SAGA or, the Society of American Graphic Artists represents a group of artist-printmakers each of whom is elected by a group of their peers. SAGA’s goal is to promote printmaking as a fine art through juried exhibitions and to produce special exhibitions focusing on the varied stylistic, thematic, and technical possibilities of prints. |
Hall Thorpe |
|
 |
For the expatriate Australian printmaker Hall Thorpe, (1874–1947), art and life were indissolubly linked. And that link was the wholesome positive outlook generated by his belief in the values of Christian Science. Thus when Thorpe stated that “Pictures for our Homes should be wholesome in subject, cheerful in colour, and decorative in design”, he was clearly advocating much more than aesthetics—he was also endorsing his view of life itself. |
Ethleen Palmer |
|
 |
Ethleen Palmer (1906–1958) was a renowned Australian linocut artist who combined an eclectic borrowing of artistic sources with a fascination for exotic fauna. Both of these hallmarks presumably derived from the cosmopolitan milieu, which she enjoyed as a child before her family settled in Australia in 1921. |

Suzanne Bellamy |

The landscape, colour, intense air and high altitude of New Mexico are unique. It has inspired great visionary art, mystical abstraction and magical forms, and drawn to it, artists, writers, poets from all over the earth, pilgrims, returning again and again, some moving there. Back in 1978, I first saw the work of artist Georgia O’Keeffe in a book. |
Andy Townsend |
|
 |
My collages are visual poems, hoping to seduce the onlooker who, pausing for a moment, might question the images that are described. As in life, the facts are not always clear, ambiguities abound, the story is open to speculation, to the imagination. |

I am a weaver and designer currently living and working in Melbourne with my patient partner Andrew and my adoring collection of inquisitive pets. From my childhood I cannot remember a time when I was not sewing or knitting or making up my own designs to ensure I had the best dressed pets and dolls in my street. |
