Karen paints traditional landscapes in pure watercolour,
and have found the work of the Victorian watercolour
artists to be very inspirational. She also paints
slightly abstracted landscapes and tree and flower
paintings using watercolour and acrylic inks for bolder
colour mixes.

Renwick is an artist who lives and works in Edinburgh,
and has painted now for over twenty years. His main
interest is in the landscape, with varying light and
weather conditions, which is a constant inspiration
through the changing seasons.

at the Edinburgh College of Art - Dept of Continuing

After
completing a textiles and design course with the Open
College of Arts, Sandy realised she was intrigued by
the marks made on paper for the design. Sandy works
with acrylics, pastels, textiles and photographs and
she always 'abstract' a section or part of something
that appeals to her.

and educated in Tallinn (Estonia). Her work is mostly
abstract, she interperts the surrounding world according
to her vision attempting to create unique combination
of shapes and colours.
