Guarantee of Quality
Only the best archival quality Epson UltraChrome pigment inks, and 100% cotton fine art canvas &
Hahnemuhle cotton rag 300 gsm papers have been used to ensure that, with proper care, these prints
will last more than a life- time, and help to keep the memory of our pioneers alive.
The Gicleee Fine Art prints on canvas are varnished with a UV resistant clear designed especially for
digital prints, which also makes them scratch and scuff resistant, and will at least double the life
of the already archival inks. |

The Galleries
The artwork of Jennifer & Ron Marshall falls into basically five categories, and into which this website has
been divided to make it easier for you to navigate so as to appreciate their wonderful art. To access any of
the Galleries, just click on the menu pictures at left.
Australian Light Horse Collection
This collection of paintings is inspired by our love of horses and interest in our country’s
history and heritage, which reveals the amazing true stories of the original Light Horsemen and
their Walers (as the hardy and reliable Australian horses came to be called), as they served
their country in times of War.
During these difficult times the Light Horsemen virtually spent 24 hours a day with or in close
proximity to their horses; both horses and men each relying on the other for their very survival.
Under such conditions very close bonds formed between the men and their horses.

Mount Britton
Collection
This collection of paintings was inspired by the fascinating stories of Mount britton, an isolated
pioneer gold town. Like many isolated gold towns that sprang up throughout Australia as the
country was settled, Mount Britton began with a goldrush in 1881, it flourished for a short time,
then – defeated by drought and isolation – gradually dwindled, was abandoned, and largely
forgotten. Located 40km from Nebo in central Queensland and surrounded by magnificent mountains,
hopeful prospectors still search for gold in the gullies and hills surrounding the old townsite.

Rainforests & Rivers Collection
This collection of paintings is inspired by many of the breath-taking National Parks that surround
the area of Central Queensland where the artists used to live, and the beautiful, mountain-fed
rivers that meander their way to the sea between the Great Dividing Range and the Australian
eastern coastline.
Ron & Jennifer Marshall have captured the beauty & mystical qualities of the rain forests, often in
the early dawn, bringing to the canvas the quiet, burbling, calming solitude of the rivers as they
flow gently between the forested hills.

The Magic of Sunlight & Sea Collection
These seascapes are inspired from the everchanging light and moods of the nearby
coastline, with features ranging from rocky outcrops, vast sandy tidal flats, sandy beaches to
mangrove flats.

Horses of
Australia Collection
From the patient child's pony bearing his precious cargo, to the agile stock horse which with its
rider fearlessly manipulates the movements of cattle, to the gentle giants of the equine world that
pull the burdens and till the soil - the horse has all helped to shape this great land and the
lives of people in it. |

Ron & Jennifer Marshall have a strong affiliation with the
Queensland shire of Nebo, home to their most famous collection – Mt Britton ... a few words
from the Nebo Shire community leader:
I am also able to attest to the excellent work of Ron and Jennifer Marshall. They have
provided a number of pieces for Nebo Shire Council to our complete satisfaction.
The Shire museum is presently engaged in a project with the Marshalls featuring their
"Mount Britton Collection" of art works.
We intend to continue our association with Ron and
Jennifer.

A Word from John Pickup
One of the internationally acclaimed "Brushmen of the Bush"
Jennifer & Ron Marshall's stunning limited edition prints not only showcase
their considerable artistic talents, but also their outstanding computing and
scanning skills.
Working entirely "in house", they have developed the expertise to produce their
works on long life archival paper at highly competitive prices, equalling the
quality of the top commercial printing houses.
The central theme of their beautifully executed work features everyday life in
the historic gold mining town of Mount Britton in the 19th century, but the
reproductions so closely resemble the original works, that they also stand
alone as evocative works of art that would provide continuing pleasure to the
viewer.
John Pickup is one of the internationally acclaimed "Brushmen of the Bush"
and a respected art judge, whose works are included in the collections of
Prince Charles, Qantas, and Civic and Private Collections in Australia and
overseas.
