TWO ARTISTS UNITE TO CREATE A MASTERPIECE

Brook Miles and Torie Begg both established South Australian Artists have exhibited their artwork together over the years at The Stirling Art Show, Victor Harbour Rotary Art Show, St Catherine’s School Art show, Some Days are Diamonds at Magill and Interno Della Casa at Victor Harbor. Torie, also a home stylist has an established home styling furniture rental company Torie Begg Styling Homes For Sale. With over 10 years experience in styling homes for sale, she joined forces with Brook Miles to style Brook’s magnificent home called “Parkhaven Cottage” at 18 Jaffrey Street Parkside. Brook said "It is great working with Torie as we bounced ideas of each other when creating the right look for the home”.

Brook and his three sons Duan, Trent and Jamon put there artistic talents to work when creating " Parkhaven Cottage ", building on to the existing character. Duan worked with Brook to add character and exciting ideas to make this into a very trendy innovative home. Situated in the very popular suburb of Parkside with a playground/ park and dog park just down the street, truly a lovely spot to live.

Once the home was renovated Torie was called in to weave her home styling magic, with her beautiful contemporary furniture, lamps, linen, cushions, throws and accessories it has now created the wow factor to this home. Torie said “Brook’s artwork are a statement piece on their own so when styling the home for sale all furniture, lamps, linen and accessories and colours where carefully selected to compliment the artwork. I love the striking black and white theme he has used internally and externally on this beautiful classic double fronted cottage, it lends itself to this colour theme so well. There are so many amazing features about the home from the great size rooms, to the one black feature wall that surrounds the white fire place in each bedroom, to Brook’s hand painted floor to ceiling mural, along with the 1.3 metre black lamp shade that is suspended in the rear lounge, an old large red propeller hung on the wall in the rear lounge room and the partly exposed brick work. Just to name a few of his very creative aspects of the home.”

Brook has been painting murals and artwork all his life and also has a signwriting and illustrations company Aussie Signs. The creator of Aussie Signs, he is now creating art on canvas and selling through local galleries including Of Paint and Possession, Some Days are Diamonds, Artworks, Q Gallery and Interno.

Brook is originally from Picton, just out of Sydney. After graduating from tech college, he set up his own signwriting business in Picton. 4 years on, he decided to venture on a working holiday around Australia where he worked with local artists and signwriters at Airlie Beach and Darwin. After traveling the west coast he stopped in Adelaide painting artworks on city buses and working for Adelaide signwriters.
