Anita Klein might say the same of her art. There is a grand simplicity to her works, but that is not the same as saying that they lack subtlety and ambiguity. On the contrary, they have the sort of unselfconscious directness that comes from living and breathing art for so long that it becomes second nature” John Russell Taylor, The Times, London. -“A strong, quirkily humorous depiction of quotidian events” - Nick Andrew, Galleries magazine -“The pictures, which celebrate the small moments of life which often go unappreciated, are warm, witty and quite delightful” - Julia Weiner, Jewish Chronicle -“It is quite brave not only to have a subject matter to your painting these days but also to be fascinated by such ordinary things. There are no desperate attempts to shock, expose or outrage; simply poignant moments showing the things which you would most miss if they were taken away from you” - Helen Smithson, Ham & High. -“Celebrating oases of joy in the quotidian, Anita Klein builds a personal archive, brimming with charisma and wit, that can be identified with by everyone” - Britart.com -“It is nice to have a real humorist recruited to the ranks of gifted painters. She is to be congratulated on livening up our dreary lives” - Guy Burn, Art Review. -“Star of the show for me is the spare, knowing, subversive and comic work of a young painter called Anita Klein” - Godfrey Smith, Sunday Times -“A blithe demonstration of intimacy” - William Zimmer, New York Times -"She is an artist of extraordinary verve and lyrical touch...These images are mirrors of a resonant delight in the moment, an exuberant and infectious love of life. Unfashionable as it is, Anita Klein’s work actually makes us happy." David Carpanini PRE -“ Anita Klein renders the ordinary existence into a celebration of life - mostly based on her family. Her style is remarkably and unmistakably individual - her brilliant palette (based on her Australian childhood?), great compositions and draughtsmanship (hardly to be attributed to the Slade - when she studied there, figurative art was out of favour) all reveal a highly committed and uncompromising artist.” Agi Katz, Boundary Gallery London -‘I know she’s got a quirky scale and that the figures are larger than life,’ says Jenny Groom, owner of a cookery school in Wiltshire, who bought one of Anita Klein’s oil paintings five years ago, ‘but it just accentuates their personality. The painting I have is called "Tuesday Evening", and it shows two women sitting across the table from one another, each holding a glass of wine. You just know they’ve got rid of their husbands and the kids are in bed and they’re having a good gossip, and it makes me laugh every time I look at it. She observes the minutiae of family life - the little things we do that are important to us. If my house was burning down, this is what I’d save.’(Quoted in the Telegraph Magazine 2004)

Jay Rechsteiner who also works under the name Tobleroni was born in Switzerland in 1971 where he spent his childhood. In his early 20s Jay immigrated to Japan with his wife where he devoted his time to the study of art. About six years later he got divorced and set out on a journey through Asia back to Switzerland where he settled down for two years working as an artist while taking art courses at the College of Art and Design in Basel. Jay came to London in 2004. He exhibited internationally in Japan, France, Italy, Switzerland, Portugal and in the UK. Jay Rechsteiner is first and foremost a painter who is constantly questioning art, the art world, political & social events. There is a deep philosophical aspect in his work that manifests itself in a wide range of different paintings of various styles from crude, urban collage-style images to more sophisticated techniques based on computer-based graphic design. Under the name Tobleroni Jay works together with Victor 'Torpedo' Silveira AKA Sardine using the label The Monkey in the Box Company. This collaborative art project produces a vast amount of paintings of a very refreshing style challenging the contemporary sense of art and beauty. Jay Rechsteiner works also in other media such as video, video performance, installation and conceptual projects mainly exploring and defining what art actually is. He now lives and works in London, UK.

