Meet the Exhibitors

Looking forward to meeting you to share insights into the inspiration and techniques that make the work so unique. 

Zosia Olenska Anderson

Zosia’s work combines elements of landscape, architecture and nature with richly textured gold leaf. Bringing tactile organic surface together with multiple layers of gilding, her paintings are a celebration of the decorative object.

Sarah Luton

I use oil, watercolour, pastel and charcoal with various subject matter; landscape, portraiture and still-life. I work en plein air where possible, enjoying the challenges of changing light and weather conditions. I believe the experience of full emersion in my surroundings, taking in the sounds and smells, along with direct observation, helps me capture the atmosphere for my painting.

Olivia Bossert

My painting and mixed media work is rooted in watercolour, using intuitive wet-on-wet techniques to let colour move, bleed, and soften. After fifteen years as a fashion photographer, I no longer document what I see, but reimagine it by capturing atmosphere, emotion, and beauty rather than form, through a layered, intuitive mark-making process.

Lu Willis

Lu Willis studied at Chelsea College of Art, London. Her work examines the sculptural forms of beautiful flowers, their colour, form and space. Described as ‘flower portraits’ they are an intimate expression of each bloom. She has shown widely in London and in Europe and is collected across Britain. This is the third year Lu has shown at this venue.

Laura Jane Wylder

Laura Jane's elegant limited edition sculptures range in scale from small tabletop a handspan high, to impressive larger lifesize pieces for the garden.
Predominantly figurative, the collection also includes serene faces and wildlife.
Each sculpture is powerful yet elegant, as such they suit both classic and contemporary surroundings. The use of unique patinas adds interest and individuality to each piece.
‘I hope the simple organic curves and peaceful nature of my sculptures will offer the viewer a sense of perspective, and serve as a reminder to appreciate and revel in the wonderful world around them.’

Justyn Fowler

I am a hobby woodturner and over nine years have progressed from beginner to master class turner at my local club. My finished pieces grow from the unique potential each piece of raw timber presents. My work often contains resin highlights, textures and colour to bring the design to life. I am also passionate about creating unusual lamps.
