Local Art

Established in 2013, The Nest is the brainchild of the dynamic duo, Missy Gilbert and Daniel Bourne. The Nest is a place for artists, makers and innovators! We believe in the Arts and it’s varied and unique culture. We provide sacred, inclusive and safe space for creatives to nurture expression, growth and creative connection. With a proud holistic philosophy, the Nest is run by Artists for Artists. An open space plan is part of our ethos encouraging connection and collaboration within our community. The Nest is more like a bespoke artists retreat than a generic creative space. Around every corner you’ll find carefully curated styling from Missy and Daniel’s private collection of furniture, vintage wares and commissioned artworks.

Wesley Taylor is a Brisbane-based artist who has been painting and drawing from an early age. His passion for art was supported by a scholarship from Queensland Art Gallery, which provided him with the opportunity to study art and nurture his development. Much of Taylor’s work is inspired by the diversity of the Australian landscape and animals that surround him. The influence of trips to the north of Queensland, with it’s coral seas and mountain landscapes, shine through in his work. If you would like to find out more about Wesley Taylor or any of his work, feel free to contact him. He’s always glad to have a friendly call to have a quick chat about his work.