I was born in Belize to Jamaican parents, where I lived until age four and spent the remainder of my childhood in Jamaica. My experience of life and art in Jamaica has had a huge impact on my work particularly my use of colour and love of found objects. It was in Jamaica where I first gained my fascination with everyday scenes and discarded materials. As a third-world country there is a wonderful imagination when it comes to finding new uses for objects and materials past their original use. In 2000 I completed a three-year studio arts program in Vancouver, Canada and went on to complete a BA in Painting at University of the Arts London in 2004. I have since worked as a freelance artist based in the UK where I have been invited to exhibit my work in both the UK and Europe. I have previously worked as a freelance draftsman, mural painter and artist in Canada and Jamaica. I have received a number of awards and honours during my artistic career. These include an award from the British Columbia Arts Council in Vancouver, a grant from the Urban Community Trust for a mural commission based in a London inner-city housing estate and produced with the help of a group of young people from the local community and a scholarship from the Salzburger Sparkasse Bank.
Since attending Dartington College of Arts in Devon in 1977-8 as a mature student, I have worked consistently as a painter and a muralist in a variety of media, both in the UK and on the Continent. I held solo exhibitions in Torquay in the 80s and between 1989 and 1994 whilst travelling in Europe, exhibited work in several galleries in France and on the Algarve. In the 90s, as a member of the Salon des Peintres on the Ile de Re in France, I participated in summer exhibitions with much success, and sold through local galleries on the Island. I exhibited for some years with SAG Galleries in London and held solo exhibitions in many Kent venues, including Tonbridge, Sevenoaks, Dartford and Sidcup. Since moving to Romney Marsh in 1999 I have taken part in local exhibitions, held open studios and participated in the South East Open Studios event, held in June each year. I display my paintings in the Old High Street in Folkestone during the summer as part of a scheme for the regeneration of this historic area, and am a a member of the Romney Marsh Art Society and Forge Art Society.
Paul Marshall-Keyes has been a self-studious patron of the arts and photography since a young age, drawn especially to the form and tonality of 'colourless' photography. Paul combines his love of photography as an artistic medium with his spiritual and emotional attachments to nature and the landscape. Paul strives to ensure that his work gives more than it takes, thus helping to ensure that the landscape remains intact for many generations to come. This encompasses various initiatives including the use of papers, mounts, frames, and the such-like from sustained sources, minimising energy usage, and using ‘green’ transport where possible to reach intended destinations. Paul possesses qualifications in Art and a Diploma in Photography, and has been practicing his craft for a number of years. Paul's art has been sold to a number of private buyers, and he is now beginning to actively pursue exhibition opportunities both in the UK and abroad.

I learnt to paint and draw at my mothers knee. She was a professional painter and illustrator. But my first career was as an actress ,and it wasn't until some time later that I started painting professionally, as a muralist. I painted commissioned murals for twenty five years,-clients including Mohamed Al Fayed, Ozzy Osbourne, The Forte family and Cherie Lunghi. Also many corporate commissions for Hospitals, hotels, Health Spas and restaurants. I now paint what inspires me, and my present passion is India, which I discovered while painting a mural there for seven months. Exhibitions include- Sackville Gallery, Piccadilly. The Art Connoisseur Gallery, Crawford St, London. The Fountain Gallery, Hampton Court. Battersea Contemporary Art Fair. The Wonderwall Gallery, Cirencester.

Sofia was born in 1977, Spain. As a child, growing up she discovered her love and passion for art. She spent 15 years in Madrid with her family before migrating to London. Sofia attended London Metropolitan University obtaining a Bsc (Hons) in Applied Psychology. Sofia’s background as a psychology graduate adds an edge to her paintings allowing her to pursue her interest for cognitive behaviour and perception two topics that fascinate her. Sofia has a flair and natural ability to transfer her feelings thoughts and emotions to a simple visual format. Her style is unique and innovative. She plays with the art of not knowing the outcome daring to provoke a result from the unexpected providing a meaningful experience for the viewer. Her complex methodology to the eye grows out of her life’s memoirs; her abstract paintings emerge from the unconscious. It is soothing therapy for Sofia and her viewers. “Best attribute for abstract paintings is the ability to create a deep conversation between strangers” When considering which artist inspire her, Sofia says she fears mind pollution, she prefers to keep her mind clear of techniques and attitudes, her technique and only technique is her individualistic perception of life. “Bad abstraction is contrived and forced and can very easily become clichéd.” Sofia has no competitor in her field. She is the one and only Sofia. No one can express feelings like she does. In addition, Sofia has written “The Expression of ImogensJazz” which includes her poetry and thoughts
Since attending Dartington College of Arts in Devon in 1977-8 as a mature student, I have worked consistently as a painter and a muralist in a variety of media, both in the UK and on the Continent. I held solo exhibitions in Torquay in the 80s and between 1989 and 1994 whilst travelling in Europe, exhibited work in several galleries in France and on the Algarve. In the 90s, as a member of the Salon des Peintres on the Ile de Re in France, I participated in summer exhibitions with much success, and sold through local galleries on the Island. I exhibited for some years with SAG Galleries in London and held solo exhibitions in many Kent venues, including Tonbridge, Sevenoaks, Dartford and Sidcup. Since moving to Romney Marsh in 1999 I have taken part in local exhibitions, held open studios and participated in the South East Open Studios event, held in June each year. I display my paintings in the Old High Street in Folkestone during the summer as part of a scheme for the regeneration of this historic area, and am a a member of the Romney Marsh Art Society and Forge Art Society.

