Born in Beijing and raised in New Zealand, Yuge is David Bromley’s most passionate collaborator. Despite a career change from lawyer to fashion designer being seen by some as an unusual fork in the road, creative pursuits are in Yuge’s mind the perfect path to walk.

After years of finding her wardrobe increasingly filled with designs that were her own and with craft always having been a constant throughout her life, a thirst for creative adventure is now what Yuge strives for.

These days, Yuge’s greatest passions lie in building an incredible team and work environment, laying foundations to achieve remarkable outcomes in the art studio and being a championer for bringing art to broader audiences.

David Bromley was a high school dropout, a surf bum, and a two-time suicide survivor when he discovered art. It saved his life.

Born in 1960 in Sheffield, England, David Bromley is a prolific Australian artist best known for his painting and sculpture, in particular his portraits and his paintings of children, birds, butterflies, and female nudes.

After beginning his career in Adelaide as a potter, David emerged on the Australian art scene as a self-taught painter in the 1980s, and has since been named one of Australian Art Collector’s 50 most collectable artists. Bromley is a six-time Archibald Prize finalist and has had more than 30 national solo exhibitions since the beginning of his career. His works have been shown in Tokyo, Paris, London, South Africa, Singapore, and New York. They also appear in many private and corporate collections across Australia including the state galleries of Western Australia and South Australia.

Increasingly in demand as a portrait artist, Bromley has painted several Australian celebrities such as actor Hugo Weaving, singer Kylie Minogue, model Megan Gale and arts patron Kim Bonython. In recent years, Bromley has diversified his work to include furniture and interiors.

In 2014 he founded Bromley & Co with wife Yuge Bromley. In 2019 they acquired the Castlemaine Goal, with the vision to create an arts precinct.
