Working mainly in oils and covering a wide range of subjects, Tom has gained a reputation as one of Britain’s foremost figure artists, finding in them the most demanding though rewarding of subjects. Painting in a manner not unlike that of the impressionists, and using glazes and scumbles, Tom draws directly with the brush, never veering far from the natural colours and forms he find inspiring.

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.

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.

Rachel aims to create bold, vibrant, emotive and energetic canvases. The paintings range from representational images to textural abstracts, from wildlife to majestic coastal scenes with a great deal in between. Rachel likes to think that the use of striking colour is the defining indicator of her work.

David has been a freelance photographer for almost twenty years, having previously worked in banking. David mainly submits images to various photo libraries. Subject matter is fairly eclectic as he tends to photograph anything that appeals to him. This goes against the mantra of “find your market first and then shoot accordingly”. Now living in a scenic part of the UK, on the edge of The Cotswolds, it seemed logical that this area would be the source of inspiration.

Carol is a self taught artist who is totally committed to her art, sharing her experiences with local art groups and informal workshops. Best known for her colourful landscapes of the East Anglian countryside and coastline, Carol also likes to paint other areas of the British Isles, particularly the West Country, the Welsh Borders and Scotland.

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.

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.

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.
