Tanya Alsop Various Tanya Alsop Various Tanya Alsop Various 1/1 Inspired by her passion for flowers and nature, Tanya uses pressed flowers and foliage to create original artworks and fine art Giclée prints. Whenever possible she sources local sustainably grown flowers and foliage which she presses by hand using her own homemade presses. Every design is unique in its composition, placement and colour and is meticulously handcrafted to show off the intricate and vivid details of the flowers and their structure. Plant species of various forms, shapes and textures are used to instil a sense of depth, movement and interest, many of which are hand- picked from Tanya’s own cut flower beds in North Somerset. Each piece celebrates the beauty of nature and its abundant gifts.

Tina Dodd Various Tina Dodd Various Tina Dodd Various 1/1 An artist whose main interest is in the landscape. Tina’s inspiration comes mostly from the Mendip Hills, where she has lived with her husband for nearly 30 years, and often involves working her way through lots of iPad photographs taken on her walks or through the window on car journeys. This has become an important part of her creative process. “Colour can be a distraction for me and so I work from the images to produce monochromatic drawings in charcoal or graphite. These materials help me achieve the wonderful contrasts of light and dark that I see in the landscape.” In recent years Tina has been exploring printmaking techniques, in particular monotypes, as a medium through which she is able to achieve the changing moods and contrasts of light and dark that she finds. Further afield nostalgic memories of holidays on Exmoor and the dramatic landscape of Dartmoor have inspired Tina to find a way of expressing those feelings. Given that drawing is at the heart of her creative practice yet wanting colour to play a part, Tina finds that mark-making with vibrant pastels allows her to do this in a manner that suits the way she likes to work. Tina has had work selected for, amongst others, the Friends of the Royal West of England Academy exhibitions in Bristol and the Bath Society of Artists Open Exhibitions. She runs regular art classes in her village and is a visiting art tutor to various local art groups. More information can be found on Tina’s website.

Anna Warsop Painting/Drawing Anna Warsop Painting/Drawing Anna Warsop Painting/Drawing 1/1 As an artist, I am inspired by the aerial landscape and maps, which allow me to view the world from a unique perspective. Through my paintings, I aim to evoke a sense of wonder and awe, inviting the viewer to see the world through my eyes. My work combines elements of abstraction and realism, blending the intricate details of maps with the flowing lines, patterns and textures found in nature. My process derives from photographs taken from commercial flights, satellite imagery and the study of maps. I use a varied combination of acrylic paint, collaged hand made papers, photographs, and mono prints, often sanding back the surface and applying glazes to create a rich surface. I gained BA hons in Fine Art (painting) first class from UWE, returning to gain an MA in multi disciplinary printmaking in 2008. I have exhibited nationally and internationally in selected exhibitions including, Royal Academy Summer Exhibitions, Mall Gallery Originals Contemporary Printmaking Exhibitions, RWA Annual Exhibitions, and Marzia Frozen gallery Berlin. Public Collections Bristol Museum and Art Gallery International Graphic Art Foundation, New York, USA Cadeques Contemporary Print Collection, Spain Bristol City Council Cheltenham and Gloucester Contemporary Print Collection.

Michelle Lucking Painting/Drawing Michelle Lucking Painting/Drawing Michelle Lucking Painting/Drawing 1/1 Michelle Lucking is an award winning, international pastel artist specialising in realism to create large scale, beautiful seascapes and underwater portraits. Her art explores the contrasting raw power and calm serenity of the differing states of water, and the technical challenge of capturing both its translucency and movement. Lucking’s interest extends to both the anatomy of water and the human form, and how the 2 interact; how light and water refracts the human form into abstract shapes dissected by light and shadow that still resemble a person. A keen sea swimmer and photographer, Lucking draws on her own reference photos and immediate experiences of the sea and swimming to recreate and convey the emotions and narrative of water, using both realism and scale, and capturing light and movement, to draw the viewer into her paintings. Her work is collected and exhibited internationally and in 2017 she won the prestigious Annie Longley Award at the annual British Pastel Society exhibition. She is brand ambassador for the internationally acclaimed pastel company Unison Colour, and has been featured in several magazine publications including Artist and Illustrator. In 2024 she was approached by the acclaimed whiskey company The Macallan and produced 6 paintings for their estate collection, one of which was then featured on the packaging of a limited edition whiskey.
