Helen Aitken-Kuhnen is known for challenging the
conventions and excelling in her chosen fields. Her work is held
in every major institution in Australia as well as international

been included in significant exhibitions both nationally and
internationally. She is the founding director of Bilk Gallery for
Metal and Glass, a contemporary gallery that has been running
for 19 years, first in Queanbeyan, then Manuka and now in
Carwoola.
With a career spanning 43 years, she has never
been one to let boundaries get in her way and is well known and
respected across the fields of metal, glass and enamel.

Steve Allen is a versatile guitarist who completed his
Bachelor of Music at the ANU with Tim Kain. His debut CD About
Time was selected as CD of the week for ABC Classic FM radio’s
‘On the Veranda’ segment. In his own words, the CD’s content is
‘a collection of pieces that represent some of the musicians who
have inspired me to love making music’. His latest release was

is demonstrated through projects such as ‘Gift of music’ wherein
he provides music lessons for young people who are unable to

and hearing impairment.
