WILLIAM PACKER
William has dedicated his life to the visual arts variously as Teacher, Critic, Curator and Author - and always as Painter. Fot the last 30 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.

DANIEL PREECE
Daniel's work celebrates the urban environment, from vast panoramas to intimate studies of the city. Composed in his signature vivid colour palette and exploring the boundary between abstraction and figuration.
'He finds in the modest familiar view, quite often scruffy and down at heel, so much that is remarkable and beautiful'

JESS QUINN
Jess Quinn creates surreal worlds, filled with colour and pattern, that mix the magical and the mundane. She weaves together memories and real events with fictional characters and places. Jess takes inspiration from art history and explores the role of women in art creating a unique vision of the world.
"I am not afraid to use colour and pattern and often employ an abundance of both'

CLARE PACKER
Striking, stylised collage and monoprint inspired by classical art and antiquity.
‘My pictures are perhaps not collages in the conventional sense. I think of them also as paintings.'

HENRY WARD
Henry explores the language of paint by investigating the threshold between abstraction and representation.
A seed of inspiration will kick things off - a colour, a shape, a gesture, a memory - then the journey begins. He’ll often return to a work, painting over, adding, re-working. Over time expressive rhythms of colour and form emerge and repeat.
‘I want to make forms that feel familiar but are unnameable, forms that feel as though we might recognise them but are not “actual things”.’
Cocktail II
2019, oil on canvas, 61 x 76cm , £3,100
ANN WINN
Ann Winn (1930-2015) was an instinctive and masterly colourist whether working in oil, watercolour, gouache, pastel or ink. Her subjects were landscapes and interiors which she could simplify to the point of abstraction whilst delighting in ornament, pattern and decoration. She was inspired by her extensive travels to Greece, Turkey, Nepal, India, Morocco and closer to home Wales and Suffolk and worked both on the spot and in her studio.
She has been described as a ‘Neo-romantic impressionist, with a touch of Bloomsbury at its best’ and a ‘latter-day fauve, unselfconscious in her debt to Matisse.'
Greek Landscape
c1995, gouache on paper, 50 x 60cm, £1,375
LAURA JANE SCOTT
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."
Works range from £350 - £3,600
Recess (Pink/Purple)
2024, interior paint on wood
24 x 20.5cm

DANIEL CRAWSHAW
Daniel's epic landscapes are inspired by his solo walking adventures in Snowdonia, the Pyrenees and the Blue Mountains in Australia. At first glance his paintings are almost photo-realist in a pared back almost monochrome palette. On closer inspection they reveal themselves as wonderfully painterly, verging on the abstract with unusual, close cropped angles and perspectives.
He first embarked on his 'Cloud Watching' paintings these during lockdown - starved of the mountainous landscapes he looked up and found solace and inspiration in the sky and its ever changing landscape.
Cloudwatching VIII

KATE SCOTT
Kate creates collages and mixed media paintings using tissues and Japanese papers, alongside painting and drawing. Her recent landscapes brilliantly capture the colour, light and atmosphere of the changing seasons on her regular walks on Clapham Common.

GABRIELA SZULMAN
Gabriela’s whimsical and surreal artworks are filled with humour, colour and evocative connections. From collages to fabulous articulated Art Dolls.

NIKKI WARD
Nikki's joyful and nostalgic paper-cut sculptures are created from found and bought vintage books and objects. Butterflies burst from a matchbox in a cloud of colour - a celebration of nature, movement and junk shops! Forgotten and discarded items are given a new story and a new lease of life - an exercise in transformation and preservation.
Finding A Match
2023, paper-cut sculpture, 21 x 40cm
£480
SELINA SNOW
Selina’s paintings are visual diaries, a response to meals shared with friends and family whilst travelling the world. She pays homage to food and its packaging from an array of countries. Celebrating the beauty and humour in both everyday and elaborate food - from a simple tin of pilchards to a fabulous Parisian patisserie.
