Welcome to Rogues Gallery

by Australian Artist, Alison Atkinson

Rogues Gallery is for those who value and appreciate art. The art world can feel intimidating and exclusive, making it harder to enjoy. We think art should be a pleasure to view, acquire and to own. There's really no rule that says you must "know about art" or "understand the artist's intention" to like it and want to have it in your home.

If you love it, want it, and can afford it, buy it!

Australia has great artists creating amazing work so no matter how you choose to appreciate or buy your art, supporting local Australian artists is a great thing to do!

Rogues Gallery makes owning art, created by Australian artists easy and affordable. There's no need to to buy imported, mass produced work when Australian art is plentiful and accessible.

Whether it's one special piece, a whole room, or even an entire house that is screaming out for art, Rogues Gallery is the ideal place to buy Australian art!

"I make work that means something to me. Art feeds my soul and enriches my life. I hope that people feel that when they see my work, enjoy seeing the world through my eyes and do me the honour of choosing my art to create their spaces."

My work is intuitive, emotionally driven, and free range. I create work that matters to me, or that lights up my imagination for some reason and hope it resonates with others. My intention is to play and create work that can be enjoyed. It's a happy bonus if someone likes my work enough to buy it.

Art is emotionally risky and there is so much to navigate in becoming an artist. Little of it has anything to do with actually creating art; overcoming imposter syndrome, feeling guilty for doing what I love, finding the confidence to speak up and to be seen, struggling with perfectionism, these are all lifelong challenges. I'm winning and am finally reconciled to the fact that I am an artist. Creating is core to my being. It brings me peace and joy. Living this artist life is a gift and a privilege.

I take risks because through risk comes growth. I reject the idea that artists must conform to art norms or that I am obliged to create art that complies; so, I just do my own thing, my own way, in my own time. I am a multi media creative. I work in whatever medium inspires me. I am living my authentic life.
