Tania Chanter - Abstract Artist

Tania Chanter is based in the Yarra Valley, Victoria, and her intuitive approach to painting is driven by a deep love of colour, texture, and pattern. Whether depicting a serene meandering river or a dramatic coastal storm, her work captures atmosphere and emotion, allowing layers of paint to evolve organically until a sense of balance is achieved.

Her journey into professional art began unexpectedly when a painting session with her son sparked by Bob Ross's The Joy of Painting ignited a passion that has never waned. With a background in advertising, media, and graphic design, Tania has always been drawn to creative expression, but painting became a revelation, offering a profound sense of freedom and fulfilment.


For Tania, art is more than a profession, it is a lesson in overcoming fear and embracing creativity. She believes life is too precious to be limited by self-doubt, encouraging others to explore their potential and find joy in the act of creation.

  • Sean Bowen - Founder

    "The journey of first discovering and then investing in art is worth far more than the price of admission alone. Whoever you are, there will be something that moves you, something that resonates, makes you feel, makes you fall, makes you think, lets you… breathe.

    After conversations with my good mate Tank, leading to probably too many questions from me around the firepit and certain exhibition openings, I knew we had to do something about online art sales, and do it now.

    How?  A platform built from the ground up to minimise operational costs, so easy to use that only the most basic computer experience is required.  One that will NEVER charge a commission on sales, running completely off loyal members' fees, client and customer experience, and a whole lotta care factor. TIme to get back to simple. Time to get it right."

  • Vin Scully - Founder

    Vinnie has been involved in the custom development of E-commerce and complex integration software systems for many years, growing with the technology as it has exploded in recent times. In order to create a platform that doesn't require a huge team or major costs to run day to day is in no way easy, especially with Sean pushing hard to simplify every step for the client and end user.  

    This will be the third platform they've partnered on, each conceived to support creatives and community in different ways, and each approaching the problems with a fresh approach and super solid tech.

    "It's well known I geek out on the tech side of things, and once again Sean has brought me an opportunity that allows me to flex the tech and create something special.

     Personally, I can't wait to see this roll out and make a real difference!"

  • Tank - Artist Site Advisor

    Tank has accepted the task of keeping us honest, ensuring both the artist and buyer experience is what he has dreamed about for everyone for many years.

    His creations are many, across varied genres and styles, including large scale sculptures and huge commissioned murals, down to paintings designed to make you look more than twice, and think...hard..

    "After years of selling my artworks with high commissions through online art galleries I thought there must be a better way for artists to deal directly with buyers without needing to each have their own store!

     After long discussions with other artists and my mates Sean and Vinnie, we formulated our zero commission gallery; a store where artists get 100% of their asking price and buyers don't have to pay huge premiums for artworks. It's the perfect win-win!"
