    Since my training at Edinburgh College of Art I have been inspired by nature. My mission explores the emotional symbolism of my subject matter and seeks to distil the image to enhance this. I am a slow meditative painter. This process puts me in touch with the healing spirit I inherited from the medics in my family. I want to help people find an inner sense of peace and connection with nature.

    I am a graduate of Reading University and the RCA. Currently I have a studio at APT in Deptford, London. I have exhibited continuously since 1977 both in terms of static installations but more recently involving projection onto objects. These include reconstructions of the night sky and orreries using 00 scale model railways. An online catalogue of small works and movie shorts support this.

    Josh is a kiln-formed glass artist based in North Yorkshire who specialises in vitrigraph murrine — a traditional Italian technique reinterpreted through contemporary processes. Blending precision with experimentation, his work explores the relationships between light, pattern, and form, resulting in one of a kind glass vessels and wall hangings.

    I am a graduate professional artist with BA Fine Art First Class Honours 2006. I'm inspired by the landscape and create work that abstracts what I see and experience. Often working en plein air I create dynamic & colourful compositions. I'm inspired by abstract expressionism with rapid expressive mark making & striking colours of Fauvism. I have a strong exhibition catalogue over 20 shows in 2025.

    Based in the UK East Midlands, I became a full time artist in 2019. Semi abstract in nature, my work combines a fine art background and a long held fascination with wood in all forms. Sustainability underpins my practice; resource management and contributing to art communities is very important to me. I consistently exhibit in UK galleries and have collectors across the UK, Europe and US.

    I am a sustainable textile artist and designer exploring the intersection of craft, storytelling, and wellbeing. Using embroidery, layering, and fabric manipulation, I transform overlooked materials into textiles that celebrate resilience. My work, often shaped by personal health experiences, empowers women and gives voice to hidden stories.
