The Art of video:
Since 2000 the gallery has diversified in to documentary video production. Gallery director, Thomas T. Draper, in support of the "Noosa Biosphere" Reserve (2007), and the "sustainability" objectives of the UNESCO MAB Program, also personally produces miniature documentary videos specifically designed for installation on websites. Buy website videos. Interest in the future of Noosa, concerns for the maintenance of conservation values and the healthy future of our planet should be reflected when a one minute, biosphere related video, is installed on a website. See nine sixty second website video examples (Beyond that, their presence on your website incidentally naturally enhances your Page Rank in the Search Engines through relative paucity).
Your Collection:
To get you started we suggest perhaps the purchase of e.g., a particularly high quality limited edition original etching by Trevor Riach or other "original" print.
(Our framing expertise to gallery specification lends long life to works on paper). While in Noosa we have placed stunning displays of Trevor Riach etchings in Brisbane offices.
The Business Name:
'Young-Masters' in our 32-year-old business name implies, both living and deceased, "MASTER" artists. The "Old-Masters" lived of course in the distant past. _____ ABN: 66 497 550 597.

Lawrence Daws is represented in the Queensland Art Gallery. His work is of great importance to serious art collectors. See The Australian newspaper.)
Code 833_"Bob Hodby's Team",
by Dale Marsh, oil on canvas, 62 x 98 cm,
(80 x 116 cm overall)_AU$6,300.
Dale Marsh may be viewed as the most prominent Queensland painter who practiced in an impressionist style; (a 1988 book confirming his maturity and importance is included in the National Library of Australia collection), in the second half of the twentieth century. The above painting was illustrated in the catalogue of the Shepherd Foundation Clydesdale Exhibition in 1976 in Melbourne. Entitled: Bob Hodby's Team, it was presented to the Board of Dalgety New Zealand Limited in 1977 when the company was moved to it's head office in Wellington. Sir William Vines, then Chairman of Dalgety Australia Proprietary Limited (and also a member of the NZ Board) made the presentation on behalf of the Australian sister company. It had pride of place in the head office boardroom until 1988 when the company ceased to operate after the sale of it's rural trading business and closure of it's remaining activities. This artwork should be viewed as a long term investment. It is here on hand in our Noosa stockroom and is in immaculate condition. Provenance on hand.
Our Top Selling Artist, Syd Mather:
Ranging from the serene to the dynamic, are impressionist paintings as depicted in the ART STOCK VIDEO by our leading artist Syd Mather.
Syd Mather, M.A., National Gallery School Melbourne has been painting professionally for 45 years. We have been privileged to represent him exclusively in Queensland for 33 years. Syd Mather has developed a unique painting technique. His modern integrated style, apparent since the late 1980's, is in equilibrium with black. Get prices.

restaurant, at the time of his one person exhibition there, in Dec.1994.
(Coco's was situated opposite the entrance gate to Noosa National Park).
The GREEN line in the graph below demonstrates how Syd Mather paintings have established a singularly healthy trend in auction price growth over a long period of time when compared with the rest of the art auction market. Average auction prices are a little more than retail prices at this point in time. This indicates that great care has been taken not to inflate retail prices, even though we are dealing here with a painter possessing brushwork and colour management skills far superior to that of his peers in the genre. Volume of resales of Syd Mather paintings also completely outstrips that of all other artists in the genre. Buying a Mather therefore makes good sense if the one cares about the art holding it's value and eventual yield on resales. Scroll down to view an exceptional stock Syd MATHER oil painting.
