Elizabeth Bennett
I am a young passionate artist who enjoys exploring and experimenting with images and colour. I love the immediacy and vibrancy of acrylic paintings and photography, but also find comfort and relaxation in the detail and accuracy of drawings.
My work is varied, colourful and influenced by the beauty I see in this world!
Heather Attwood

Paintings in watercolour & acrylic.
Hilary Finch
I am largely a watercolour painter of landscapes, houses and anything that takes my fancy. I was living on Paros, a Greek island, a year ago where I was an active member of IPAC (International Paros Art Community) and had a successful exhibition with this group. Previously I have been a scene painter at the Theatre Royal in Bristol and later had a business designing and making all kinds of clothes and costumes for individuals.
Ilsa Fatt
I have been obsessed with the colours and translucency of glass beads since first wandering into a Californian bead shop over 10 years ago. I make woven bead jewellery, creating organic sculptural forms with colours that merge into and reflect one another. I also work with fused glass, and sometimes incorporate fused glass into my woven beadwork. My inspiration is the ocean, and the myriad life forms that inhabit it.
James Atkins
Lost and forgotten slides found in Bristol’s backstreets converted to print.
James Bragg
I have varied passions of painting, creating rhythmical video images and electronic music. I play mainly synthesisers and the music is electronic varying from trance to chilled. I perform projected video images as a live improvisation to music and have worked with DJ’s rock bands and orchestra.
There is a crossover with my painting, often taking on VJ forms and exploring a relationship with music and rhythm.

Marie Claire Diaz
To paint is, for me, essentially to play. Donald Winnicott, psychoanalyst, says ‘It is in playing, and only in playing that the individual child or adult is able to be creative and to use the whole personality, and it is only in being creative that the individual discovers the self.’ (Playing and Reality) I play with colour, texture and abstract composition in the hope that I will create an evocative, but simple and harmonious whole which satifies me and reaches others in some way.

Neil Edbrooke
With an old but remarkably good box camera I travelled around the world several times, cranking out large format slides. Years with a faithful SLR then gave way to the digital age. I love the new creativity and control this brings. Image-Release, my photography logo, aims to convey the truth that a good picture doesn’t simply capture something, it releases and provokes what is unseen, in imagination.
Owen Clarke
Printmaker
Owen Clarke experiments and explores new methods in woodcuts. In his most recent pieces, he has used raw pigments to achieve a vibrant range of colours. Owen hand-prints all of his woodcuts in the traditional Italian way of the wooden spoon. He works in small editions of 15 or below, which maintains the originality of his work and pushes it away from the mass produced.
Paul Brooks
I work with wood, mostly turning but also some carving & pyrography. As well as working with a large variety of woods, I enjoy incorporating other materials into my work – colours, stains, metallic and other enhancements. I also paint in acrylics & water colours.
Penny Clark
I seek to question the assumed objective view of people and place.

Robyn Coetzee
An eclectic mix of glass artwork/jewellery, icons and butterfly images on metal.
Sharon Fogarty
Sharon currently works with Silver, Gold & Brass, or a mixture of the three. Combining different metals within a piece gives each piece an interesting dimension. Her other great love is etching which gives each piece it’s own unique style as my etching is produced in free hand so no two pieces are the same. She is happy to work on commissions.
