Natures
Face ART is the
creative project of Gerhard
Hillmann and
Natasha Day. We are
currently living in Far North Queensland, situated
above Cairns on top of a mountain range. Being
in the middle of a
World Heritage
Rainforest provides
all the inspiration we need to create imagery and
run our Fine Art Gallery.
We also make and sell Hand-Made
Art Cards and Limited Edition prints at local markets when
the weather permits. Our artwork can also be bought
through various local outlets or
by contacting us directly.
"Nature is Art, Art is my
Nature".
My obsession is creativity,
I find it’s an
endless pursuit of observing, creating and sharing
everyday magical moments in our lives. I attempt
to stimulate peoples imagination and draw attention
to elements in the natural world we are all part
of.
“Organic Photo Montage is the term
I use when trying to describe my style of creating
images. The visual image is a language of creation,
transcending written language barriers and
providing a universal medium we can all understand.
It’s not limited to one persons
meaning or concept and is always open to interpretation.
The natural world has its own language which I
am trying to acknowledge in my artwork.

does not reproduce what we see; rather it

In 2007 I returned to Far North
Queensland with my partner Natasha who I met in
Melbourne. After a holiday up to Cairns she didn't
need much convincing to leave the city behind.
When I returned to my place of origin I had been
away for 15 years and it felt great to be back.
I was born in Kuranda which is on top of the moutain
range just above Cairns. Growing up in the rainforest,
diving on the reefs and endlessly camping gave
me an appreciation of the natural world and the
unlimited creativity it releases.
I have studied Traditional and Contemporary Photography,
Art and Design in San Francisco,Germany, South
Australia and Melbourne resulting indegrees and
certificates. However, cities don’t interest
me right now as I find myself retracing steps I
took many years ago along the rivers and through
the bush. Wait a while, leaches, crocodiles and
mould bring back memories of how it was and still
is up here.
I hope you enjoy the artwork on these pages and
please feel free to contact
us if you have any
questions.
Regards Gerhard.
