My work is quite diverse and generally leans towards abstraction.

Often inspiration is drawn from things that evoke a powerful visceral response - the ground beneath our feet and the sea.

I like to experiment with style, media, colour and scale, and sometimes even let the paint dictate the subject matter. This often results in some surprises. Digital media is also something I enjoy, and I’m hoping to have prints of some of my digital works available for my open studio weekends.

I have been painting, drawing and creating art ever since I can remember - I was the child who wanted sable brushes and turpentine for Xmas, when all my friends asked for a Cindy Horse! I grew up in North Yorkshire, and attended Harrogate College Of Arts, during which time I worked in theatre as a scene-painter, before starting a career as a stage manager. I have been working in live events production since 1993.

ARTIST STATEMENT

My work is primarily but not exclusively concerned with what lies beneath us - the subterranean layers of every moment in time, now obscured in abstract strata and passages of sea which hold mystery, comfort, primal power, sustenance, energy, dreadfulness, awe, the fantastic, the macabre. Liminality, where the passage of time perpetually forms everything that ever existed into the intermingling of rock, water, precious minerals, gases, and, inevitably, where all life ends up. I seek to explore concepts of underground caverns and waterfalls, oceans, great cathedrals of secrecy, stable, fragmented and volatile abstractions formed by the incessant pressure of time. This is where history dwells, in a world we cannot see or touch, but we know exists beneath our feet.

After early success in my late teens, exhibiting and selling at the Mall Galleries in London life then became busy with work and family commitments. Forty odd years passed quickly without the time for much art, but I have been working full time on my art now for the last 3 years.

I taught myself lino printing and dry point etching. My speciality is hand made limited edition prints, also original paintings and drawings. These sell online, you can visit my shop to see my work at www.artfinder.com/margaret-mallows. I regularly publish new work. You can also find me on Instagram @margaret.mallows where I often post work in progress photographs - people like to see the process in making prints.

Inspiration for my art comes from life around me, and places I visit. I like to try different subjects and occasionally inject some humour into my work - art doesn't have to be serious! My artwork has sold to many countries across the world. Buyers have come back to me with fantastic feedback, and purchased more of my work, and my art is currently in 17 different countries worldwide.

My work is based on experimentation with materials such as inks, charcoal, marker pens and gouache. There’s an element of play, chance and unknown in this process. Most of the works are created on paper with pen and ink.

I was born and raised in India. Every year I create a series of work related to my roots. These arise on my annual visits. My inspiration is the intense colours, architecture and sarees worn as traditional attire. One of these works is currently on display at city gallery, as part of Vivacity Open 2019.

I consider myself a doodler, hence the name madoodl.

I am a self taught artist and enjoy creating art of animals, nature and landscapes. Mostly working in pastels and coloured pencils, or oil and acrylic paints on wood, I also love using new mediums. I take commissions for pet portraits, scenery and buildings, murals, furniture painting and wooden signs. I work from clients' and my own photos, which I sometimes combine to get the final pose.

I have taken part in the Sky Arts programme, Landscape Artist of the Year 2021, as a wildcard entry at Chartwell House in Kent.

My work is on display and for sale at Fens and Coast in Spalding (https://www.fensandcoast.co.uk).

Throughout the year, I have been producing lots of landscape paintings in oils using palette knives and brushes. It has been fun to paint in 'plein air' and be outside. Alongside this, I have produced a lot of work on reclaimed wood, and have continued with my pet commissions.

SANDRA HARPER www.artharper.com
I STARTED PAINTING with relish in 2010. Now at every opportunity I have a paintbrush in my hand. Everything seems to demand exploration. Consequently content, size, technique and style are continually changing.

[caption id="attachment_4494" align="alignright" width="236"] Lee Bay, North Devon. Oils on canvas. A small private beach with enormous rocks, beaten by the sea during winter months.[/caption]

[caption id="attachment_6206" align="alignleft" width="396"] Naomi's Family. This painting was a commission and is a metre square. I thought about the characters in the family and matched flowers to each of them. For example, the delphinium, just left of centre represents a strong, upright member of the family whereas the red amarylis is a family member who is flamboyant and loves Christmas.[/caption]

INSPIRATION can happen at any time, anywhere. As a result paintings range from splodges to naturalistic landscape; from portraits to body forms; from complex compositions based on text to simple emotion expressed on canvas.

Take a look at my website for current work.

[caption id="attachment_6337" align="alignleft" width="404"] The Wave. In Lee Bay, North Devon the waves crash against the rocks and opn the beach. Lying in the sea and looking along the wave, I saw an eye. This is my take on it.[/caption]

Stuck at home during lock down, but my studio is at the bottom of the garden so it's not all bad.

You might know me for my many paintings of dogs and the seaside based on the north Norfolk coast. And I still paint those things. But this year I have been working on a very new series of paintings, which I can't think of a title for so it remains the Working Title series.

I've posted sneak peeks of this new work on my facebook and instagram feeds , so do have a look. They are also on my website

You'll find paintings related to all the wonderful things and places I've been privileged to experience recently. And yes, that does include the occasional seaside or two, plus arid places and leafy green rolling hills.

I look forward to opening my studio again in 2021 , so see you then!

Prue Pye's 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."

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.

[caption id="attachment_6289" align="aligncenter" width="562"] Mixed Media (Commissioned by The ADHD Foundation, Liverpool)[/caption]

A mixture of new locally inspired pieces alongside my recent award winning work celebrating the gifts/talents of the ADHD community. Varied and purposefully random as ever. My artwork is for sale via my website www.heartwork.co.uk and https://www.artintheheart.co.uk/marketplace/

My featured artwork 'Reigning ADHD' was commissioned by the national charity, The ADHD Foundation. Limited edition prints are still available (25% proceeds going to the charity). The artwork was inspired by the 'Umbrella Project' which is an installation created annually in Liverpool (and now Manchester also) to raise awareness surrounding neurodiversity. I was over the moon to have won the charity's 2018 national 'Artist' award.

I am very passionate about the cause behind the ADHD charities as I was diagnosed myself with ADHD in 2009 whilst employed as an Art Teacher. My life has improved significantly since my diagnosis and I rely on my creativity heavily as one of the strategies to keep my ADHD 'symptoms' at bay. I was one of the first adults in the UK to be diagnosed with the condition and my work has become entwined with reducing the stereotypes and stigma surrounding this most misunderstood of conditions.

I'm a children's book author and illustrator, currently working on my eighth picture book (my seventh was published in January by Hodder Children's Books). I work predominantly in watercolour, soft pastel and collage, and love to draw animals!

Having spent much of my time at school doodling covertly on the last pages of my exercise books, I went off to do a degree in Graphic Design at Bath Spa University, specialising in illustration, followed by a Master’s degree in Children’s Book Illustration at Cambridge School of Art. After graduating in 2007, I began to write and illustrate picture books alongside teaching art classes in a primary school, during which I invariably managed to get more paint on myself than the children did!

Now fully freelance, I create books and run children’s art classes from my studio (see Art Stars), ably assisted by my basset hound, William.
