I believe being creative in life brings out your childlike inspirations, so you can be the best version of yourself and find joy in everyday life.

Maria Klingner – Flux Fusion
I am a trade trained jeweller and my work reflects the relationships between jewellery and the human form and it investigates the dynamic connection between adornment, creative expression, daily rituals and embedded memory. The objects are to be worn and enjoyed, uniting the maker, the wearer and the viewer. I offer workshops at my home studio for up to 6 participants and have run workshops in remote locations teaching the basics of jewellery making. Commissions are always welcome and I am passionate about recycling your old items into new wearable pieces that still hold all the emotional and sentimental meaning to the owner.
Marie Salinger
Marie has been practicing as a full time visual artist since 2018 following a long career as an art educator having studied at Melbourne State College majoring in painting and ceramics. Marie works in a wide range of visual media including painting, photography, drawing, mixed media, printmaking, and sculpture. Her art practice is deeply contemplative, allowing space and time to investigate the natural world with a keen interest in what lies hidden or out of sight such as the organic marks created by scribbly gum moths under the bark of gum trees. Working intuitively she responds to the ebb and flow of life deeply influenced by the Beechworth Gorge, Stanley Forest and the diverse and historic gardens at Mayday Hills where her art studio is situated. Marie’s work echoes the organic qualities of nature and explores the notion of transience, liminal spaces and the interconnectedness of all life forms. Many of her artworks incorporate layers of collaged mono prints overlaid with ink and textural areas of paint inviting the viewer to be still and to contemplate what might be just below the surface. Marie’s work has been exhibited in Darwin, Melbourne and Beechworth and her upcoming solo exhibition Threshold will be held at the Murray Art Museum Albury MAMA from the 5th April 2024 until 26th May 2024.

Mell Millgate – Starfish Marketing
Copy writing and/or creating content can be overwhelming and frustrating. It's time consuming.
You have to come up with content that will reach, connect, and engage people and deliver value, while at the same time supporting your goals.
Ideally, you would think that you and/or your team are the best people to craft your content because…
– you know your clients and who your target market is
– you know all the benefits your products or services offer
– you know your stuff – in fact you're AWESOME at what you do
Getting all your knowledge out of your head into a strategic content plan and then creating that content is hard. Especially when you and your team have other things to focus on.
This is where I come in.
It’s my job to pull all that information out of your head AND to work with you to craft content for you, so that it delivers value AND supports your goals.
