'Early morning, wandering in my local landscape, I notice small seasonal shifts and variations; the quiet beauty in natural commonplace things, rarely celebrated. My paintings are inspired by what I see around me, the transient and the temporary: the form of a tree, the lines of stems, the intricacies of birds in flight, and how they enchant the space around.'
Inspired by the landscape surrounding her Cambridgeshire studio and the Lincolnshire fens of her childhood Melanie finds remarkable beauty in the familiar. Using a combination of traditional and modern methods Melanie creates striking, contemplative landscapes reflecting the transience of nature and memory.

Playful and expressive abstract paintings celebrating everyday acts of love. Using repetition, hidden layers of colour, fragments and erasures Jess explores the complex mental, physical and emotional loads that are involved in raising a family and keeping connected.
'What makes a good abstract painting? It has something to do with believing it is necessary rather than willed, that it is meaningful even if you can't put it into words. Jess Blandford's work has these qualities, as well as fleshy, sensual colours and brushstrokes, reminiscent of Willem de Kooning.' - Jonathan Jones Art Critic for the Guardian.

William has dedicated his life to the visual arts variously as Teacher, Critic, Curator and Author - and always as Painter. Fot the last 25 years he has focused on still-lives.
Each 'a little world, a tiny city, a paradigm and parallel reality to be explored in the imagination and realised in the act of painting'.
William works in natural light on fast surfaces using a muted colour palette. A regular cast of characters appear in his work often alongside ephemeral wildflowers. The painting and composition can change radically during the process of reconciling space, form and light onto the two dimensional surface of the canvas so the finished image is not always quite what it seems to be.

Laura’s work is a hybrid of painting and sculpture. Her focus is minimalist, geometric abstraction exploring architectural form and colour. The sleek, even coloured surfaces are painted delicately so that they are free of gestural brush strokes and fields of saturated clean-edged colour appear to float on the surface of the wall.
"My aim is always to express an idea as simply and as elegantly as possible. To strip everything back to only what is necessary to communicate that idea. My work is primarily an exploration of balance, of positive and negative space, of presence and absence."
