Bob's
work is predominantly landscape although the figure
has always been important to him. Bob has exclusively
worked with oil paint. However, during the past five
years he has also experimented with acrylics. Bob builds
up multi-layers of transluscent colour on fine watercolour
paper.
Peter
has spent 20 years as a professional Graphic Artist
(trained at Barnet College of Art and Canterbury College
of Art (now Kent Institute of Art & Design (KIAD).
He has only recently progressed to painting, something
he finds tremendously rewarding and quite a contrast
to commercial art & design which always has to meet
someone elses' requirements. Now he is revelling in
the freedom of producing art for himself.
Ken
Gillam working in watercolour and acrylic, principally
marine subjects but also the occasional landscape. Self
taught, and unencumbered by the strictures of a formal
art training, he is driven by his love of the sea, which
is reflected in his work. This has resulted in over
a hundred paintings and commissions both in the UK and
America.
Light and shade
has fascinated Brian ever since he picked up his first
pencil and started drawing as a child. Brian soon learnt
that the most wonderful method of expressing light and
shade was via the human form.
In 1972 David immigrated to Yugoslavia. David had always had a flair for painting and drawing and started to paint on canvas for a year or two until he discovered the technique of reverse oil painting on glass. David became fascinated with this technique and studied it in Zagreb while visiting some of the more famous Croatian naïve artists such as Mijo Kovacic, Ivan Generalic and Ivan Lackovic who lived just outside Zagreb. David studied their individual techniques and over a year or two perfected his own style.

Mark started painting in 2005, and works in oils and acrylics. He worked for a number of years in the Space Industry, and some of his images are inspired by images of Space.
Jarvis
is 61 years old and have been drawing and painting on
and off as long as I can remember. I studied fine art,
including sculpture and pottery, at Chesterfield College
of Art in the late 1950's - early 60's.
Sayuri
was born in Peru and brought up in Japan since she was
11. Both cultures have influenced her work to some point.
Sayuri usually gets inspired by the people she knows,
she wants to express her feelings through portraits,
figurative paintings, through their expressions.
Ian
is a self taught artist who prefers to paint Wildlife
especially Birds. That said Ian's paintings show the
subject in its environment so this calls upon his skills,
observation and knowledge to paint the whole scene whether
a full land or seascape or the individual leaves on
an Oak tree.
