Lyle Dayman Following a lifetime in advertising Lyle Dayman decided the time was right to reinvent himself as an artist. Beginning with watercolour in the mid 1990's, he had lessons with Greg Allen and Ross Paterson in Victoria. Moving back to South Australia in 2003, he began experimenting with pastels. A workshop with Maxwell Wilks in 2006 was sufficient to convince him to continue with the pastel as a major interest. Lyle had several solo and dual exhibitions in Victoria and his first solo exhibition in a capital city (Adelaide) in 2005. He has won several Best Watercolour prizes in both States. In 2008 he was elevated to Fellowship of the Royal South Australian Society of Arts. Lyle was president of Pastel Artists of South Australia in 2008 and 2009. Cheryl Cherry After 36 years teaching in the primary and preschool sectors, I retired and became involved in the art world. Having never studied painting at school or even held a paintbrush or pastel in my hand I had a great deal to learn but what I lacked in experience I made up for enthusiasm. It was recommended that I try pastel. Well that proved to be an absolute delight. I joined the Pastel Artists of South Australia and been able to learn a great deal from other members and demonstrators who willing share their experience and expertise. I joined the Monday Art Class at Hove where Cynthia Dowler was our guiding light, motivator and problem solver. The support I have received from the folk in this class has been greatly appreciated. I was a previous secretary of the Pastel Artists of South Australia. This of course takes quite a considerable amount of time. I also work in an art store, which is invigorating and rewarding. I therefore do not spend as much as time painting as I would like. Perhaps when I retire for the second time I can focus on my art. Carol Coventry For some 18 years I had painted in oils and watercolours, before being introduced to pastels in 1998 and discovering that they have wonderfully vibrant colours that lend themselves to all the subjects that I want to paint - animals, especially cats, landscapes and seascapes. Over the years I have studied with many great teachers, including Chris Orchard, Max Wilks, Ross Paterson, Brian Allison and Kellie Fergusson. I currently study with Graham Pankhurst at the Hindmarsh Island Drawing Group. I have won many awards, including the Gold Medal award in 2005 by the Pastel Artists of South Australia at Gallery M. In 2000 I was a finalist in the Fleurieu Biennale. I have been a finalist in the Heysen Landscape Art Prize for 7 years, from 2001 to 2007. I won major prizes in the Clare Rotary Art Show in 2005 and 2006, and in 2004 I was the overall winner of the Jamestown Art Show. I have also won many awards in the Royal Adelaide Art purchase. I have been a member of the Off the Slate Gallery in Willunga since 2007 and regularly exhibit at the Porter Street Wildlife Gallery and the Regional Gallery, both in Goolwa. More examples of my work can be viewed on my website: www.carolcoventry.com.au Cynthia Dowler

During her school years she was awarded scholarships to attend art school, at the end of her school years she went on to pursue her interests in portraiture with May Grigg, who helped to develop her skills in tonal realism with the aid of classical plaster busts. Cynthia was introduced to the pastel medium by studying with Ingrid Earns and over time gained recognition as a pastel portrait artist, particularly with young children's studies.

Glenda Parker My favourite medium is pastel, closely followed by watercolour, dyes on silk and acrylics. I was born in Whyalla, South Australia, and came to live in Adelaide in 1992. I am a Past President of Whyalla Art Group, Past President of Adelaide Art Society ( Life member of both groups ) and current member of Pastel Artists of South Australia. I am also a Fellow of the Royal South Australian Society of Arts and have had two shared exhibitions at Lombard Gallery with my silk paintings. I have twice won the Resident Art Award for Campbelltown and several other awards and prizes throughout the state. My paintings are owned by people living in the USA, UK as well as Australia. I love to paint almost every day and get pretty cranky if I can't paint after a few days. I have been painting for more than 30 years. If I am not painting I am dressmaking or reading books. There is no such thing as boredom in my life.