Julie Barrow graduated from Chelsea School of Art in London in 1995. During her time at Chelsea she focused on and developed a very strong drawing portfolio, utilising many still-life applications in her work. This portfolio saw her move into freelance textile design after graduating, specialising in English florals, drawn from life. Working from a small studio in South Kensington for the next three years, she quickly became a designer of choice for many of her regular American buyers. In 1999, she began to develop her first collection of paintings on canvas as an original artist. The collection, mainly acrylic with charcoal & chalk, included a series of 6 studies, all drawn from life. The collection sold out during her first exhibition of the work, at a small local gallery in Chislehurst, Kent, and this set in motion a change in the focus of Julie’s career from designer to original artist. A three month move to Lisbon in 2002, which lasted for four years (!) saw her work take on a new sensitivity and a greater sense of maturity, as she began to combine a huge variety of media in her work, from broken CD’s, to sand, glue and homemade papers. The use of subtle muted tones on these heavily textured grounds gave her paintings an inner life of their own. She completed several collections there, from images inspired by the beautiful cobbled streets with colourful washing lines, to work dedicated to the glamour and nostalgia of the traditional Portuguese bullfight. In 2006 Julie returned to the UK and has since been working on a new collection inspired by changes in herself, a metamorphosis which she is also documenting in the form of a book. Her new work continues to feature her trademark textural grounds, but the quiet muted tones have been replaced by brighter, more ephemeral colours. Julie now lives in Kent.

I learnt to paint and draw at my mothers knee. She was a professional painter and illustrator. But my first career was as an actress ,and it wasn't until some time later that I started painting professionally, as a muralist. I painted commissioned murals for twenty five years,-clients including Mohamed Al Fayed, Ozzy Osbourne, The Forte family and Cherie Lunghi. Also many corporate commissions for Hospitals, hotels, Health Spas and restaurants. I now paint what inspires me, and my present passion is India, which I discovered while painting a mural there for seven months. Exhibitions include- Sackville Gallery, Piccadilly. The Art Connoisseur Gallery, Crawford St, London. The Fountain Gallery, Hampton Court. Battersea Contemporary Art Fair. The Wonderwall Gallery, Cirencester. Landmark Art Centre, Teddington, Edith Grove Gallery, Earls court, London Solo Exhibition, Indian High Commission, Mayfair.
Trained in textile design and progressed onto achieving a masters degree in fine art at Bretton Hall University, West Yorkshire. A natural transition occurred into capturing movement, fluidity and form. To maneuver, play and distort the most simplest of beautiful forms and giving them a poignancy in every day life is the artists upmost intention. Light, depth and space is created in her ability in applying interesting painterly techniques indicative of the artists style. Having exhibited her work on an international scale and with solo exhibitions forthcoming, she is fast developing into one of the most established, creative and reputable artists of our time.

Pete then moved to the U.S.A in 1987, and stayed until 2002, living in West Palm Beach Florida, Kansas City Missouri, Brooklyn New York & Upstate, New York as well as extensive roadtrips to the Southwest. The decision to explore the United States has benefited Pete greatly as a visual artist. Pete is an emerging Fine Art Photographer, utilising the computer to layer his imagery and sometimes combining images. He has been involved in the 'Digital Revolution' since the early days, adapting photographic and darkroom fundamentals using Photoshop in the computer. He taught 'Digital Imaging' at ‘The New School’ in Manhattan, whilst living in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, in 2001 and his digital ability was commended in 1999 when he won an award at the 'New York Festivals'.

