I make intricately textured abstract, drawings and mixed-media works exploring time, memory, and perception. My practice is process driven where meticulous layering and removal of materials have become integral to my work. In 2024 I won the Purcell Paper Prize at the Royal Scottish Academy, in recognition of my drawing.

Underpinning the imagery in my work is the idea that familiar, prosaic objects are always interesting, and can evoke something extraordinary.
Using watercolour, I paint everyday things such as cutlery, household equipment and vintage tools. I aim to portray each object as a stand alone piece of work - making the finished image a collection of homogenous, small individual paintings.

The inspiration came from seeing Chinese Lanterns (Physalis) in its Autumn form in my garden. Using graphite, rusting the paper, adding various minerals, natural seeds and shells I have enjoyed the process of creating on paper my Elements series.
Also lately using oils in a semi abstract way has been a new way of working.

Gary Dean Spencer

My recent paintings fall in two main series. One is landscape based, partly inspired by my rural surroundings, comparing the synthetic and organic, the observed and invented.

The other lies somewhere between illustration and abstraction, making chimera-like forms drawing on certain eclectic sources of meaning and imagery that interest me, while trying to avoid painting any one specific thing.

Gabby Harman

My practice evolves in drawing, colour, and texture, informed by a background in textiles. Influenced by florals and landscape, I build layered surfaces through paint ,collage and printmaking. By creating and disrupting textures, I explore new passages within each work, allowing forms to emerge intuitively through process, material and rhythm.

Fi Hunter

I create large figurative sculptures in bronze, stone, and Iron for galleries, sculpture parks and commissions across the country. Focussing on breathing new life into classic methods I experiment with texture and materials whilst expressing the fragility and strength of the human condition as well as our relationship to the natural world.

Danielle Fox

I am a ceramicist with over ten years’ experience, creating hand-built pieces inspired by nature’s quiet movement and flow. Working with varied clays and glazes, I craft soft, matte, velvet-like forms with organic shapes and muted palettes. Each piece offers lightness, tactility, and a calm, timeless presence.

Charlotte Martin

I create through fragments:mixedmedia, collage and life drawing torn apart and reassembled. Was shaped by the chaos of 1960’s London, I lived among artists, musicians who rewrote the rules.Returning to Art in the 90’s reclaimed me. My work is instinct, memories and rebellion stitched together, a scrapbook of survival.They are honest, they are mine.
