Each artwork is a quiet portal a return to stillness, balance, and the beauty of being.
Merging architectural precision with spiritual intention, Brisbane-based artist Sureen Gouws bridges the tangible and the unseen — each piece a conversation between geometry, texture, and vibration.
Guided by the belief that art can transform how we feel, not just how we see, she paints and sculpts with intention, infusing each layer with calm frequency.
Her creations invite pause and presence — transforming walls into sanctuaries and homes into living meditations.

Discover Amazing Art Today!
Here at Art Lovers Australia, we have created a hub that is easily accessible for artists and art lovers alike. We want to encourage people to learn, share, and indulge in art as much as possible. We have an online art shop so that art lovers can discover their next work of art and so that more emerging artists gain exposure.
As well as our online art shop, we have a blog so that you can stay up to date with the latest art industry news. This is always where we give advice on everything from must-read art books to colour psychology and helping you choose the right palette.
We want you to find art that you’ll immediately fall in love with and we have a huge marketplace full of affordable original art online by Australia’s most up and coming artists. You won’t find a marketplace like this in any other art gallery as they simply don’t have the space to accommodate so many amazing artists.
We cater to both artists and art lovers in our online art gallery. Artists can use our site as a platform to sell art online and reach more customers than they would in a traditional art gallery. We give them the change to create and customise their own biography section and promote their collections to a wider audience.
Having grown up around art, we know all too well that living off of an artist’s income and making a living from your passion can be incredibly challenging. We’re trying to solve this issue by giving every artist an equal opportunity and maximising their exposure to art lovers.
Art Lovers Australia founders, Nancy and Jarrod who currently live on the Gold Coast, came together to build a platform that would promote a more accessible and inclusive art community. Nancy is a part-time teacher of Visual Arts and an art collector herself. Jarrod is a children’s book publisher and web designer.
Together, they created something truly amazing. A revolutionary way to showcase and manage art online for both artists and those looking to buy art online. The artwork on Art Lover Australia’s website is both affordable and original as well as being easy for the creators of art to manage.
Our platform also offers a safe and secure way to buy art online Australia-wide. We offer a seven-day satisfaction guarantee to make sure you’re completely happy with your new art and free deliveries within the country.
With so many incredible artists in one place, you’re sure to find your next masterpiece when you browse our online store. From paintings to sculptures and even photography, we have so many incredible artists just waiting to be discovered.
Go online and browse our collection of original art from Australian artists. We also have a wealth of knowledge and resources in our blog and you can contact us by emailing help@artloversaustralia.com.au if you have any questions.