After leaving Eastbourne Art School, I spent seven years in Finland painting, and exhibiting, both in Finland and Sweden. Exhibitors included, Pinella Gallery Turku Finland, Itameri Gallery Helsinki Finland and Halsvaha Gallery Stockholm Sweden. I was based in the picturesque town of Turku Finland, painting local scenes and people, and found they sold well in Stockholm, Sweden being several hours away by ferry. The Halsvaha Gallery was in the old part of Stockholm, something like Brighton’s Lanes. The Itameri in Helsinki was particularly interested in my ‘Pre-Raphaelite’ style figure work, something I am now doing again, also I exhibited here with a more modern graphic style. Whilst in Finland I had to obtain a work permit, which wasn’t re-newed, for reasons unknown to me, so I returned to England. My agent in Finland continued to place work for me at the Itameri, Pinella and Halsvaha, also several smaller outlets, and some private commissions. At this point I got several private clients some of whom I still do work for. During the late eighties the owners of Pinella sold the premises to a restaurant chain, Itameri and Halsvaha have now both gone Two years ago I decided to move back to exhibiting; recently I’ve shown work at Barons Gallery Brighton, and Bangaroosh Gallery Brighton. And also Copenhagen’s Respons Galleri. I have been published in England and Sweden. I paint using gouache on board, almost all my pictures measure 28 x 20 inches, a variety of subjects Water Nymphs, Mermaids Beach scenes, Swimming Pools, and Winter Scenes. My painting of people around water comes from a childhood spent on the beaches of my home town Brighton in England.

Birth Place: I was born on March 21, 1968 in a small village called Jhilna, Patuakhali, Bangladesh. Education: I studied fine arts, painting and drawing at the Institute of Fine Arts, University of Dhaka, Bangladesh 1984/89, Master Drawing of the human figure at the Guildhall University, London 1989/90, Art and Art History at the Goldsmith’s College, University of London 1991/92 and Philosophy of Arts at the Open University, 1997 UK. Life in UK: Since 1991 I have lived and worked in England, taking my inspiration from psychology, philosophy, classical music and observation and involvement in urban (and some rural) life and environment. By producing work that is far from traditional, I actively attempt to destabilize static ideas of art; my own art is a synthesis of colour, compositional element and immediacy of presentation combined into unusual forms. In late January 1995 I moved from London to Brockhall Village at the heart of the Ribble Valley, Lancashire. After a year and half I moved to London in November 1996 to establish a gallery and carry on my art work. My experiment: I am now experimenting with oil colour, acrylic, water colour and glass. Light, powder colour, cloth, water, smoke, snow and sound have been used in my audio-visual installations. Some of my work has involved features of both painting and sculpture and this has given it a hybrid character.

I was born in 1970 in Chicago, USA and immigrated to the UK thirteen years ago. I studied oil painting and printmaking privately with an artist Annette Johnson in Greenwich, London. My artwork is in private collections in the US, UK, and Japan and is represented or exhibited regularly in London, Cornwall and the southeast. My paintings have also been shown in group exhibitions at the National Maritime Museum, Dulwich Picture Gallery and with the Pastel Society and Royal Society of Marine Artists at the Mall Galleries in London. In 2002 I was artist-in-residence in Pouch Cove, Newfoundland where I had the opportunity to experiment with acrylic paints, which I now use almost exclusively. Because of my scientific background I'm also fascinated by the chemical and physical processes involved in the painting materials and colour perception.

Julie Barrow graduated from Chelsea School of Art in London in 1995. During her time at Chelsea she focused on and developed a very strong drawing portfolio, utilising many still-life applications in her work. This portfolio saw her move into freelance textile design after graduating, specialising in English florals, drawn from life. Working from a small studio in South Kensington for the next three years, she quickly became a designer of choice for many of her regular American buyers. In 1999, she began to develop her first collection of paintings on canvas as an original artist. The collection, mainly acrylic with charcoal & chalk, included a series of 6 studies, all drawn from life. The collection sold out during her first exhibition of the work, at a small local gallery in Chislehurst, Kent, and this set in motion a change in the focus of Julie’s career from designer to original artist. A three month move to Lisbon in 2002, which lasted for four years (!) saw her work take on a new sensitivity and a greater sense of maturity, as she began to combine a huge variety of media in her work, from broken CD’s, to sand, glue and homemade papers. The use of subtle muted tones on these heavily textured grounds gave her paintings an inner life of their own. She completed several collections there, from images inspired by the beautiful cobbled streets with colourful washing lines, to work dedicated to the glamour and nostalgia of the traditional Portuguese bullfight. In 2006 Julie returned to the UK and has since been working on a new collection inspired by changes in herself, a metamorphosis which she is also documenting in the form of a book. Her new work continues to feature her trademark textural grounds, but the quiet muted tones have been replaced by brighter, more ephemeral colours. Julie now lives in Kent.

