Joanne's work has been inspired by the amazing and very natural beautiful, botanical world around us. Her collection is a mixture of colour, black & white and sepia limited edition flower, plant and nature inspired photographic fine art prints, captured mainly using natural light in their own setting.

Ian is a keen amateur photographer living in Yorkshire. The majority of his photographs are of landscapes/nature - mostly taken in or around the North of England.

Rudie works in oils and pastels but has also started to develop his use of Acrylic and found the texture ideal for experimenting as he likes to work with different subjects so he can capture the atmosphere with light and shade in his work. One way Rudi likes to work is using small pieces of cut up mount card used as a palette knife experimenting with different methods and techniques.

Karl is 45 years of age and a self taught artist living in Dorset. Working in oil and producing giclee prints of his original work. Karl started painting as a hobby, producing his first painting in oil in 2000.

Sylvia is an enthusiastic self taught artist who works primarily in oils on canvas however she is currently also developing her techniques in using acrylic paints also on canvas.

Having had no formal art training, but having had a working life in building, Peter has a great love of structures and their settings. Now living on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales, Peter was inspired to try his hand at pastel and pen and ink work.

Colour is Rachel's strength. She eschews many of the traditional rules, so freeing her creative ability to apply her skills with any tools or media that take her fancy. Consequently her range of work has expanded to encompass working with mixed media, watercolours, acrylics, oils, aqueous dispersant, pastels and inks.

Robert Maddison

Robert began painting watercolours that were often the size of traditional easel paintings and beyond, with the degree of development and detail pushed to extremes. Because of this and the depth of colour and range of tone his paintings give the impression of being painted in a more substantial medium. His subject matter is usually still life or floral, although he says that he is not interested in the subject matter, which is just an armature for his ideas.

Peter was born in 1949 and has drawn and painted since childhood. He had some Art School trainging in his late teens but is mostley self-taught. After having many different jobs Peter settled for a career on the railway, but has continued to paint all my life both for himself and for commission. Now semi-retired Peter hopes to devote even more time to his first love.

Chris was born 1953 in Nottingham, East Midlands, where he has lived and worked most of his life. Landscapes and seascapes in oils make up a large part of Chris's work. But, if something inspires him he will paint it, what ever it may be!

Marlen tries to capture the beauty and atmosphere of a place at a moment in time. Recent work has focused on the many empty croft houses in the landscapes of Sutherland, and a series of seascapes attempts to portray the ever-changing light and colours of the many beautiful sea lochs and coastal areas of Scotland.

Gillian specialises in painting and drawing animals, both wild and domestic, and buildings in watercolour, pencil and pen & ink. She has been painting and drawing since childhood and has over 16 years experience working with watercolour.

Jonathan is currently doing a practiced based Fine Art PHD at Duncan of Jordanstone, in Dundee. His influences include William Blake, Paul Nash, Serge Danot (Le Manège Enchanté), and various west coast American painters.

Rob has been involved in art from a very early age, painting his first work in oils at the age of just seven under the guidance of his father, George Miller, a prolific Lancashire artist. Since those days art in all its forms has been a significant feature of Rob's life as an artist for the last 45 years.

John is fascinated by how simple rules can generate very complex patterns. The most interesting patterns are in some way figurative - that is, they contain information that we see as ‘things’ (or parts of things). This illusion is why art "works", and why we don’t see the world as it really is, as an interlocking tessellation of impossible objects.....

Stephen paints 'en plein air' because he feels that it captures the immediacy and freshness of the Scillonian landscape. He is strongly drawn to colour, occasionally painting well-known island views but always with a different and perhaps unusual perspective. Preferring the traditional use of watercolour to produce sweeping atmospheric skies and sea, Stephen does not use body colour in his artwork.

Bee has an attractive style of painting that is colourful, atmospheric and sometimes very impressionistic. Having taught in many locations throughout the world, Bee is a watercolourist with a large selection of images that can be painted on the darkest days of winter giving her students a touch of beauty from any season.

Tricia originally studied art and design at Walthamstow School of Art and has a background in fashion. She now lives and paints in Kent, working in various media but her first love is painting with oils.
