Marketing Officer

Chloe Camilleri

Chloe's hidden talent (or shame) is that she knows almost every lyric in any Snoop Dogg song you can name. She enjoys surfing and is addicted to The Hills and The City, but is making a real effort to cut back. Christmas is her favourite time of year and she once played drums in a band called the Spunky Monkey's - they never quite took off...

administration officer

Sandra Wright

Following eleven years living and working in London and France, Sandra returned to the Bundaberg area in late 2007.

Quickly settling into an idyllic 'retired' lifestyle at Bargara, Sandra had time to indulge her passion of Tai Chi, Yoga, art and swimming. A desire to give something back to the community led her to join the Volunteer Programme at the Gallery. She now works full time at the Gallery in an administritive role.

Jenny is passionate about creativity and the natural environment: she sees opportunities for creativity absolutely everywhere! Jenny has travelled to lots of different places, but she has a special connection with desert regions, especially the American Southwest.

administration officer - childers arts space

Charlie Brun

Yes folks, I am the real Charlie Brown! Born in Barcelona from Basque parents, I can honestly say "Good Grief" on much of my many experiences in life. I am a DIY scientist come writer come lover of the Tao. I love my three boys dearly and they have all grown into outstanding young men. I live on 23 wonderful acres with my partner, two dogs and four chooks.
Yellow is my favourite colour, and I am developing my theory on Quatnum Hook Gravity as opposed to Quantum Loop Garvity. I love a good conspiracy - and did you know that...(no better not).

I 'see' people deeply and enjoy great converse and humour. My favourite poem is Sir Galahad, by Alfred Lord Tennyson - Blake and Thoreau are important to me as well. Pop in to the Childers Art Space and let's have a chat.
