For 10 days in October, end of season for most riders in this part of the world, Torch Motorcycles hosts a celebration of our communities and those individuals inspired to tinker, craft, mod, and build by hand. A collision of design, engineering, fabrication, craft and creativity… and the relationships that sustain them — the Handbuilt Motorcycle & Surf exhibition is a place to appeciate beautiful motoycycles and boards, meet kindred souls, and explore innovative ideas.
The Handbuilt Motorcycle & Surf Show is an inclusive experience. If you’re a novice or purist, a rider or contemplating becoming a rider, we’ve pulled together the kindest and most generous individuals whose DNA compels them to share more than you can stand about their bikes, boards, apparel, and the rides they love. We are all about the flow sports and we guarantee you’ll see ‘amazing’ and learn something new.
And, most important to Torch Motorcycles, this is a place for women. Whether you’re happiest as a riding partner, on your own machine or board, or are looking to dip your toe into the sport in a safe and encouraging space, the Handbuilt Exhibition is for you. We have the best and brightest young engineers, experienced gal builders and riders, beautiful bikes that are better builds for our bodies, and the best apparel designers in our community.
Enjoy having a close look at the programming and we look forward to seeing you in a few weeks!
]]>The exhibition will focus on works that reflect the various paths of multi-dimensional consciousness, beautifully designed, an expression of the shifts the human spirit goes through, the connections to our surroundings, the story that goes beyond the edge of perception.

SECOND SUMMER GALLERY EXHIBIT IS ON, featuring Tammy Fischer, Jae Sterling , Kellie Hampton. For prices on art works, contact gallery directly.
Tammy Fischer:
” Movement, vibration, random thoughts and good music. While the images have played around in my head for a while, ruminating and developing, as soon as I started putting the paint to canvas I fell into a pattern and enjoyed the freedom of exploration and movement.
Playing to the music and thinking only of pattern and vibration I let the images develop from
experience and that sense of pushing the painting till it feels right.
Numbers, letters, colors all seemingly random but with deference to the past and a pattern that would seem illogical to the viewer; I am the only one, it would seem, with the key.”
Jae Sterling:
“There was a music video channel; I forgot the name of it. I used to watch it before heading out to school every morning. Most kids drank cereal or watched cartoons; I watched music videos while I polished my loafers. Then there was 106 & Park on B.E.T after school. It was the most popular music video countdown on TV at the time and I would watch it religiously. I would change the channel on the commercial break to catch up on some of my favourite Anime series. You might notice that some of my work has a hint of the Manga/Anime drawing technique. These animated series played a huge role in helping me create my own style.
I grew up in Jamaica, where although Hip-Hop/American music was loved it never really influenced the culture as much as the Jamaican Dancehall scene. I was one of the few that it really had a major impact on. It influenced how I dressed, how I spoke and now my art. Most of my art is rooted in Hip-Hop music and Hip-Hop music videos. I have been drawing the faces of rap music for a long time. The back of my math notebook in high school would be filled with song lyrics and the faces of Rap masterminds.
Another thing I did back then, was to try and make my friends famous. I would buy paper, staple them together and recreate my favourite Hip-Hop magazine at the time. I would draw them on the cover and write small articles about what we did the night before. Today I am putting them along with famous rap stars in my first exhibition. Some of the portraits are actual screen shoots from my favourite music videos. Now some of my friends are actually on their way to becoming famous musicians, so I made portraits of them too. The show is a tribute to the back of my math notebook, a dedication to the music genre and the short films that influenced my life”.

SERIES: Prairies & Elephants
The Praires … I was born here. The big sky comforts me. The images I see in the sky … The animals, the deities, the shapes, the designs. The vastness of the land … The patterns and composition I see in the landscape when flying over it, the sunrises and sunsets … It all takes my breath away.
Elephants … There’s Ganesha, with her big head to think big, big ears to sift the bad from the good. The story of Ganesha teaches us how to remove obstacles. Other elephant references ring true … The elephant in the room, elephants that paint … Elephants are incredible.
I get inspired, it fills me up and then I paint.
First Summer Gallery exhibit, we are excited to present Tammy Fischer’s new vibrant works.
