Based in Guildford, Sarah's work is a response to the landscapes in which she walks. Mostly working in acrylic, she captures the elemental nature and energy of a place rather than recording a literal interpretation.
" I like to contrast elements of tight, structured paint work with loose, atmospheric washes and gestural marks."

Nigel Sharman
Originally from the South West of England, Nigel's work is heavily influenced by the landscape and culture of Devon and Cornwall.
Nigel uses oil paint on canvas and has particular concern for colour and composition. He works with a limited palette of often muted colours which are built up over layers.
"While my formal artistic education took place in Brighton, I put my real education down to being dragged around Cornwall as a small boy by my father and introduced to work by Alfred Wallis and Ben Nicholson."

Ruth Taylor
Ruth Taylor originally trained and has a degree in Printed Textiles. Now living on the Surrey/ Hampshire border Ruth has returned to painting. Her training as a textile designer is evident in her work. Using oil paint on board, Ruth applies paint directly to the surface and moves it around with brushes, combs and her hands. Her work takes the journey from the open heathland through the South Downs where she spent her childhood, down to the coastline of Cornwall.
