Having lived for many years in New York, artist Brenda
Murphy moved to the South West Coast of Ireland where she found
the landscape to be so beautiful. Landscapes, seascapes and flowers
are her favourite subjects. Nature being her inspiration, the changing
skies as the sun rises in the morning and set in the evening, the
first fall of snow or the first bud of spring.
 Maggie
Brooker's paintings explore the structure of pattern using mediums
highlighted with metallics and iridescent paints. Her main inspiration
at the moment comes mostly from colours that compliment each other,
and she is continually experimenting with designs and colours.
 Peter
Blakesley's unique style is characterised by his delicate use
of washes and colours. Peter likes to experiment with different
subjects, and enjoys reflecting not only the beauty of the countryside
around where he lives in Devon, but also his travels to other countries.
Truly wonderful watercolours - worth checking out.
Tim Habeshaw, exhibts
bold abstract paintings, highly textured with many layers. He works
'on the principle that the more layers applied the more likely fine
detail and a pleasing appearance will emerge eventually'. These
works would be a stunning focal piece in any home or work space.

 Rose
Karin James , an artist based in London, is interested in light,
and simplifies down its representation to the strong essential shapes
and patterns. In expressing her artistic inspiration, she quotes
Novalis, in that she strives "to give a high meaning to the
commonplace".
 Kasia
de la Motte finds inspiration from things she sees in every
day life. With recent work influenced by images of Earth from above,
her amazement in the variety of colours, shapes and diversity of
our planet is communicated in her paintings.
 Ian
Anderson is a self-taught artist inspired by nature, landscapes,
old buildings and architecture. Painting some well known beauty
spots such as the Falls of Dochart, Coniston, Grassington, Eilean
Donan Castle, Ian skillfully depicts light and water, and handles
balance in his compositions.
 Devon
based artist Elizabeth Nuttall's
life drawings are very inspiring and reflective. Using coloured
pastel paper as a base, she skillfully sculpts the figure in colour
and tone. Subtle, evocative, with great use of negative space. Enjoy
Elizabeth's work.
 Egyptian
born artist Sameh
Mankarious is now based in the UK, however his art richly displays
his Middle Eastern roots. Sameh has also intently studied the European
masters. In the spirit of classical art training, where artists
copied the old masters to learn their processes and techniques,
Sameh has created a wonderful copy of Manet's 'Olympia' that is
definitely worth viewing.
 This
watercolour by Alysia just
makes me smile. A lovely, quirky watercolour
based on an old photograph of Rowena Cade reading a book sat in
a wheelbarrow. Alysia's inspiration comes through the interpretation
of colours, the scenery that surrounds her, the love of sport and
the thrill of the chase, as seen in Alysia's horse racing and greyhound
racing drawings.
Essex based artist David Lellow
creates wonderful beach scenes in tropical blues. Distant clouds
on the horizon, blue lagoons, white sands going on for miles...a
paradise beach to hang on your wall.