Born in Yorkshire in 1974. I studied art at school and went on to The University of Aberdeen where I achieved a Master of Arts degree in 1999 After spending six months in India teaching and travelling I was heavily influenced by my experiences, this in turn, allowed me to develop and transform my painting styles to give me a unique understanding of my creativity. I moved back to Yorkshire and had my first solo exhibition in Shipley, West Yorkshire. Energized from people viewing my work I was delighted when I found out that I had sold four pieces in just one week. Since this exhibition I have since exhibited several time in London. So far, I have sold around 60 original pieces, and about 20 commissions from this venture. The artwork is mostly modern contemporary acrylic on large canvas, but ranges from abstract nudes to local Urban/Rural landscapes. In the mean time I look to display my work elsewhere and was delighted to discover that my work had been chosen, out of hundreds of entries, to be displayed at the opening of the new Keighley Art College. From this, I received a stunning review from the press, stating that my work was ‘Tate Worthy’; this encouraged me to further my career and experiment with my talent and the market. In York I exhibited in the open-air exhibition, which proved to be very successful. Here, I received a very positive response to my art and sold a lot of my new style acrylic-abstracts.

I graduated with my Visual Cultures Art Degree in 1997 with a BA (Hons) from Nottingham and now live in Tunbridge Wells. I worked in Graphic Design for several years, but now, with a young family, only produce artwork freelance. This has given me the scope to try out new ideas and choose my own direction. My recent 'Iconic Canvases' have probably been one of my most successful projects to date. It started off as another one of my "projects" for our home and after a number of compliments and a one-off commission for a client, the demand for this genre of my work escalated and I therefore decided to setup a studio to create these wonderful Iconic artworks.
Trained originally as a doctor. MA Fine Art Chelsea College of Art. Exhibited widely, particularly in London and the South West.

Pete Kelly was born in Cumbria, NW England in October, 1966. Son of military man and grew up in Germany with British Forces Schools. Introduced to the fundamentals of photography in 1984, by completing a six month course in Photography at the ‘Royal Air Force Photographic Unit’ Wildenrath. He then moved to U.K to study Graphic Design and graduated from Stockport College in 1986 completing a BND in Graphic Design/Advertising'. Pete then moved to the U.S.A in 1987, and stayed until 2002, living in West Palm Beach Florida, Kansas City Missouri, Brooklyn New York & Upstate, New York as well as extensive roadtrips to the Southwest. The decision to explore the United States has benefited Pete greatly as a visual artist. Pete is an emerging Fine Art Photographer, utilising the computer to layer his imagery and sometimes combining images. He has been involved in the 'Digital Revolution' since the early days, adapting photographic and darkroom fundamentals using Photoshop in the computer. He taught 'Digital Imaging' at ‘The New School’ in Manhattan, whilst living in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, in 2001 and his digital ability was commended in 1999 when he won an award at the 'New York Festivals'. Pete has been successful selling his personal work since 1990 and gained his first ‘serious’ representation at ‘The Robin Rice Gallery’ whilst living in New York from 1998 – 2002. He is now represented in 5 states in the U.S and galleries in the U.K. Pete is currently residing in Cheshire, England, and has contributed to many gallery shows: - 'The Dow & Jones Permanent Collection', New York. - 'Sloan-Kettering Permanent Collection' New York. - 'Williamsburg Art & Historical Society’, New York. - '707 Contemporary', Santa Fe, New Mexico. - 'Hudson Galleries', New Orleans, Louisiana. - 'Aspen International Art', Aspen, Colorado. - 'Carrie Haddad Gallery’, Hudson, New York. - 'Keeshan's Fine Art’, Kansas City, Missouri. - 'Robin Rice Gallery’, Manhattan, New York. - ‘Gallery 22’, Hale, Cheshire, U.K - ‘Calvin Charles Gallery’ Scottsdale, Arizona. - ‘Lunar Boy Gallery’ Astoria, Oregon.

