Jelena Kalmane is a Contemporary and Embroidery Artist, who is based in Peterborough. Her distinctive personal style emanates joy and peace and expresses the vibrant spirit and atmosphere which is inspired by nature.

Landscapes, waterfalls and flowers, forests and parks, and farmers tending to their fields are all brought to life with contrasting and harmonious colours and bold compositions.

As the artist explains, “Art-is a path to my soul. My landscape paintings are connected to the places where I have been happy or sad. It is part of me, part of my life and my history”.The artist not only paints with acrylic paint but also, uses embroidery and mixed media in her work. She applies the strengths of her medium to achieve rich velvety surfaces. Her mixed media technique makes her artwork look volume and textured.

 

Her practiced technique conveys a sense of immediacy and harmony that we feel with our natural environment.With utmost proficiency, she invites us to view the world the way how she sees it, with bold bright flowers and powerful waterfalls where you will find a piece and harmony.

Water colour and Mixed Media

I began my watercolour journey during lockdown, through online tutorials. (Thank you to Jean Haines).   I’m inspired by colours, light and texture, and constantly searching for the best way to depict them on paper. I never tire of watching the unpredictable nature of these pigments as they react with water.   I prefer to paint without any preliminary pencil sketch, letting the painting dictate what is needed.
For me Watercolour is about the process,  and discovering what works, and most often what doesn’t!    I’m a bit of a magpie, in that I’m easily distracted by  shiny new techniques and  approaches.  Wanting to try them all.   One day I might find what my actual style actually is!
  I have made a number of greetings cards, using some of  the different techniques I have been exploring


 

 



I love to inspire people and invite you to my garden studio to look at and discuss my work.   Are you interested  in having a try  with these paints?    Let me know, as I’m  considering organising some taster sessions.   I don’t offer tuition, as I’m still very much learning,  but I  can certainly  offer  the chance  to experience  some of the  properties  of these amazing paints.

RH Prints aka Ruth Hudson is an experimental print maker and painter. Her original linocuts are printed on an 1856 lithograph press from her home studio in Stamford.

After studying Combined Arts at Newcastle University, Ruth went on to train at the Chelsea School of Art and the Leicester Print Workshop. Her work is influenced by her previous career working in Interior and fashion magazine production. She is inspired by German Abstract Expressionism and Bauhaus Aesthetics. Ruth has produced prints of many local landscapes including Burghley House, Normanton Church, Oakham Market Square and distinctive buildings in an around Stamford. Ruth uses the 'reduction' method of printmaking, favoured by Pablo Picasso who coined the term 'suicide printing'. Her work is often bold and graphic and hopes to reflect current trends and, quietly, offer a form of social commentary.

Ruth also holds Beginners lino print workshops throughout the year. Her next event will take place on 6th June at The Blonde Beet in Stamford http://www.blondebeet.co.uk

You can subscribe to Ruth's newsletter to be the first to know about forthcoming events and workshop via http://www.rhprints.com

RH Prints aka Ruth Hudson also screen prints a limited edition t shirt and sweatshirt range using her original prints. Using eco friendly inks, the designs are printed on to organic ethical cotton. Ruth is hoping to have her new collection ready in time for the Peterborough Open Studios.

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.

Welcome to my Art
Living in the Fens I am surrounded by the geometry, shapes and colours of the flat plains of the landscape which often feature in my art. I work across many mediums, including watercolour, acrylics and collage; all of which can be viewed on my website.

'Reclaim' Project
Every single work of art ever made in the World has been influenced by images and ideas that came before it. ‘Reclaim’ is a series of artworks comprising acrylic painting and collage on rustic reclaimed wood, incorporating recycled steel, discarded garden ornaments, preloved jewellery and found items from the local landscape.

Something is created, nothing is destroyed, everything is transformed

Saving the planet one piece of art at a time.

I hope you enjoy the images here and on my website www.karenharrisonart.com

I am excited to be working with stockist: Baytree Owl and Wildlife Centre, Weston, Spalding.

Currently I am exhibiting in the Visitor Shop, Ferry Meadows, Nene Park until 15th October.

Look out for me later in the year, exhibiting in the Peterborough Museum and Spalding Sessions House.

