Elaine was born in the small farming town of Tambellup, WA in 1936. She was a prolific water colour painter, painting at every opportunity. During her 52 year stay in Kalamunda her husband estimates that she painted in excess of 1,000 paintings. Elaine also taught at Mary’s Mount School in Gooseberry Hill. Elaine met up with fellow artists (Anne Silverton, Helen Sounness and Jean McDiamid) several times a week. where they visited numerous locations seeking out subjects of interest to paint: ‘anything falling down or rusting away, very old homes and places with atmosphere like bush fires, water, mist and smoke. She painted old houses, trees, bush scenes and landscapes of Kalamunda and surrounds, including Swan Valley vineyards, Swan River, hills, beaches, and views of Perth from Maylands.
The Art of Elaine Roennfeldt was exhibited at the Kalamunda Zig Zag Gallery in 2018. While prints are on sale at the WLAG gallery, the originals can be viewed by appointment by contacting David Sandler : phone 93062753 or email sedsand@iinet.net.au
Born in the East End of London during World War Two I completed my education and art studies in England. In 1972 I came to Australia with my husband and two young children. After arriving in Australia I completed a degree in education. On completion of my degree I worked as an art teacher with the Education Department.
Art has always been my passion since a very young age and I am lucky that I have been able to share my love of art and teaching with many children and adults over the years. Having been an art teacher I have covered many different genres of art, watercolour, pastels, oils, drawing and acrylics also many different styles from traditional to abstract. I love sculpture and handbuilt pottery was my favourite art medium.
When I retired from teaching it gave me time to work on my own art and for me the time I spend painting is very precious. I now like to paint mainly in acrylics from semi abstract landscape to pure abstract work.
Everything I paint comes from inside, based on memories and life experiences.I am lucky in that I still have a small group of adults who I teach voluntarily once a week, this session is more like a group of friends who get together to paint with a little help from me.I hope you enjoy looking at my art.
My love of art led me to complete a Diploma of Fine Art at Claremont College and a Batchelor of Arts Degree at Edith Cowan University followed by a post grad Teaching Degree. Since then I have taught High School Art so I am lucky that I can combine my passion to create art with a love of teaching.

Janine is currently a semi-retired geologist who loves spending her spare time creating art. She grew up in Brighton, Victoria, and after many years living and working in remote outback areas, finally settled in Perth, WA.
Janine's art to date is mostly acrylic/mixed media paintings using bold, bright colours and patterns. More recently she has been creating digital artwork on the computer where paintings are either created from scratch or manipulated from photos or her original artwork to create new pieces of art.
As a geologist, her work is very structured and exact, which is in direct contrast to her art work which is quite random and free.
