About

The Collective

Rock & Paper Collective was founded by three artists from different disciplines – painting, ceramics and photography – brought together by a shared belief in creativity, collaboration, and community.

As practising artists, we understand the realities of making, exhibiting, marketing, and sustaining creative work. The creative was created as a way to share resources, support one another, and build opportunities not only for ourselves, but for other artists too. 

We each arrived here after substantial previous careers, bringing experience from education, healthcare, housing, business, and community-building into our creative lives.