Fundamentally my work is all about drawing and mark making; I find it difficult to separate myself from their vitality and importance whether I choose painting, collage, printmaking - or a mixture of the three, ‘Drawing’ is what it continues to be about. ‘Drawing’ with a paintbrush or in collage ‘drawing’ with shapes of paper and colour. Setting in motion the development of an idea plus a sense of renewal and continuation.

Valued and much missed member, the late Sue Keen was an artist and maker and had stitched ever since she could hold a needle. For many years Sue was on the committee of Peterborough Artists’ Open Studios and she exhibited with PAOS for well over a decade. Sadly Sue passed away last year, and it’s at the wish of her daughter Kerry that some of Sue’s work will be shown during PAOS for one last time. Her work in textiles and mixed media took inspiration from nature and what she saw around her. Her love of combining different techniques and materials included beading, collage and both hand and free machine embroidery. She liked to experiment and enjoyed learning different ways of working and also found joy in helping and teaching others to find their own way within craft and art.

Sue’s work will be on display at her friend Prue Pye’s venue.  Any money raised from sales of Sue’s work will be donated to charity.

In Sue's own words:
'Fabric forms the base of much of my work along with stitch and embellishments to create art works based on nature. I also manipulate fabric and stitch to create wearable art, continually developing processes for unique items.

I have developed bead work incorporating goldwork embroidery. I am still basing work on natural forms with the use of colour and texture in the forefront of my work. It is a time consuming process as each bead is sewn on individually to form wearable pieces of art, in this case brooches.

Looking forward to welcoming you back to PAOS 2024
Decorative and functional ceramics and evocative semi-abstract paintings will be on display.
My paintings and ceramics investigate structures, shapes and colours inspired by our natural world. The detail and pattern often overlooked in our busy lives is of special interest. I love how texture allows a play of light and shadow on the surfaces of my work. My aim is not to attempt to mimic nature but rather describe the qualities of a subjective experience intuitively, thereby encouraging the viewer to ‘feel’ their own interpretation of what they see in my work. My garden has become a bigger canvas for my artistic expression and is open for you to explore and enjoy.
Delicious homemade treats available which can be enjoyed in the picturesque garden where mosaic will be on display. Proceeds from refreshments donated to Sue Ryder.
“Hand-building clay into objects inspired by nature’s forms and structures is an extension of my textured, atmospheric painting".

I strive to create a beauty in imperfect harmony known in Japanas Wabi Sabi: Enjoying the moment and life’s simple pleasures...I hope these hand-built objects bring simple pleasure.

Sea, Sky and lanscape inspire my work.

These richly textured  and atmospheric paintings are semi abstract and expressionistic.



Rather than mimic nature, I prefer to describe the qualities of a subjective experience.

Prue’s Paintings
Prue Pye's life paintings contain a quiet presence reflected in earth colours and are the main body of her work. Abstracted landscapes described in sweeps and blocks of colour are also a favoured subject.

"My wanting to paint is a wanting to explore the ordinary and extraordinary of humanness. Drawing or painting in ways that communicate or speak of recognition and familiarity."

Collaged pieces have become a renewed addition to my current work. I use painted pieces torn from my own work, or monoprints prepared on tissue. These torn pieces are added and worked over or through into the background usually towards an abstracted landscape

 

About Prue
Born and raised in Africa, my fine art studies as a mature student led me to discover and develop life paintings with a contemporary feel. A need to express myself in colour gave me a language in paint. I had taught botanical studies and the modelling of flowers for many years and these tiny, fragile pieces later     turned to the direction of larger, expressive painting.

I am a mosaic and textile artist working in Peterborough. In mosaics I use hand cut patterned, plain and mirrored glass with recycled ceramics. I create panels for indoors or outdoors, mirrors, vases and hangings. 

I just love experimenting with colour and its interactions in my mosaic and textile work and both feed off each other. In 2002 I did a 5 day intensive mosaic course under the tuition of Luciana Notturni at www.mosaicschool.com in Ravenna Italy. Although based on traditional methods it gave me confidence to experiment and find my own style. I love mixing glass with old ceramics, anything really that makes a piece cohesive. With textiles I layer silks and sheers and create new surfaces which I then free machine stitch.

A warm welcome to my 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 more!

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.

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...

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.
