Andrew Hardwick Mixed Media Andrew Hardwick Mixed Media Andrew Hardwick Mixed Media 1/1 Andrew Hardwick paints places that are lost or go unnoticed. The unspectacular, the ordinary often waste lands about to be built on. His paintings are filled with these edgeland landscapes, forgotten ruins,remote reservoirs on moorland even the occasional Amazon warehouse The work follows the romantic painting tradition and can be big sometimes over four metres long-sunsets, rain, storms also fill his textured constructions. Andrew also refers to his work as constructions, because typically they use found materials, soils on board, plastics, canvas and roofing materials. As well as of course paint, often decorators gloss. Some of his images evoke the more rural landscape that he remembers from his family farm. Now existing only in his memory or as he says ghost landscapes. The work challenges our complicated relationship with the land.

Using traditionally inspired techniques like bundle dyeing, shibori and resist printing, she draws both her inspiration and her materials from nature - taking influence from organic form and texture; the beauty of pattern, colour and geometry within the natural world.

Laura Fox Printmaking Laura Fox Printmaking Laura Fox Printmaking 1/1 With a passion for print and pattern that started while studying my graphic design degree, I hand print contemporary multi layered lino prints from my North Somerset studio. I have developed a graphic printing style that is strongly influenced by local landscapes, travel and the details of nature, aiming to brighten up the world with a little bit of colour. Every design is meticulously hand carved, inked and printed for each colour individually, building up the layers to create the original print.

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.

Gemma Lane Painting/Drawing Gemma Lane Painting/Drawing Gemma Lane Painting/Drawing 1/1 My name is Gemma Lane. I studied Fine Art at Oxford Brookes University in the early 2000’s and then became an Art and Photography secondary teacher for 15 years. In the evenings I would explore and experiment with acrylic paint and had one of my pieces accepted in the Bath Fringe Art Exhibition in 2011. I became a mother to 2 boys in 2013 and 2016. After my second son was born I started my business Green Fox Workshops, offering art workshops in Bath, Bristol and Somerset. I now run this full time, teaching people of all ages from ages 7 up to 87. I have returned to oils and some early conceptual ideas from my university days. Preservation, the beauty in decay and that death is inevitable. The painting ‘Beauty in death’ depicts this well and is an area I am going to explore further in my own work. I am interested in the vulnerability and fragile aspects of nature and how this can be shown. I really enjoy being outdoors and seeing the changing seasons and painting with acrylics, watercolour and chalk pastels landscapes that surround me. I love the contrast of the seasons, the intense lushness of the summer, compared to the winter, where everything is dormant and more barren. I take my own reference photos or paint plein air.

Sarah Souter Painting/Drawing Sarah Souter Painting/Drawing Sarah Souter Painting/Drawing 1/1 With a background as a Graphic Designer and a successful business selling graphic prints of the local area, Sarah has returned to her love of painting. Motivation to paint comes from noticing the dramatic and the colourful in a landscape and a desire to do more than take a photo, to somehow capture in paint the intense colours and the atmosphere of a place. She paints plein air whenever possible and finishes works in her studio using acrylic and oils. Website: Facebook: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sarahartdiary/ Email: sarahsouterart@gmail.com
