The Artist's Wall is a space we have dedicated to both established and up-and-coming artists in our community.
Each month Picton Social features a new artist's artwork which can be admired while enjoying our great food and great coffee. It can also be purchased directly from the cafe.
If you are an artist looking to showcase your masterpieces and would love to gain a little more exposure, simply contact us via email hello@pictonsocial.com - we are always on the lookout for new artists.
Artist of the Month - April 2026 - Joan Rosten
Featuring in the month of March is Joan Rosten
Joan is an Australian born artist who grew up in Sydney and attended East Sydney technical college where she attained a diploma of fine arts. She developed a strong interest in pastels and for many years this was her medium of choice. Joan went on to exhibit and win many prizes for her pastel work, including the Faber Castel artists prize and her work is on display in their offices.
She then found another love in watercolour which she has now worked in for many years. Joan has won numerous awards for her beautiful watercolours, including the Fairfield Art Prize, Stonequarry Art Prize and Campbelltown show for 10 years where she also took out the Centenary ribbon. She most recently won an award at the prestigious Art of Sydney Australian Maritime Museum Exhibition.
Joan sells her work both locally and internationally. She has had the privilege to work with some of Australian’s finest artists including John Olsen, Herman Pekel, Pro Hart and Colina Grant.
Joan’s home studio is in Catherine field NSW where she resides with her husband Terry.
Jess Hutchison - Artist
Since introducing The Artist's Wall, many of our patrons have been treated to pieces by the ever so talented Jess Hutchison. Jess' artwork is a permanent fixture in the cafe. Her bright and colourful prints adorn our bar area and have been very popular amongst our customers. All Jess Hutchison art on display in the cafe is available for purchase, inclusive of frame.
A little bit about Jess
Jess Hutchison is a self-taught artist based on the South Coast of NSW. She grew up in the Illawarra and now resides in the Shoalhaven.
Inspired by her surroundings, and with a deep love of colour, her vibrant artworks feature some of Australia's most colourful flora and fauna. She paints in a unique style that blends realism with quirky, loose and colourful lines - and she adds her signature linework eye detailing to most of her birds (a throwback to her make-up artistry background).
Working primarily with acrylic and Posca markers on canvas, she hopes to create a connection and evoke a sense of calm and happiness through her art.

Fairies by Suzi-o
Suzi has been a resident of Picton for nearly 25years. Her background was in office work, publicity and Insurance, however, her real love was in art. In her spare time she was either drawing, painting, writing or baking. Anything to release her creative side.
About 5 years ago she began to use her vivid imagination to create fairies. Her fairies are unique because they are all one of a kind!
Suzi only makes originals. Never two the same!
All her fairies are recorded, tagged, named and photographed, and they are all handmade by her. She loves to use recycled materials. All fairies come in different sizes too.
She also dabbles in felting and makes the odd little creature!
A few fairies are on display at Picton Social so pop down and have a look and support small businesses in the Wollondilly.
Suzi is happy to take orders, so get in touch for a unique and original gift that will last a life time.
