Our team

Cherylyn Russell is ARTSHOP’s Director. Cherylyn’s career in the arts, framing and display industry began in 1990 at Mosman’s Notanda Gallery working alongside Director Angela Luessie and Notanda’s small, all-female team of framers and consultants. Within five years Cherylyn accepted the opportunity to work amongst the framing and display team at Artarmon’s Amarisco under Manager Jill Blee and moving on to manage the Framing division on Jill’s retirement, overseeing growth especially with the business’s recording industry clients and learning about specialised engraving and display element techniques from neighbours like Harry and Jacob Kuijian at Arrow Signs. Cherylyn’s interest in, practice of, and dedication to, artwork care through museum-standard framing techniques was fostered during this era and was, and remains today, the philosophical foundation upon which ARTSHOP’s services are provided to its loyal and highly valued clientele some 24+ years after making ARTSHOP her own in 1999.

Lucinda Steele is ARTSHOP’s Manager and has worked with ARTSHOP since 1996, prior to Cherylyn’s management and directorship. Lucinda, known to family, friends and ARTSHOP’s customers as Lu, is relied upon by literally hundreds of South East Queensland artists, arts collectors, investors and makers for her empathetic advice and customer service, her skilful, stylish and confident framing design and her execution of truly beautiful custom framing. You will love Lu’s style, kindness, generosity and sense of humour.

Rebecca ‘Beck’ Scudder, ARTSHOP’s Assistant Manager, made Cherylyn’s dreams come true when she visited ARTSHOP in 2010 to further her custom framing career. A stunning woman resembling Dante Gabriel Rossetti’s ‘Proserpine’, Beck is fastidious in her artwork handling and custom framing construction. Her years of careful and caring hands-on framing experience, combined with her innate craftsmanship and attention to detail, ensure that Beck’s framing design and execution are rewarding for her customers for decades to come.

Once an ARTSHOP girl.....ARTSHOP personnel enjoy long tenures and skills and career growth and we consider our team members to be family.

Thank you to Cath, Paulani, Megan, Angela, Naomi, Grace, Susie, Steph, Amanda and Denise for your service and friendship over the years.
