Contemporary Art Virtual Gallery
Opening in January 2021, Tebbs is an online platform for contemporary arts aiming to explore the notion of “being” through both emerging and established artists.
Founded by Kirstie Tebbs, she feels it is important to give back to the community, and so a percentage of exhibiting fees are either donated to a charity or put towards an artist opportunity each month.

Portals to Nature, Andrea Hamilton
A portal is a gateway to something else, in this case, to the natural world preserved in the diorama displays in museums. I have been fascinated with these displays that combine so many fine art skills. Photography compresses the three-dimensional to two dimensions, heightening the feeling of reality. In my work, I took hundreds of images from many angles and built up the scene for a single picture. At times, I have combined elements from real animals or nature with the displays. I realise that in parallel with the natural world, the diorama is being phased out for virtual reality displays.
