I use free machine embroidery and mixed media as well as Screen Printing, My work is vibrant, textural and illustrative. Human form and portraiture has always inspired me. Each piece of work has an element of hidden meaning and each piece is original.
I am passionate about narrative and colour and love the idea that people will find their own stories and fairy tales in my work.
I paint mainly in acrylics and have a surrealist theme to my paintings. I also draw scenes from every day life and my imagination. I like to explore different styles to create a variety of effects.
I have also recently started making candles.

I have always marveled at how a painting can capture a mood, steal a moment which would otherwise be private or create something new out of what might in fact be in front of you. My current work is a mixture of portraits and city scenes, all oil on canvas.
My first inspiration is nature especially plants, the way they look, how and where they grow and our homes within the landscape. I paint using water colours, acrylics and oil sticks. Each medium brings it’s own discipline. Oil sticks encourage me to explore more abstract images and physical ways of working with colour and texture.
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.
Electronic musician and visual artist. This year I am not showing any photographs although I have been obsessed with chasing bumblebees. I will be performing live electronic music with some other singers and musicians. You can hear what we have been creating lately at:

Bags, belts, purses & bespoke designs. Katcha Bilek designs & handcrafts her collection using re-appropriated inner-tubes, car seatbelts & bike tyres with surprisingly stylish, versatile & waterproof results.
I work primarily with enamels, using them either with copper or silver. I make a range of jewellery including brooches, earrings and pendants.
I am particularly interested in images from nature and organic forms, which can be seen in the wall plaques and hangings I produce.
Many of my pieces can be displayed as garden art as they are weather proof.
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.
I am an Argentine artist now living in Bristol. I have also studied Drama, Music, Trapeze and published a book with my poems and lithographs called “Resabio de las Fiestas”.
I’m now working on a new series of acrylics, oils, drawings, art jewellery and dolls, apart from dedicating time to the trapeze and to my new book. Most of my inspiration comes from my travels around the world, people, poetry and the circus.
My work is mainly acrylic on canvas, but I have also produced some mixed media pieces. I regularly exhibit in Bristol and have had work featured in the R.W.A. Autumn Exhibition.
I am happy to take commissions.
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.
Sinead creates embroidered portraits, screenprinted T’shirts and tote bags inspired by vintage patterns, people and lost possessions. The ‘Missing pieces’ accessories include individual corsages and hair-clips made from felt, lace and buttons and jigsaw piece badges to wear and share.
Terry Burke collects images from a variety of sources including landscapes, stone carvings, and ancient artefacts. Many of her images deal with ideas of timelessness, the changing world, balance and dreams. This series was developed from a 9th century stone carving and reworks the traditional view of angels. Her preferred materials are acrylic paint and pastel on textured paper.
Prints, cards and picture books.
Valentina’s textured and tactile collages are inspired by children’s stories and are made by combining recycled and hand painted paper.