The ever-changing effects of light on the Cornish coast fascinate me. I specialise in painting with oils and try to capture this quality of light through my observational and detailed style. As well as commissions I have been exhibiting my work locally in group exhibitions and one-man shows at numerous Cornish and national galleries over the last seven+ years. These include: the National Trust's 'Trelissick Gallery', Truro's 'Lander Gallery' and the Island gallery in St Ives. More recently I have been exhibiting at art fairs and further a field in Cirencester, Cheltenham, Brighton, London and California.
Nationality: British Art style: Surrealist Artist, Painting and Sculpture. Born in Pretoria, South Africa in 1957. I have successfully combined my African perspective with an Avant-Garde "Western" approach to art. Studied Fine Art at the University of South Africa and has lectured at the same university where my book "The Found Art of Paint Making" was the handbook used on the course. Also have lectured at Oxford Brooks University and Edinburgh College of Art. I make all my own paints and inks that I use for painting using the traditional methods used by the masters and including the use of modern materials as I believe that quality of the final product (materials wise) is as important as the quality of the originality of the idea and method of execution of the work. With my sculpture work I use materials such as, stone, concrete, clay, bronze and wax. Attended courses on Screen-printing in Bristol and mold-making in Stafford. Authored the book, "The Found Art of Paint Making" published in South Africa and now have revised the book and published it in August 2005. Currently this book is used by many International Artists, Universities and Art Institutions as a handbook. I taught at my art school in South Africa and in Bicester. I have taught children (including those with learning difficulties) and adults, and have given workshops on paint making and all aspects of drawing and painting. My unconventional methods have shown great results for the students that I have taught. I have been living and working in the West Midlands in the UK for over five years. Besides having Art Exhibitions in most of the major cities in South Africa, I have had Art Exhibitions in Oxford, Birmingham, Bilston and Cardiff. My works are in private and corporate collections worldwide.
Artistic education- self taught. My work is mainly on display in bars, cafes and restaurants.

Julie Barrow graduated from Chelsea School of Art in London in 1995. During her time at Chelsea she focused on and developed a very strong drawing portfolio, utilising many still-life applications in her work. This portfolio saw her move into freelance textile design after graduating, specialising in English florals, drawn from life. Working from a small studio in South Kensington for the next three years, she quickly became a designer of choice for many of her regular American buyers. In 1999, she began to develop her first collection of paintings on canvas as an original artist. The collection, mainly acrylic with charcoal & chalk, included a series of 6 studies, all drawn from life. The collection sold out during her first exhibition of the work, at a small local gallery in Chislehurst, Kent, and this set in motion a change in the focus of Julie’s career from designer to original artist. A three month move to Lisbon in 2002, which lasted for four years (!) saw her work take on a new sensitivity and a greater sense of maturity, as she began to combine a huge variety of media in her work, from broken CD’s, to sand, glue and homemade papers. The use of subtle muted tones on these heavily textured grounds gave her paintings an inner life of their own. She completed several collections there, from images inspired by the beautiful cobbled streets with colourful washing lines, to work dedicated to the glamour and nostalgia of the traditional Portuguese bullfight. In 2006 Julie returned to the UK and has since been working on a new collection inspired by changes in herself, a metamorphosis which she is also documenting in the form of a book. Her new work continues to feature her trademark textural grounds, but the quiet muted tones have been replaced by brighter, more ephemeral colours. Julie now lives in Kent.
Suffering and Art, I am told, go hand in hand. This should put me in good stead, as over the last decade I seem to have turned my suffering into a career. Revelling in self pity and the futility of it all, abusing body and mind until I could do little else, the inevitable eventually happened. In 1998 I cracked. I became a stuttering wreck and entered the not so strange world of the mentally ill. I seemed to fit in well! But what to do with my time? Art. I used to like art. I had, in fact, been a professional landscape artist in the 80's, but my business acumen, or the lack of it, had made for a very short career. And then it happened. I discovered acrylics and canvas and I became a born again artist! Escaping into a world that wasn't quite as harmful, a world that actually seemed to have some sort of point, a world where I wasn't totally useless, a world that just might keep me alive..... for a while. So what now?............

