A joint show of oil paintings and drawings by Philip Ricketson and Carolyn Cleak about the shared longings, desires and the pure love of art. The artists both paint pictures of the muse - this interest developed over a 30-year period living in shared households in Newtown. The exhibition is a tribute to a close friendship that has formed in response to the joy of creating art.

Phillip Ricketson's paintings are based on his keen observation of inner city living, having spent most of his life living in Newtown. Carolyn Cleak spent four years painting landscapes in Japan and now paints wild seascapes of Byron which is heavily influenced by Japanese art. In the words of artist Phillip Ricketson, "we just about never leave the house without a sketchbook in one bag or under the arm - these are the diaries of our lives and the source material for all our paintings".
