Sanctuaries: Jacki Fewtrell Gobert and Hannah Goggs (aka The Moody Rabbit) ~ June 28 – July 20, 2025

Conversation with the Artists & Gallery Tour

Sanctuaries brings together two distinct yet deeply complementary artistic voices, each creating visual spaces that speak to comfort, stillness, and the personal resonance of place.

In Jacki Fewtrell’s body of work, vibrant, whimsical interiors take centre stage – rooms filled with warmth, memory, and unexpected splashes of pink. These paintings invite the viewer into imagined domestic scenes that are anything but ordinary. Rendered in a playful, contemporary style, they suggest moments of joy and quiet observation: a chair bathed in morning light, a pot plant reaching toward a window, a vase standing tall on a cluttered table. These are intimate spaces, lovingly constructed and bursting with character, where daily life becomes art.

In contrast – but never in conflict – are soft, poetic evocations of the Australian landscape. Hannah Gogg’s Birds and wildflowers are rendered in subdued pinks, muted greens, and gentle neutrals. Here, nature is seen through a modern lens – contemporary in form, yet timeless in subject. These works do not attempt to bring creatures or flora to life in a literal sense; instead, they distil an atmosphere, a feeling, a sense of reverence. Their restraint and elegance invite reflection, offering a different kind of sanctuary: one found outdoors, in open space, and in connection with the natural world.

Together, these two artistic approaches form a gentle conversation – between inside and outside, boldness and subtlety, structure and wildness. Sanctuaries is a celebration of contemporary female artists, of quiet power, and of the spaces – real and imagined, that we turn to for solace and inspiration.

Hannah Goggs (aka The Moody Rabbit)

Hannah Goggs is a mixed media Australian artist currently living in Warwick, Queensland.

Hannah is the creator and mind behind the brand Moody Rabbit. Hannah works under this name from her home studio where she makes an assortment of wares including artwork, pottery and homewares. Hannah’s favourite subject matters range from Australian botanicals, ornithology and sometimes quirky and cute characters. This is a lifestyle choice made by Hannah; mornings usually consist of pottery and screen printing and the afternoons and evenings for painting. Her inspiration comes naturally from her surroundings and can be influenced by colour, mood, emotion and season.

A sweet, kind natured lady, Hannah’s work is always evolving and changing and each piece is uniquely handmade and designed by her. Her current future plan is to expand her practise, build relationships with clients and galleries across Australia.

 

Jacki Fewtrell Gobert

Jacki Fewtrell Gobert is a contemporary artist primarily working in acrylic on board. Her work relates to her immediate environment, both interior and exterior. Jacki’s recent body of work is based on her local environment at Brooklyn on the Hawkesbury River where she resides, as well as travels to Tasmania, South Australia and time spent in Paris and London. Jacki’s work is literal but she loves to exaggerate line and use of colour. She often depicts the mundane and tries to make the viewer see what is often taken for granted. Jacki brings a contemporary approach to traditional still life art.

Her paintings focus on the beauty and comfort of the home interior – our treasured personal space filled with memories, furnishings, special objects and quirky art collections. Jacki refers to these paintings as ‘casual still life studies’. Educated at The College of Fine Arts (UNSW), Jacki has taught art and had numerous solo exhibitions since 1982 and has her works in many private as well as government collections. She has an impressive prize record having won the Mosman Art Prize twice in 1982 & 1985 as well as the Kirribilli Art Prize in 2011 & 2012. She has been a finalist in many art prizes in NSW including the Outback Art Prize and the Adelaide Perry Drawing Prize.
