about each day to do some plein air painting. The space is set up beautifully so I am hoping to return in the future.

Upcoming Workshop

Watercolour Workshop

Hi Everyone,

Can you believe another year is passing us by. It has been a busy one for me on the artistic side and personally. I have been extremely lucky to experience two fabulous holidays. The first with the Watercolour Society to Japan then with my husband to Turkey, Greece and Albania. The older I get the more I realize that you have to take the opportunities when they are presented to you.

After conducting a hugely successful workshop at my home recently I have decided to conduct these on a regular basis. I will aim for one every four to six weeks throughout the year. You will find the flyer attached for my first 2024 workshop with all the information. This could be a fabulous idea for a Christmas present or a workshop to set you on an exciting creative path for 2024.

Please follow me on my Instagram and Facebook pages (Stephanie Boyle Art) where I am participating in a 30 day challenge of creating a painting every day for 30 days. All these paintings are for sale.

Thank you so much for following my artistic practice throughout 2023. I really do appreciate each and every one of you. I hope you have a wonderful Christmas and all the very best for 2024.


Cheers for now

I am taking part in a Challenge at the moment of painting a still life painting every day for 30 days. I can’t resist a challenge! These will be available for sale at a discounted price before Christmas. You can find them on my Instagram and Facebook pages. Stephanie Boyle Art. I will also be updating my website in the near future so please keep an eye out for the changes. I must admit these are long overdue!

Change of Plan

Hi Everyone,

I usually don’t like to bother you too often with unnecessary Blogs but here I am again.

Myra Staffa and I have hung our Exhibition at The Agency Gallery, 40 Bayview Terrace, Claremont.

We are delighted with how our artworks look on the high white walls with brilliant lighting. We are extremely lucky to be able to utilize this space but we do have to be mindful of the owners of The Agency Gallery. Of course their activities and plans must always take precedence.

Myra and I had planned an Opening for Sunday 15th October between 11am- 3pm.

Unfortunately this has had to be cancelled.

There will still be other opportunities to see our artwork at the gallery.

We are planning an Art Evening, 5pm-7pm Thursday 19th October. Myra and I will both be there and would love to see you. We will be at the Gallery on Sunday 29th, 11-1pm for a live painting session.

If you would like to meet at the gallery please email me stephanieboyleart14@gmail.com. Office hours are 9am-5pm but it may be wise to call ahead to confirm someone will be there. Keep an eye on my social media Instagram Stephanie Boyle Art for updates.

I received some good news that I had been awarded a Highly Commended award at the recent York Art and Craft Award.

I am delighted to say I will be a finalist in the City of Stirling Art Award. The Exhibition will be held 4th - 12th November with a great collection of 170 new artworks. Well worth a look.

This weekend will be the Watercolour Society Annual Awards Exhibition. I would love to invite you to the Opening Night. Thursday 12th October, 6.30 - 8.30pm. If you are unable to make the Opening the Exhibition runs all weekend.

Friday13th and Saturday 14th October 9am-5pm.

Sunday 15th October 9am-4pm.

I will be giving a demonstration on Friday afternoon from 1pm. Please come along if you are available.

Australia's Biggest Morning Tea

Wohoo! I just wanted to share some exciting news. We raised $2,000 for the Biggest Morning Tea Fundraising event. I had a wonderful group of ladies turn up and one very brave man. Everyone gave extremely generously and joined in the fun activities. The famous raffle where everyone wins a prize was a huge success once again.

Thank you so much to everyone that donated online who couldn’t make it on the day. Your generosity was outstanding. Thank you.

I dare not list everyone that helped by donating goods for the raffle or being a massive help on the day. I fear I may miss someone out. I do want to thank my husband Clive though. The master chutney chef and incredible helper. I couldn’t do it without him.

Next year I will do it all again and I would love for you to join me. It is such a worthy cause and such a joy to be able to support.

Cheers for now from Stephanie xo

Please bring along any small coins to donate. There will be chutneys and other goodies for sale.

Bring your cash and be prepared to splash it around! This is a fund raising event after all. It is a real pleasure and a joy to be able to donate to a cause that affects so many people’s lives.

Watercolour Weekend Fair

Hi Everyone,

Oh My Goodness. What a busy start to the year it has been. In March I travelled to Japan with a group of 8 Artists from the Watercolour Society of W.A. We had been invited to participate in an International Art Exhibition in Kobe. I gave a workshop while there along with the help of a translator which proved to be an interesting and rewarding exercise.

One of the highlights of our trip was a visit to the Holbein Art Factory. We now have more of an appreciation of the cost of a small tube of paint after seeing the rigorous manufacturing process. We were like kids in a Candy Store when we descended upon the Holbein Showroom. If only we didn’t have the restriction of space and weight in our suitcase!

My friend, Cass Gartner and I organized for Herman Pekel, a world famous Watercolour Artist to conduct watercolour workshops in W.A. We had two studio workshops in the city then travelled to the wheatbelt town of Beverley to have three fabulous days of plein air painting. We all had a wonderful time and learnt so much from watching Herman paint.

Cass and I plan to conduct similar workshops annually. Please keep an eye on this space for any information of upcoming events and exhibitions.

This Saturday and Sunday I will be in Fremantle at the Italian Club with some framed and lots of unframed paintings for sale. I would love to see you there. Please introduce yourself if we haven’t already met. See the attached Flyer for details.

Thank you once again for your ongoing support and interest in my Art practice.

Cheers for now

Art For Christmas Sale

Hi Everyone,

What a busy year it has been and once again it has flown by. Next year is already shaping up to be the year of travel with some exciting events on the agenda.

There comes a time when my studio seems to be bursting at the seams and I find it difficult to negotiate a path. It becomes harder to find things under the piles of Artwork. Time for a clean up!

I would love to invite you to my end of year Art for Christmas Sale. You will find a large range of Artworks from traditional Watercolours to large and small abstract Acrylic and Watercolour paintings. It is a great opportunity to visit my Studio and see the variety of paintings I have created. You know I can’t stick to one style or medium so there will be something for everyone.

Thank you once again for being so supportive of my Artistic endeavours. Looking forward to seeing you on 20th November where you may be able to find a totally original Christmas present or something for yourself.

Cheers for now

Solo Exhibition and Upcoming Workshop

I wanted to sincerely thank everyone who came to the Opening of my Solo Art Exhibition “Time Will Tell”.

After working solidly on this body of work for nearly two years I ended up with 51 paintings on display.

It was a wonderful night of celebration for me to see all my paintings displayed beautifully in a great space. Tresillian Arts Centre lends itself really well to my diverse range of Artworks. From traditional landscape paintings to big, bold abstracts.

I want to especially thank Myra Staffa, who gave the most beautiful speech to open my Exhibition. Myra also helped with the massive task of hanging all of my paintings. I can’t thank her enough. I started to blubber when I thanked my special husband and my beautiful family for always being there for me throughout my Artistic journey. I felt extremely grateful to everyone who came along and supported me.

If you missed out on Opening Night, never fear. The Exhibition runs until 24th June 2022 It is open business hours 9am-4pm Monday - Friday. Closed Saturday. I will be there Sunday 12th and Sunday 19th June 11am-2pm.
