Dungog By Design “In the Frame” is proud to present this collection of works by Gaye Shield for the month of February 2026.
Gaye Shield is an award-winning artist based in Dungog, NSW. Painting has been her lifelong passion—she began at age 11 and has been exhibiting for over 30 years. Deeply inspired by the people, animals, and landscapes around her, Gaye’s work often blends vibrant colour, expressive brushwork, and touches of humour.
An Associate Member of the Royal Art Society of NSW, Gaye has won numerous awards, including eight first prizes, and has exhibited widely across Sydney, the Hunter Region, and nationally.
Gaye draws much of her inspiration from her rural community and the Australian landscape, as well as from still life, flora, fauna, and occasional abstract explorations. In “The Farm Yard” series, Gaye has produced some delightful miniatures and two larger paintings, her love of animals clearly evident.
