Frances Browne, oil painter and abstract
artist.
I paint my recollections from the experiences I have when being
out and about in the countryside. I am inspired by the precious,
fleeting moments of encounter that I have with wildlife and by
the wonder of flight, birds, and bird migration patterns taking
place throughout the seasons of the year.
I find inspiration from the picturesque
Cotswolds in the west of England which I like to explore
with our faithful, scatty family friend - a cross springer-border
collie called Sarah.
I produce small 6"x6" canvas
art which are studies in oils of paintings
of birds . I also use mixed media when producing my contemporary
abstracts on large art canvasses.

Katharine Dove -mixed media artist.
Katharine, (Kate) lives and paints in
the Cotswolds, Gloucestershire.
Kate loves painting big, and vibrant
mixed media canvases. She uses enamels and acrylics on her large
stretched canvases.
Her free, confident style is very apparent
when you watch Kate create her pictures, which, with a swirl of
paint, adeptly applied to the surface of her canvases, Kate's
paintings emerge and crescendo into the colourful, bright paintings
of flowers, landscapes and street scenes of the towns of the Cotswolds.
Katharine gathers her inspiration from
the surrounding landscapes, towns and the unique villages of Gloucestershire
in England.

Andy Lloyd -acrylic and watercolour artist.
My portraits often feature models from around the world, who
kindly give me permission to create elegant paintings using images
from their portfolios.
My specialty is creating a shallow depth of field effect on canvas.
This creates a distinct varying degree of focus throughout my
paintings.
This technique works well for portraits, and types of still-life.
I also enjoy quite strong colours, which is ideal when using acrylics
as a medium. I am 'artist-in-residence' at the Norfolk House Dental
Surgery, London Road, Gloucester. I am also a published novelist
and science writer. I have appeared on television, radio and featured
in numerous magazines.

Glynn Griffiths - Sculptor
"My work considers materials seemingly at odds with each
other". "Between the organic and inorganic, between
the Natural and the Man-made".
Glynn's work appears to have an intended function alluding to
an implied, yet undefined practical purpose.
He recently graduated Fine Art - MA, and received the 'Clifford
Chance Sculpture Award'. This annual award is given to an artist
to install a site-specific 3 dimensional work in the main foyer
of the Clifford Chance building in London.
Glynn previously worked as a photo-journalist for the 'Independent'
newspaper London, until he left to do an MA in Fine Art. Glynn
pursues his long held passion today, - working as a full time
sculptor.
