Meet The Artists
Kate Findlay
Inspired by the British countryside, I work exclusively in fabric to create scenes of gardens, landscapes and wildlife. I dye my fabric, creating interesting marks and accidental textures before cutting and collaging my compositions, using many layers. The work is finished using free motion machine stitching to create intricate detail and more texture.
Janet Richardson
Fine silver jewellery using beautiful stones with carved detail and textures plus gold accents.

Janina Maher
I make handmade books using a range of different book structures and a wide variety of materials including paper, fabric, leather and canvas. I also paint buildings in pen and watercolour of the local area. I also paint buildings in pen and watercolour.
Andrew Field
As a canoeist on the Thames, I am sometimes privileged to see Kingfisher, or at least a fleeting glimpse. Bright flashes of turquoise and gold are often all you see, rarely sitting perfectly still. From this darting flash of colour by the river bank, to the swooping kites over the Chiltern countryside, nature provides so much of my inspiration for work in watercolour and graphite.
Liz Baldin
I am predominantly a landscape artist, but paint various subjects in most media to keep my work fresh and to develop new techniques. Currently I am working in acrylic inks and watercolours and love how these work together. I have been inspired by the stunning scenery of the Scottish Highlands and Islands – especially Arran and Skye.
Linda Saul
My work focuses on landscape in its varieties – urban, rural, coastal and sometimes wild. I am interested in how the landscape changes with the passage of time – not just seasonal change but how the landscape is shaped by human intervention, environmental forces, climate change and nature’s adaptations.

Erica Sharp
I create delicate jewellery that is imbued with the symbolism and folklore of nature. Each piece is filled with a little magic from the forests and flora that inspire me. I make my pieces using traditional techniques with recycled silver, gold and precious gemstones. I work from my home studio in Berkshire.

Andrew Binnie
I started sculpting wood as a result of leaving my day job to fulfil my creative urge to craft sculptures from logs.
All of the wood used is ethically sourced from local tree surgeons or local landowners in South Oxfordshire and no trees are felled solely for this purpose.
My varied designs are inspired by local flora and fauna, and continue to evolve.
Clare Buchta
Clare is an award winning artist who loves to paint the land and seascapes of the British isles. Clare has developed a unique style of painting in oils, which uses thin layers to allow light to move through the painting.
She also specialises in a technique called monoprinting.
Sayani Drury
Sayani is an accomplished artist, best known for her floral portraits. She seeks to portray the essence and character of the flowers she paints in a vintage manner, reminiscent of the Dutch masters.
