Rhonda Parcel has retired to Mansfield and has made her studio home at MACS.  Rhonda is an accomplished mixed media artist and has exhibited widely throughout NSW and Victoria selling many works along the way.  She has received many awards over the years. Rhonda has been making art for as long as she can remember from early childhood to the present.  She finds that she expresses herself through her work saying “making art makes me whole.” Back to Artists Resident Artist Profile Mixed Media Artist Rhonda Parcel Discover More Rhonda Parcel has retired to Mansfield and has made her studio home at MACS. Rhonda is an accomplished mixed media artist and has exhibited widely throughout NSW and Victoria selling many works along the way. She has received many awards over the years. Rhonda has been making art for as long as she can remember from early childhood to the present. She finds that she expresses herself through her work saying “making art makes me whole.” In early adulthood she studied at Meadowbank Technical College in Sydney while working in cartoon animation. She completed a certificate course at Dubbo TAFE College in the 1980’s. However she really blossomed when she attended a workshop conducted by Judith White a well known mixed media artist. Rhonda relishes the freedom of expression that using various mediums allows. She is inspired by the world around her. Her cityscapes, landscapes and seascapes are her escapes that are good for her mental health. Rhonda says that a major challenge for her as an artist is to produce consistently good work without being over critical of herself. She overcomes the challenge by seeking feedback from her audience. She sees herself further exploring abstraction in her mixed media painting.

Felicity fell in love with painting and drawing at the age of eight after attending oil painting classes with her mother. With a Bachelor of Visual Arts and a Master of Arts Management under her belt, Felicity has had numerous solo and group shows and in 2012 won a Brunswick Street Gallery Acquisitive Prize in its annual Small Works Exhibition. Back to Artists Resident Artist Profile Mixed Media Artist Felicity Hayward Follow Felicity fell in love with painting and drawing at the age of eight after attending oil painting classes with her mother. With a Bachelor of Visual Arts and a Master of Arts Management under her belt, Felicity has had numerous solo and group shows and in 2012 won a Brunswick Street Gallery Acquisitive Prize in its annual Small Works Exhibition. Felicity’s practice is heavily influenced by her immediate surroundings and since moving from Melbourne several years ago her work has transitioned from dark architectural works to bright landscapes. Felicity works in various mediums, including a transfer print technique, which she works over in pen and markers. She also works in collage, acrylic and gouache. For Felicity, the creative process is more satisfying than seeing the finished artwork. Felicity is also a qualified Art Therapist offering private art therapy sessions to clients. Combining her artist training and a Master of Therapeutic Art Practice, Felicity guides people of all artistic skill levels to engage with materials and creatively connect with their emotions. Felicity was instrumental in the establishment of Mansfield Arts Collective Studios and believes the studio facility provides an invaluable opportunity for artists to collaborate and share ideas. She is excited to also be able to share her process with the public and encourages everyone to visit the studios and spend some time with all the artists.

He takes commissions for custom pieces and also produces a steady stream of more utilitarian pieces that he sells from the Mansfield Arts Collective Studios under hsi brand, 'Palletize'. Back to Artists Resident Artist Profile Carpenter - Palletize Jeff Reid Follow Jeff Reid is a craftsman of bespoke furniture. Utilising reclaimed timber, Jeff crafts one-off pieces of furniture including tables, benches, shelves and frames. He takes commissions for custom pieces and also produces a steady stream of more utilitarian pieces that he sells from the Mansfield Arts Collective Studios. Jeff has always made sawdust and shavings. He studied to become an industrial arts teacher but did not pursue that career. Life and circumstances took him in a different direction. He went to Bourke in 2000 and began picture framing in the gallery owned by him and Rhonda Parcel. Jeff moved to Newcastle and collected chairs to refurbish. His interest expanded when Jeff and Rhonda retired to Mansfield. He loves to design and build eclectic pieces out of recycled and reclaimed timber. Being interested in how things are done has allowed Jeff to experiment with resin work and steel for legs and stands. Jeff says "People are amazed by the quality of my work after seeing the mess that I have in my shed. It's simple really as I have an attention to detail and a desire for perfection"
