Newman Artworks was established in 2005 as the creative outlet of Ballarat artist and graphic designer Julian Newman.

Julian completed his Bachelor of Visual Arts in 1995, majoring in Painting, producing a final year folio strongly focused on the landscape around the Flinders Rangers after a week long field trip. After a brief stint in childrens' book illustration Julian moved into graphic design, winning several awards during his tertiary studies of graphic design. In 2002 Julian established his own graphic design studio Newman Creative which is located in Ballarat and has a strong client base in many areas of Victoria including Melbourne, Geelong, Ballarat, Horsham and Shepparton.

Julian's images capture the landscape in its simplest form, breaking it down to an abstract form and colour. These images illuminate the warmth and beauty of the landscape which have inspired him during several trips to Central and Northern Australia.

Emma Newman has had a love of photography for several years since studying photography as part of her Diploma of Professional Writing and Editing in 1999. Emma's photos are primarly studies of nature, capturing the beauty and detail of flowers, foliage and textures.
