I love all sorts of art, music and creativity, and am greatly inspired by the cheerful honesty of folk art, having picked this style up along the way when I was a young mother. I am a multimedia artist who likes trying new and exciting mediums and projects, I enjoy the actual learning, and love breaking the rules. I work with all kinds of materials including ceramics, pottery, china painting, wood burning, print making, silk dying, tie dye, stained glass and anything else I can get my hands on.This is true creativity. My hubby and I have created a home that is full of art, with a quirky garden, a piano in the front yard, a mosaic letterbox, and many fun and colourful things surrounding us.

Working in oils, he made his first picture for his grandmother at 6 years of age. He continued to paint, on and off over the years when he had time, mostly for relaxation.
Since his retirement he has focussed more and more on his art, developing a more abstract style and drawing on his love of the Australian landscape for inspiration.

Artist Statement

I am a full-time wildlife artist who loves the challenge of painting and drawing feathers and fur. My latest collection is an exploration of colour and form. I am currently experimenting with combining watercolour and scratchboard to achieve greater detail in my work.

I also like to play with other mediums, like resin, polymer clay, and cement, in my spare time. I particularly love to upcycle and repurpose items to give them a new look. During the open studios, you can see some of the projects I have been creating.

Behzad Alipour was born in Iranian in 1986 and has lived in Western Australia since 2007.

Behzad studied the traditional style of the old masters at the Florence Academy of Art in Italy and Sweden during the summers of 2013 and 2016. He attained Graduate Certificate in Design and Art in 2017 from Curtin University in WA.

Behzad’s art is very personal. It often involves themes that some may find uncomfortable. It is a form of exploration of existential anxieties and enquiries towards transience and memory.

Lately, Behzad has been exploring the relationship between individuals and their autobiographical objects, particularly those personal effects that they have held close since childhood. 
He believes a specific object can hold a link to memories to a particular time, place and personal experiences.

Behzad’s research reaches beyond just relating to childhood memories but also the interconnection of memory with feelings related to existential anxieties and personal identity.

Behzad is based in his Perth studio, and he currently conducts art workshops and painting demonstrations.

My early art influence includes being fascinated by pictures in books about our “insect and bug world”. I had several story books about little creatures that live in our garden – spiders, beetles, ants and butterflies making homes in mushrooms, and having conversations with one another. It was a lovely fantasy world to live in. 

​

I changed jobs throughout the following years, but I was always studying art in one form or another in the evenings, on weekends, and during holidays. I started painting with oil paints, then learned pottery, and finally in 1988 I discovered the wonderful world of watercolour! With this new medium I painted landscapes, animals, people and still life.

​

I began teaching watercolour classes in 1995 and have been teaching ever since. It’s such a rewarding experience, showing students what I know and watching them develop their own skills.

In 2014 I re-connected with my fascination for the “little world” around me, especially spiders. I started to put small spiders in my paintings for people to find. Then I moved on to just painting spiders on their own. I discovered that there are more arachnids in the world than just redback and tarantulas! There are orb spiders, jumping spiders, crab spiders, peacock spiders, and … the list goes on. They each have their own personalities, just like humans, and they each live differently, eat differently and even mate differently! I love learning about them and I’m enjoying the spider community I’ve connected with on social media too.

Since emigrating to Australia over 11 years ago I have been lucky enough to work with many artists and have been working full-time in my own arts practice since 2017. My work has evolved since leaving art college in 1995 and my bright abstract pieces are a reflection of my life, personality and the world in which I live. I use both acrylic and oils paints and I love to add final touches with chalk or oil pastels. My work is a multi-layered movement of colour and I love to create large impactful feature pieces.

I am a visual artist making jewellery that expresses my reverie and deep connection with the natural world. I am interested in physical places and their emotional and spiritual relationship to people. As such I am particularly focused on a certain little pocket of the world where I grew up, the Western Australian bush, east of Perth. I start my creative process exploring and observing. Happily travelling north or south, walking places looking with intent, taking visual notes with my camera, capturing the
delicate fleeting wonder in the ever evolving and shifting landscape.

I come from a central Wheatbelt town called Quairading and in my class at school, I was known as the class artist which suited me because I liked the attention and it took the emphasis off the other subjects such as spelling.

After I left School I painted on and off as time and circumstances allowed. Then I used watercolor in painting books and I used a lot of spit because I found it thickened up the paint. 

I had long periods in between the times I painted. I went from 24 to about 48 without painting anything at all and again from 50 to 67 without lifting a paintbrush.

I started painting seriously at Ellenbrook Art Group with a great teacher named Roy Davies who got me started again and I find I am going from strength to strength since then. 

I am now retired and my choice of medium is acrylic, (no spit required), on canvas. I mainly concentrate on 'The Stockman's Series' in my 'home studio' where it is displayed. I have been credited with this style of art being unique and not been seen before. On occasion, I paint other things like the tiger painting which I recently finished which is recommended to differently worth taking a look at.

​

My practice is about reclaiming objects so it becomes very eclectric, canvases, paint, objects, and a reconnection with clay. I am considering the recycling of the world around me, and through art. I tend to record a form of self-portrait narrative within my work, and the act of retelling. Essentially is all about the “re’s” of our world today, I am hoping others will see this and consider their own “re’s”, when viewing my work.
