LESLEY HESLOP

Mixed Media Artist

I studied art at Didsbury College of Education way back in the 1970’s. I work in a variety of media including pastel, pen, acrylic, coloured pencil, watercolour, charcoal and sometimes mixed media.

I enjoy drawing and painting things around me, including everyday objects, but I also like to draw and paint landscapes, animals and birds. I am a member of The Wallop Artists and Lynne Pugh’s art group. I work from my home in the Hampshire countryside.

MONICA WILSON

Jeweller

With a life-long passion for the environment and conservation, Monica draws inspiration from the textures, shapes and colours of nature in the local area. Designed and hand made by her using a broad range of silversmith techniques, her collection includes life-like silver bees perching on flowers or honeycomb, cast leaves and seeds such as oak and acorns, hand-made flowers, enamel butterflies and even chalk-stream inspired brooches.

ALTA EDWARDS

Painter

Working in a variety of mediums -, acrylic, pastels but mainly oils- I create paintings of the subjects that I have a connection with: vivid flowers, landscapes, birds and abstracts. My subjects are varied but all my work displays my distinctively bold signature style.

I enjoy creating miniature paintings, but my real passion is working with large canvasses, creating paintings that tend more towards abstraction which allows my inner child to come out and play.

TIM THORNTON

Ceramics

Tim has been producing ceramics for 8 years, and exhibits at a number of events around the country. His works are based around the vessel, some being functional tableware and others more decorative than functional. He has a particular emphasis on surfaces, whether that is in complex glazes or raw wood fired work.

GEORGE GAMMER

Photographer

I started taking photographs six decades ago when in my early teens and it still seems magical to this day. For the last few years I have been working solely with analogue materials – large-format film and silver/gelatin prints. What is important to me is the physicality of a work mounted on a wall in a particular space.

Colin Marett

Wood Turner

I am fascinated by wood and I have enjoyed this hobby experimenting with interesting wood, some with amazing features and special grains and effects. Often wood could end up on someone’s fire. I manage to make something special by enhancing these imperfections. I love bird watching and this lead me to craft them. I also make platters, bowls, apples and pears. One of my biggest challenges is making wooden teapots incorporating glass and pewter.

RUTH BARON EZRA

Graphite Drawings

Ruth creates finely worked graphite drawings. She loves to explore tonal ranges and contrasts of light pitched against dark, whilst bringing out a variety of textures and detail within her drawings.

Subjects range from the natural world to the scenic, and historic and modern buildings, often using cropped images and seen from unexpected viewpoints. Unusual juxtapositions can also feature, where old and new, past and present sit alongside one another.

YASMIN FRENCH

Painter

Yasmin French is a contemporary British artist specialising in acrylic paintings of animals, landscapes, and scenes inspired by travel. Using acrylic paint, she explores colour and humour to create beautiful works of art. She is based in Hampshire, UK, but takes inspiration from travels across the world, taking photographs along the way.

Carla Vize-Martin

Artist – semi-abstract floral landscapes

Carla grew up in the New Forest. She has always been fascinated by nature’s vibrant palette, the rich variety of flora and fauna, and the subtle changes of light and texture.

Over the last ten years Carla has built her reputation as a leading floral and wildlife artist and illustrator.

LISA JOHNSON

Jeweller

Lisa creates beautiful, unique pieces of jewellery for you to treasure and wear forever.

She takes her inspiration from nature and the countryside around her. She likes nothing more than capturing items such as acorns, star anise and shells in her work.

All her pieces are designed and handcrafted in her studio, using a mixture of silver clay and traditional silversmithing techniques.

WENDY HAWKSWOOD

Oil Painting

Wendy Hawkeswood is mainly an oil painting artist who works with oil on canvas.  Wendy is also currently working on acrylic paintings, creating artwork that incorporates trees within a spacious wilderness, which is both colourful and calming, just what we all need during these times.  A local artist from Kings Somborne, Stockbridge who welcomes commissions.

Gabrielle Tait

Painter

I studied fashion design at Saint Martin’s and then worked as a designer in London.  After moving around with the Army for many years, Edward and I settled in Broughton in 1994. I started painting for recreation in 2012, mainly in watercolours, but also pen and wash, acrylics, pastels, charcoal and occasionally oils.  I like to tackle landscapes, seascapes, buildings and still life.  I also keep a ‘Doodle-a-Day’ diary with something topical or how I am feeling.

There will be a later exhibition in Broughton to show and sell more of her work.

Frances Fox

Mixed Media

I draw, print, stitch, make paper, books.

Photography is often a starting point, but so are interesting materials. I am interested in a sense of place, and the signs of passing time. Things are getting rusty…

Millie Burgess Silky Saluki

Hand designed cards and linen kitchenware

Amelia has been producing one-off cards and designs for some time, largely for friends and family – all bearing her hallmark quirky drawings. She was asked to help re-brand the local Pub in 2018 (The Tally Ho! in Broughton Hants) and the work she did there brought her a larger audience (albeit mostly drinkers in the pub).

Amelia decided to take the plunge in October 2018 and set herself up as a small artisan business designing and producing a small range of cards and tea towels. Success with this initial range at the Salisbury Christmas Market has seen an expansion of her range with adult and child sized aprons which she launched at The Country Living Magazine Fair. Silky Saluki Designs is named after Otta, her part-Saluki dog who is fairly silky…

Philpsy Garden Shed Art

Working in wood

Vic is my name and I love wood !

I have been working with wood since I left school in 1978.

Homemade handmade, household and garden items turned from wood. If it can be made and turned from wood, then I will do it.

Made with love, care and imagination.

Every item is a one off because of the nature of the wood. The wood has the final say and depicts the direction of the Chisel. With a little help from me.