Sofia was born in 1977, Spain. As a child, growing up she discovered her love and passion for art. She spent 15 years in Madrid with her family before migrating to London. Sofia attended London Metropolitan University obtaining a Bsc (Hons) in Applied Psychology. Sofia’s background as a psychology graduate adds an edge to her paintings allowing her to pursue her interest for cognitive behaviour and perception two topics that fascinate her. Sofia has a flair and natural ability to transfer her feelings thoughts and emotions to a simple visual format. Her style is unique and innovative. She plays with the art of not knowing the outcome daring to provoke a result from the unexpected providing a meaningful experience for the viewer. Her complex methodology to the eye grows out of her life’s memoirs; her abstract paintings emerge from the unconscious. It is soothing therapy for Sofia and her viewers. “Best attribute for abstract paintings is the ability to create a deep conversation between strangers” When considering which artist inspire her, Sofia says she fears mind pollution, she prefers to keep her mind clear of techniques and attitudes, her technique and only technique is her individualistic perception of life. “Bad abstraction is contrived and forced and can very easily become clichéd.” Sofia has no competitor in her field. She is the one and only Sofia. No one can express feelings like she does. In addition, Sofia has written “The Expression of ImogensJazz” which includes her poetry and thoughts
Julie Barrow graduated from Chelsea School of Art in London in 1995. During her time at Chelsea she focused on and developed a very strong drawing portfolio, utilising many still-life applications in her work. This portfolio saw her move into freelance textile design after graduating, specialising in English florals, drawn from life. Working from a small studio in South Kensington for the next three years, she quickly became a designer of choice for many of her regular American buyers. In 1999, she began to develop her first collection of paintings on canvas as an original artist. The collection, mainly acrylic with charcoal & chalk, included a series of 6 studies, all drawn from life. The collection sold out during her first exhibition of the work, at a small local gallery in Chislehurst, Kent, and this set in motion a change in the focus of Julie’s career from designer to original artist. A three month move to Lisbon in 2002, which lasted for four years (!) saw her work take on a new sensitivity and a greater sense of maturity, as she began to combine a huge variety of media in her work, from broken CD’s, to sand, glue and homemade papers. The use of subtle muted tones on these heavily textured grounds gave her paintings an inner life of their own. She completed several collections there, from images inspired by the beautiful cobbled streets with colourful washing lines, to work dedicated to the glamour and nostalgia of the traditional Portuguese bullfight. In 2006 Julie returned to the UK and has since been working on a new collection inspired by changes in herself, a metamorphosis which she is also documenting in the form of a book. Her new work continues to feature her trademark textural grounds, but the quiet muted tones have been replaced by brighter, more ephemeral colours. Julie now lives in Kent.

Pete Kelly was born in Cumbria, NW England in October, 1966. Son of military man and grew up in Germany with British Forces Schools. Introduced to the fundamentals of photography in 1984, by completing a six month course in Photography at the ‘Royal Air Force Photographic Unit’ Wildenrath. He then moved to U.K to study Graphic Design and graduated from Stockport College in 1986 completing a BND in Graphic Design/Advertising'. Pete then moved to the U.S.A in 1987, and stayed until 2002, living in West Palm Beach Florida, Kansas City Missouri, Brooklyn New York & Upstate, New York as well as extensive roadtrips to the Southwest.

After leaving Eastbourne Art School, I spent seven years in Finland painting, and exhibiting, both in Finland and Sweden. Exhibitors included, Pinella Gallery Turku Finland, Itameri Gallery Helsinki Finland and Halsvaha Gallery Stockholm Sweden. I was based in the picturesque town of Turku Finland, painting local scenes and people, and found they sold well in Stockholm, Sweden being several hours away by ferry. The Halsvaha Gallery was in the old part of Stockholm, something like Brighton’s Lanes. The Itameri in Helsinki was particularly interested in my ‘Pre-Raphaelite’ style figure work, something I am now doing again, also I exhibited here with a more modern graphic style. Whilst in Finland I had to obtain a work permit, which wasn’t re-newed, for reasons unknown to me, so I returned to England. My agent in Finland continued to place work for me at the Itameri, Pinella and Halsvaha, also several smaller outlets, and some private commissions. At this point I got several private clients some of whom I still do work for. During the late eighties the owners of Pinella sold the premises to a restaurant chain, Itameri and Halsvaha have now both gone Two years ago I decided to move back to exhibiting; recently I’ve shown work at Barons Gallery Brighton, and Bangaroosh Gallery Brighton. And also Copenhagen’s Respons Galleri. I have been published in England and Sweden. I paint using gouache on board, almost all my pictures measure 28 x 20 inches, a variety of subjects Water Nymphs, Mermaids Beach scenes, Swimming Pools, and Winter Scenes. My painting of people around water comes from a childhood spent on the beaches of my home town Brighton in England.
I was born in 1982 in Lucknow, UP a state of India. I grew up with my parents and two brothers, though most of my life I lived out in hostels. In my early ages I grew up in beautiful surroundings of Mussoorie. The images transferred on to the canvas here are replete with nature that substitutes the external one translating feeling and emotions. I strongly believe art should energize and revitalize you along with giving you peace and pleasure. PART OF MY ACHIEVEMENTS § Solo Exhibition at Hotel Taj Palace, Delhi (July 2010) § “EYES AGAINST SPECTRUM” sold at Solo Exhibition Taj Palace § “BREATH WATCHING” sold at Solo Exhibition Hotel Taj Palace § “LADY PRINCESS” procured by Hotel Taj Palace § “STORM APPROACHING” purchased by a USA customer. § “THAT BURNING EVENING” sold in UK. § “THE ORANGE WALL” purchased by Absolutes BPO § “THE CONCRETE” part of 9th Indian Art Exhibition in Indonesia I always carried very specific eye for detail where ever I lived or worked. My creations share a love of realism and rustic pattern, mix of colors like blue, orange and grey that continues to be part of me. The creations are about the inner journey, one that portrays about a personal response to the landscape. Exploration, observation and careful thoughts are the key to success. Ideally there should be some interaction between size of the objects and horizon. Good composition is to judge what to leave out as it is and where to lay the detailing. For example, a greater depth of a field can be achieved by applying subdued colors and tones in the distance. I have a long relation with nature, probably since my childhood. I ask you, “where is the realism of yesterday?” Do you know the life they lived, the man made structures slowly creeping into the earth, smoke from the chimney of the mill floating up at an angle? John Cage very well said, “We need not destroy the past. It has gone.”

