Kelly Skinner
I moved to Newstead in 1989, in the house in the main street next door to what is now Dig. My passions are music and storytelling. I am now retired from paid work but keep busy as Festival Director of Newstead Live Music Festival; creating web sites for community groups; writing anecdotes and recording songs for my own web site; and acting as a funeral celebrant within our community.

Julie Patey
Inspired by texture and colour Julie uses the printmaking process with mixed media to create deeply textured and layered works.
​
Her work is related directly to nature and the landscape. Her concerns are addressing the spirit of the land, colours of the seasons, and the textures reflected in the landscape
​
Julie’s studio looks across Lake Cairn Curran, which is a constant inspiration to her.
A practicing artist and art teacher for thirty years, she has also managed an exhibiting career, with exhibitions in Victoria, NSW and Qld, along with teaching and mentoring younger artists.
