Heritage, history, and a modern spirit.

Twelve months ago we took up temporary residence in a gorgeous gallery space in the Hay St Mall. In that time, we’ve been blown away by the overwhelming support of both locals and visitors.

On behalf of local artists we’ve sold approximately 100 artworks - large and small - that have reached into the lives of local people, visitors, and travellers.

This incredible achievement has provided the inspiration and motivation to look further ahead.

So that we can take purposeful steps towards new goals, we’ve made the decision to close the gallery doors on Saturday 24th February 2024. Buoyed by the gallery’s success, our focusthis year will be building Sherylle’s art practice, and managing an important restoration, renovation, and construction project in the heritage suburb of Guildford.  

Our home was built by convicts in 1852 as quarters for Lieutenant Edmund DuCane. The image is of DuCane’s original sketch as he imagined life in Western Australia – this “damned, desolate place” which he called home for the next several years while he established the Guildford convict settlement.

After two years of research and planning, we’re on the brink of something important. In the coming months, we will be commencing building works to conserve and restore heritage integrity to the original house while modernising later extensions. 

A key feature of the project is the construction of a brand new, modern art studio - opening new opportunities for Sherylle’s art practice and art experiences for clients in an amazing environment which fuses heritage and contemporary design.
