painting

I find pleasure in carrying on the very British tradition of watercolour painting. As a landscape artist I find inspiration from the rugged Cornish coastline to the white sandy beaches of Northern Scotland. A selection of my work is displayed in my gallery.

Christine is a painter and illustrator working in a variety of mediums, including oils, acrylics and watercolours. She is happy to accept commissioned work can be contacted through her e-mail address.

Christine was born in London and studied at St Martins School of Art. She went on to be a Greeting Card Artist for Academy Cards until she had her two daughters when she became an art teacher in senior state school and the independent sector. She currently runs adult classes.

Cheryl takes commissions in many different mediums and subjects including portraits, animals, landscapes, still life and work from imagination. She has produced scenery for many theatre productions and also murals. Christine has exhibited in America, Hong Kong and the UK.

Contemporary artist Palak Patel finds inspiration from her Indian heritage and from everyday observed patterns and shapes. The artist’s process favours acrylics and mixed media such as modelling paste and gel which is applied in thick textural strokes that give her artworks a rich, three dimensional quality. Gold and silver leaf is another important element for Palak’s artworks, a signature statement that adds texture and reflections of light which change depending on the time of day you are observing the piece. 

Palak is continuously experimenting with materials to find new ways to express texture on canvas and endeavours to evoke feelings from the art she creates.
