Five Artists

Creating Art

Beyond the Expected



The Uncommon Art Collective was formed in August 2025.

Through collaborative curation, the whole that results is greater

than the sum of the parts - truly beyond the expected!

Meet the Artists

Each artist maintains her own studio practice but the group encourage, discuss, critique and exhibit together.  The five start with an idea in common, then work individually toward both abstracted and reference-based images.  

Sheila Rowe

Sheila Rowe’s abstract and loose representational paintings

are often inspired by the beauty she finds in nature.

‘Being an artist isn’t about arriving at a formula for success.

 It is about landing on one rock in the stream and then stepping to the next.

It is always an adventure.’
