I have been a practising ceramic artist for the past 34 years. I commenced my initial training as a studio potter with Brother William at the Franciscan Friary Pottery in Brookfield. After ten years of creative wheel thrown table ceramics I travelled overseas and received personal tuition from Fine Ceramic Artists in Taos, New Mexico and Florence, Italy. When I returned to Australia I went on to work in Architectural ceramics producing handmade furniture, tiles, murals and public art installations.

“Maki Horanai’s art is evocative and serene, conjuring images of the small villages by the seaside where Make was raised. Her breathtaking work draws upon the beauty of nature and gives the viewer a sense of magical realism. Maki’s paintings have gained a following since she moved to Queensland from Japan in 2005. Her work has now been exhibited all over the world and she regularly exhibits in her own gallery and studio space, Mountain Dreams.”[1]
Susan Capan, owner and resident artist of Capanart Gallery, has been painting and drawing all her life. She is mostly self taught, an award winner, private art teacher and guest show judge. Her subject range is varied, although portraiture predominates and customers are amazed at the range of subjects she does paint.
Her studio is at the rear of her gallery on beautiful Mt. Tamborine in Queensland’s, Gold Coast Hinterland, Australia, where she finds plenty of inspiration to paint. Susan is frequently commissioned to paint portraits and is also creating more abstract works in unique styles full of energy and colour.
