Mrs Waldron is recently retired and has been painting and sketching from an early age. She paints in Oils, Acrylics, Pen and Wash and Pencil with varied subjects, including landscape, seascapes and wildlife.

John Wallace is a mature, successful and popular UK artist who works in a contemporary figurative style. Painting mainly in acrylics on canvas, he specialises in portraits, animal studies, architectural works and landscapes, all of which reveal his unique perspective on traditional figurework.

When Alan first started painting, 10 years ago, he started using watercolours but quickly changed to oil paints. He finds the colours and blends of colours work better for him.

Walter moved to St Andrews from the west coast of Scotland in 2006. He became fascinated by the picturesque coastal towns and villages, the quality of light, and the big skies. This has encouraged Walter to return to painting after a gap of many years and the paintings on display are the result.

Peter is a leisure painter and has been painting in oils for the last 5 years or so. His work is painted either on canvas or Gesso prepared boards. Peter usually works in an “alla prima” style and likes to use brushes pallet knives and fingers!!

After a varied career which has included, sales, catering and a stint in the army Mark has decided to return to his first ambition which was always art. Mark has drawn and painted for most of his life. All his work is currently waterr based acrylics on canvas.

Jackie generally paints with watercolours, enjoying their subtlety and pastels loving the vibrancy (and the messy fingers!). Jackie's style depends very much on the subject matter and the medium. Watercolour portraits have tended to be fairly representational whereas their pastel equivalent a little more impressionistic.

When painting portraits David tries to create a striking unique image of the sitter both physically and psychologically. Trying to capture human emotion frozen in time. He also produces contemporary almost dream-like images from experiences and references. David generally works from photographs as he feels this is a good way to instantly capture the sitters emotion.

Jo is a Graphic Designer and Illustrator who is inspired by sunny days and loud music. Using a combination of photography, hand rendering with pencil, charcoals and inks, and digital manipulation she likes to create images that are bursting with life and energy.

Patricia was born in Maidstone, Kent in 1953 and now lives and works on the Essex/Hertfordshire border. Self taught with advice from her father who is an artist in Cornwall, Patricia totally looses herself in her paintings and is amazed how the time flies by so fast. Patricia mainly paints using oil although occassionally she uses watercolours. She especially likes the 'wet on wet' technique using these mediums.

Sue's work is inspired by just about anything and everything. She paints in both representational and abstract styles. Sue loves abstract painting because it frees the imagination of both the artist and the spectator. In her semi-abstract/ representational work she explores symbolism.

Terry studied art and design for many years and has a HND in design and illustration. He tends to work more with traditional media ie. Acrylics, gouache, pen and ink.

In 2003 Rob had his work selected for the Pitching's Art festival where it was highly commended, he was invited to become a full member of the British Watercolour Society in 2004 and at the summer exhibition 2005 was elected to of Fellow of the International Guild of Artists. This he regards as a great achievement as you are elected by your fellow artists on the quality of your paintings.

Julian is an amateur artist who has always painted sporadically, however, when he retired some years ago he took up painting more seriously. Inspired by the American artist Georgia O’Keefe, Julian painted flowers, helped perhaps by the fact that he had a garden full of them!

Clive usually works with acrylic paints on box canvas, but sometimes likes to experiment with different media. Clive has always been influenced by the Abstract Expressionist brigade of the 50's, so his paintings tend to be 'about' something rather than 'of ' something.

Self taught apart from a few correspondence and residential courses, Lesley has been painting as an absorbing pastime for 16 years. Over this time Lesley has developed an interest in botanical painting and animal studies, particularly horses, for which she will happily take commissions.

Anne is a 'Sunday painter' without formal training who enjoys painting tremendously. Anne would have used my artistic abilities much more but for the restrictions of available funds. Most of her work is on the walls of family and friends. Now she would like to widen her horizons.

After leaving university with a degree in illustration, nearly a decade ago Simons work has become more abstract which he feels allows him great freedom in his work. Simon begins his work with no preconceived ideas of what he is going to paint, this results in work that is spontaneous, organic and totally original.
