|
| Matthew Sewell |
Matthew is fascinated by the process of extracting the essence from a scene, abstracting it slightly from the reality to enhance its impact. Mainly painted on location initially, sometimes reworked in the studio, at the moment he works almost entirely in water borne media; watercolour, pen and ink, acrylic, water soluble pencil, etc. |

Art teacher enjoying creating his own paintings now.
Alan tends to work in watercolours and sometimes pastels.

nature and views of local scenes.

| Graham Shaw |
Previously a landscape painter of the Lakeland Fells of Cumbria, he has now found inspiration from the creativity of a colour flow technique in abstract form. He produces a wide range of abstract styles with blending shapes, soft colours and bold colours. All of his paintings are tactile, some with a smooth touch, some lightly textured and some heavily textured in their finish, adding an extra dimesion to his work. |
 |
| Helen
Shaw |
Helen's
inspiration comes from life and travel, the latter being
quite frequent and worldwide. Helen's best friend is
her camera which she uses to record images and pictures
for her work. Helen would divide her work into two themes.
The first as purely artwork and the second, generally
abstract, as design in terms of interior furnishings
and as such she responds and changes to current trends
and styles. |

series of floral designs to complement todays contemporary
interior decor. |

| Mark
Sheeky |
Mark is a surrealist oil painter who uses imagery and symbols from the
conscious intellect and the dream world of the unconscious to convey complex
ideas and emotions. Painting since 2004, Mark's subjects and techniques
continue to evolve but like poems many of the paintings are about personal
situations. |
 |
| Meryl
Simms |
Meryl enjoys painting
with pastels, watercolours and acrylics and draws her
inspiration from the surrounding area. Meryl paints
landscapes, buildings, houses and gardens, but her favourite
subject is flowers, which she especially likes to paint
close-up. |

capture the imagination.

Jenny
paints predominately in watercolour as the vibrancy
and transparency of the medium always excites her. Much
of Jenny's inspiration is drawn from plants and nature
because of the way the intricate shapes and patterns
interact with each other. |
