ARTISTS OF THE MONTH
February
SUSAN ALEXANDER
Susan Alexander is a local Kiama painter who has been drawn to art for her entire life. In her final year of highschool she was awarded with the ‘Art Prize’, which encouraged her to carry on with her talents. She went on to complete a Bachelor of Education majoring in Art and has been continuing on with her love for art ever since.
After a 43 year teaching career in 2017, Susan moved to Kiama to focus solely on her passion. She joined the Kiama Art Society and enrolled in a few classes under the guidance of other artists to immerse herself back into the art world.
During this time, Susan also found a gap in the market for art supplies, so she decided to start her own art supply business! This is now known as Lazy Susan Art Supplies, which can he found in store at The Collective Beat Kiama. Susan loves to experiment with the products she sells in her shop and is always happy to lend a hand and share her knowledge with anyone who wants to learn.
Her gorgeous range of paintings are available for the month of February only in store at The Collective Beat Kiama.

JORDAN ROBINS
Jordan Robins is an international award winning, self-taught ocean wildlife and ocean art photographer based in Jervis Bay, NSW. Holding a special place in his heart, Jordan is lucky enough to call this beautiful coastal region of southern NSW his home.
Jordan is recognised for his “Over/Under” photography – a style of underwater photography which captures both above and below the water in one image. This technique brilliantly combines the familiar terrestrial world with alien marine worlds.
Through his unique images, Jordan captures breathtaking scenes which express a deep respect for the ocean and its inhabitants. Jordan’s unique work has been recognised internationally having his work published by Australian Geographic magazine and online by National Geographic.
We are ecstatic to feature Jordan as our artist of the month. In store you will find frames, prints and his stunning best seller photos calendar.
