After a 35 career in garden design and construction Andrew finally realised his dream of being able to paint full time in mid 2013
Painting and creating has always been a part of Andrews life, building gardens for a living from wild and wacky to formal gardens Andrew achieved what he wanted over the 30 years he was in business with a string of awards both State and National to his name in Garden
Design and Excellence in Construction
His gardens were seen in glossy magazines and television shows many times like Burkes Backyard and local TV lifestyle shows in South Australia ( you will still find a few Burkes Backyard adventures on Youtube if you type in "Quixley" )
But as the body aged it was time to paint again something he did in his teens and early 20s and which he picked up again in his mid 30s
Now in his 60s Andrew has plenty of energy and enthusiasm that will keep him creating works of art for years to come. Enjoy Andrew's artworks on display in the studio
Cool in Summer, warm in Winter, the Studio is heated and cooled for your convenience at all times of the year
When it's really hot come and while away yourself in our beautiful surroundings
Cold and rainy? Come inside to view the artist at work
Having been together for many years Andrew and his beautiful wife Carolyn are really great friends and in this new business in the Clare Valley they work together to create a living in a beautiful environment
Massaging since 1992 Carolyn has a steady stream of regulars and clients only have great things to say about her massages
Carolyn is one of very few registered and qualified Oncology massage practitioners in the state and still travels to hospitals in Adelaide a few days a week to fill the need required by others
Why not enjoy a soothing and peaceful massage by Carolyn Quixley Dip RM in her dedicated massage room or she is happy to visit Bed and Breakfast establishments if you are on holiday and Carolyn has a provider number for rebates
