Philip a British abstract artist studied Technical Drawing and won two school prizes at 'O' & 'A' Level. Went into Structural Engineering when art was literally 'put on the back burner'-'becoming an artist a pipe dream...' But in 1993 some life drawing classes in Cambridge changed everything. "I began to love the freedom of just making marks, the symbology in line work, my own designs and precision." Pip Steel is my given artist's name and I produce limited edition prints from extensive digital artwork, selling original works at shows which are inspired, reflective and always involves a lot of recycling. During the venue open hours I aim to create or complete some pieces and will be available to discuss my working methods.

Paul Joseph-Crank - Urban landscapes, figurative compositions and still life in oil, acrylic and mixed media. Exhibiting in the Peterborough Artists' Open Studios this year with The Gidding Group, I studied fine art in Manchester before taking up a career in graphic design and illustration. I work from sketches and photographs, using them as a drawing aid to create images in paint or print. Over the years I have been represented by galleries across the UK and exhibited in Art Fairs in the UK and Europe. Recently I have been concentrating on still life drawings and paintings. Set up in the studio they allow me to work from 'real life' and to experiment with light and composition. Visit paulcrank.co.uk to see more work and for latest exhibition updates. Paul Joseph-Crank - The Gidding Group The Gidding Group of artists are Krystyna Wojcik, Sue Jarvis, Geoff Goddard and myself who are exhibiting in Luddington, next door to PAOS artists Carry Akroyd and Gordon Monk. We warmly invite you to visit. Together with our PAOS fellow artists we have parking, wonderful home baked cakes and refreshments in a beautiful garden - and loos!

I have been creating for many years. I graduated from the University of Life Sciences in Poland. There I began to see the beauty in nature. I started designing gardens. I have painting deep in my soul, and I started painting here in England. I see joy in a colorful garden and want to bring the same mood to the gardens. Many call my style as close to Abstract Impressionism. During my studies, I began to explore Europe in search of inspiration. The German Black Forest, the French Montmartre in Paris, vast fields of tulips in the Netherlands, the Basque culture in San Sebastian, the world of art galleries in London, and finally, the artistically sensitive society of Artists in Peterborough - all of this influenced my charming way of treating colors as a reflection of my mood at the moment. Painting is one of the elements of the sensitive person's environment. Added to it are the plants in the garden, their scent and shape. Sculptures upon which a curious robin always perches, showing off its reddish breast. And woven into all of this are the Lilliput Line cottages, which I collect - completing the enchantment. I invite you to visit my paradise.The mentioned painting works best in the environment of people seeking tranquility and understanding of their surroundings and themselves. In the disorderly colors and techniques, they can find their own memories and solace for their souls. That's why over 20 of my paintings are a constant therapeutic element on the walls of the Central Medical Centre in Peterborough. They immerse patients in contemplation and surprise. Such is also the aim of my life: to provide people with art in a form that makes them feel good. This ensures a well-designed environment both in the garden and at home or work. https://youtu.be/-WV78vhEWEA

Inspired by true tales of nature, place, history & people.  A warm welcome to my garden studio! You'll be able to see miniature sculptures inspired by sea-creatures of The Wash, skeins of wool dyed with local plants, handmade greetings cards and much more... plus a host of true stories about our local area! Plus my 'Meadow and Sea' porcelain decorations. About Kathryn... I create sculptures and other artworks that share little-known stories of nature and place, working alongside wildlife charities, experts and museums. My work is often shown on-site. It's research-based, and I select the materials and techniques that best tell the story.  I also create beautiful handmade treasures for people's homes, and run workshops that nurture creativity and delight in nature. Workshops include NatureCraft online creative gatherings. Currently Artist in Residence with Langdyke Countryside Trust, much of the work you'll find in this year's Open Studio is inspired by Langdyke's nature reserves and the wider 'John Clare Countryside'. For the last two years, the site of an ancient forgotten meadow has been the focal point of this work - Westings Meadow is now a place of nature reserves and gravel extraction. Neolithic families once gathered here and Victorian poet John Clare walked and wrote about this place. If you can't come to any of my Open Studio dates, please get in touch to try and find another time.   Exhibitions, Awards, Events & Workshops... I have exhibited at The National Centre for Craft & Design (solo and group exhibitions), and created site-specific artworks for Burghley House, University of Leicester, John Clare Trust, Derby Museum’s porcelain gallery and on nature reserves. In 2012 one of my artworks was selected for “Inspired by…” exhibition at the Victoria and Albert Museum, London. I'm a selected member of ArtCan,  Artist in Residence with Langdyke Countryside Trust and member of GroundWork NetWork based at GroundWork Gallery, Norfolk.
