The Artist's Wall
The Artist's Wall is a space we have dedicated to both established and up-and-coming artists in our community.
Each month Picton Social features a new artist's artwork which can be admired while enjoying our great food and great coffee. It can also be purchased directly from the cafe.
If you are an artist looking to showcase your masterpieces and would love to gain a little more exposure, simply contact us via email hello@pictonsocial.com - we are always on the lookout for new artists.
Artist of the Month - October 2024
Featuring in the month of October is local artists
Eddie Lim & Peter Sherlock
This is the third collaborative exhibition that Peter Sherlock and Eddie Lim have presented. Both are Macarthur photographers, and both are recipients of the prestigious Camden Art Prize for photography. They share a common belief that photographs, like works of art, should be displayed and shared. Society today increasingly chooses to portray visual art in digital formats, viewed on a screen and shared on-line. Much of the impact is lost in the process. We have elected to exhibit our creative efforts in a form that we feel is better appreciated and we hope that you agree.
Photography, unlike snapshots, is an expression of artistic impulses. The photographer is emotionally inspired when he raises his camera and captures an impression, a split second in time, a unique moment captured. We hope that the images on display will arouse an emotional response, positive or negative, happy or sad, and possibly stir a curiosity in you as to What, Where, How, and Why the pictures were taken. If the photographs touch or move you in the slightest, our efforts will have been rewarded.
Jess Hutchison - Artist
Since introducing The Artist's Wall, many of our patrons have been treated to pieces by the ever so talented Jess Hutchison. Jess' artwork is a permanent fixture in the cafe. Her bright and colourful prints adorn our bar area and have been very popular amongst our customers. All Jess Hutchison art on display in the cafe is available for purchase, inclusive of frame.
A little bit about Jess
Jess Hutchison is a self-taught artist based on the South Coast of NSW. She grew up in the Illawarra and now resides in the Shoalhaven.
Inspired by her surroundings, and with a deep love of colour, her vibrant artworks feature some of Australia's most colourful flora and fauna. She paints in a unique style that blends realism with quirky, loose and colourful lines - and she adds her signature linework eye detailing to most of her birds (a throwback to her make-up artistry background).
Working primarily with acrylic and Posca markers on canvas, she hopes to create a connection and evoke a sense of calm and happiness through her art.

Fairies by Suzi-o
Suzi has been a resident of Picton for nearly 25years. Her background was in office work, publicity and Insurance, however, her real love was in art. In her spare time she was either drawing, painting, writing or baking. Anything to release her creative side.
About 5 years ago she began to use her vivid imagination to create fairies. Her fairies are unique because they are all one of a kind!
Suzi only makes originals. Never two the same!
All her fairies are recorded, tagged, named and photographed, and they are all handmade by her. She loves to use recycled materials. All fairies come in different sizes too.
She also dabbles in felting and makes the odd little creature!
A few fairies are on display at Picton Social so pop down and have a look and support small businesses in the Wollondilly.
Suzi is happy to take orders, so get in touch for a unique and original gift that will last a life time.
