Meet our committee

In 2024 we are focussing on making what we offer available to a more diverse range of people, and also making the wider community aware of the benefits and value of art for us all.

  • Clem Ng

    SECRETARY

    Hi, I’m Clem. I’m a lawyer/researcher/amateur potter and I look after records and documents. I’m a newbie to Blackeath and I’m a bit obsessed with anything blue.

  • Bruce Gray

    Bruce Gray is treasurer but prefers drawing and painting to crunching numbers. His preferred genre is portraiture in oils.

  • Ray Berry

    My name is Ray, and my role is public officer as well as “Mr Fixit”, although usually seen behind a camera.

  • Julie Paterson

    MEMBER

    Hi, I’m Julie, in charge of the socials and lending a hand with colour and composition. I really like orange and asymmetry.

  • Tina Workman

    MEMBER

    Hi, I’m Tina. I’m relatively new to Blackheath and to the committee. I’ll be helping out with general tasks and exhibitions. I’ve just retired from my job as a designer so I’m really looking forward to lots of spare hours painting.

  • Jules Booth

    MEMBER

    Hi, I’m Jules and I help with workshops and the website. I love listening to birds and drawing and painting the characters from my imagination.
