Wall hangings by Sharron Shalekoff

2011-12-14T20:45:00.000-08:00

Here's what Sharron says about her work:
"The colour produced by my hand-dyeing is the central inspiration behind my current work, along with a passion for the natural world and its preservation. The combination of fabric, colour and stitch together with a subject close to my heart has proved irresistible."

New stock still arriving - more soon

Hope to see you at my refurbished gallery soon

2011-10-28T21:06:00.000-07:00

Finally the gallery refurbishment is complete, with a great new walkway, no more gravel finding it's way onto our beautiful rugs and kelims! And more wheelchair/pram friendly as well.

Here are a few images of current works in stock to enjoy.

Welcome to my 'new' gallery

2011-09-14T02:14:00.000-07:00

Apart from the landscaping, the work is finished - at last. Hope to see you all soon!

Gallery refurbishment almost completed

The walkway from car park looks and is is great. Now to resurrect the garden. Hopefully the light grey film of concrete dust that has settled over most of it will wash off with time.

Further progress - it's exiting!

2011-07-16T01:14:00.000-07:00

Nearly done now. Concrete aggregate from car park to entrance is scheduled for next week

Tiles en masse

2011-04-12T05:13:00.001-07:00

After many years painting my tiles, I remain fascinated by the myriad of colour combinations possible repeating the same three patterns.

Before the tile painting began, I made pots, mostly domestic ware, as well as experimenting with techniques such as pit and saggar fired pots. Here are some close-up images from sections of my favourite pieces. A few were converted into large framed prints. I hope to make more prints from them soon.

Storm damage

2010-09-10T04:06:00.000-07:00

The recent storm caused two huge trees to come down in our bush gully.

The good news is that recent rains have created plentiful food for the bush birds. Their numbers are increasing now. Still nowhere near as many as in years past, but hopefully the numbers will continue to pick up.

The Bird Lady, by local sculptor Paul McIntyre, stands at the

entrance to my gallery.
Several of his fish sculptures are also shown here. Paul uses re-cycled
materials where possible, incorporating semi-precious stones into his works.
His sculptures are made for both indoor and outdoor conditions.

Trivets

2010-05-23T22:54:00.000-07:00

Sometimes visitors to the gallery who like my tiles don't have a current use for them.

Trivets, tiled tables, framed tile prints and framed tiles are also available.

Here are three of the trivets.

Images from around the gallery

2010-05-23T22:14:00.000-07:00

My gallery was established eighteen years ago. As well as the work shown here, one of the attractions over the years has been the presence of so many species of native bush birds. About two years ago, their numbers dropped, so much so that I thought they were gone for ever.

How wrong I was. Lately they have begun to re-appear. Most species have come back, not in the same numbers as before, but hopefully, if we keep getting rain their numbers will again increase.

I am fascinated by the engineering the ants employ as they construct their nests. Day after day their nests are built. When the rain washes their work away, they start again, and again.

This is my logo tile

2010-05-16T01:28:00.001-07:00

This is the tile that appears on all my printed material and as well, on the gallery road sign. It remains one of my most popular tiles.

Welcome to my blog

2010-05-08T23:52:00.000-07:00

My gallery is located at Red Hill on the Mornington Peninsula in Victoria, Australia.

I was a potter for many years prior to developing my current range of hand painted tiles.

The tile designs are based on three repeating patterns, created fundamentally with dots. When all goes well it is like a meditation, and is frequently perceived as such, especially when the tiles are viewed en masse. The work is purely decorative, creating a timeless patterning reminiscent of Persian rugs. Tiles are sold individually, and may be ordered to meet your specific needs - in any colours for use anywhere.
