About the Tutors.

Daniel Butterworth

Doug Moran and Archibald Prize finalist, Daniel Butterworth is an established artist specialising in portraiture – frequently using self portraits to express social, political and personal views.

Having started his working life as a sign-writer, Dan later completed a Bachelor of Fine Arts at Latrobe University and has been a practising artist for more than 20 years. Working from his studio in Kyneton, Victoria, Dan has most recently been producing large scale self portraits, using oil on paper.

With numerous solo and group exhibitions to his name, along with selection as a finalist in a large number of high profile portrait prizes, Daniel is now in demand as a guest artist and teacher in Australia.

David Hinchliffe

David has had more than 60 solo exhibitions over the last 40 years, including paintings, sculpture and photographs in locations around the world.

David has travelled and painted widely in the United States and UK and is represented extensively in collections both in Australia and overseas.  While his work is principally oils on canvas or linen, he has also produced many gouache works and sculpture as well as holding two exhibitions of his photographs.  His style has been described as "contemporary impressionism".

"My recent work deals with the urban environment in its many forms in cities around the world as well as an abiding affinity with the Australian landscape. It is a response to light. I like the movement of light across a surface — whether it’s a valley, a river, a street or the human form.

I particularly enjoy the shapes, the noise and the shadows of city landscapes – the drama of lower East Side in New York, the reflections in the canals of Venice, the romance of Paris streets, the quirky laneways of Melbourne, the crowded pedestrian footpaths of Brisbane city, or the tree-lined streets near my home and studio.