Paul Marshall-Keyes has been a self-studious patron of the arts and photography since a young age, drawn especially to the form and tonality of 'colourless' photography. Paul combines his love of photography as an artistic medium with his spiritual and emotional attachments to nature and the landscape. Paul strives to ensure that his work gives more than it takes, thus helping to ensure that the landscape remains intact for many generations to come. This encompasses various initiatives including the use of papers, mounts, frames, and the such-like from sustained sources, minimising energy usage, and using ‘green’ transport where possible to reach intended destinations. Paul possesses qualifications in Art and a Diploma in Photography, and has been practicing his craft for a number of years. Paul's art has been sold to a number of private buyers, and he is now beginning to actively pursue exhibition opportunities both in the UK and abroad.

I was born in 1982 in Lucknow, UP a state of India. I grew up with my parents and two brothers, though most of my life I lived out in hostels. In my early ages I grew up in beautiful surroundings of Mussoorie. The images transferred on to the canvas here are replete with nature that substitutes the external one translating feeling and emotions. I strongly believe art should energize and revitalize you along with giving you peace and pleasure. PART OF MY ACHIEVEMENTS § Solo Exhibition at Hotel Taj Palace, Delhi (July 2010) § “EYES AGAINST SPECTRUM” sold at Solo Exhibition Taj Palace § “BREATH WATCHING” sold at Solo Exhibition Hotel Taj Palace § “LADY PRINCESS” procured by Hotel Taj Palace § “STORM APPROACHING” purchased by a USA customer. § “THAT BURNING EVENING” sold in UK. § “THE ORANGE WALL” purchased by Absolutes BPO § “THE CONCRETE” part of 9th Indian Art Exhibition in Indonesia I always carried very specific eye for detail where ever I lived or worked. My creations share a love of realism and rustic pattern, mix of colors like blue, orange and grey that continues to be part of me. The creations are about the inner journey, one that portrays about a personal response to the landscape. Exploration, observation and careful thoughts are the key to success. Ideally there should be some interaction between size of the objects and horizon. Good composition is to judge what to leave out as it is and where to lay the detailing. For example, a greater depth of a field can be achieved by applying subdued colors and tones in the distance. I have a long relation with nature, probably since my childhood. I ask you, “where is the realism of yesterday?” Do you know the life they lived, the man made structures slowly creeping into the earth, smoke from the chimney of the mill floating up at an angle? John Cage very well said, “We need not destroy the past. It has gone.”

Jay Rechsteiner who also works under the name Tobleroni was born in Switzerland in 1971 where he spent his childhood. In his early 20s Jay immigrated to Japan with his wife where he devoted his time to the study of art. About six years later he got divorced and set out on a journey through Asia back to Switzerland where he settled down for two years working as an artist while taking art courses at the College of Art and Design in Basel. Jay came to London in 2004. He exhibited internationally in Japan, France, Italy, Switzerland, Portugal and in the UK. Jay Rechsteiner is first and foremost a painter who is constantly questioning art, the art world, political & social events. There is a deep philosophical aspect in his work that manifests itself in a wide range of different paintings of various styles from crude, urban collage-style images to more sophisticated techniques based on computer-based graphic design. Under the name Tobleroni Jay works together with Victor 'Torpedo' Silveira AKA Sardine using the label The Monkey in the Box Company. This collaborative art project produces a vast amount of paintings of a very refreshing style challenging the contemporary sense of art and beauty. Jay Rechsteiner works also in other media such as video, video performance, installation and conceptual projects mainly exploring and defining what art actually is. He now lives and works in London, UK.

My creations share a love of realism and rustic pattern, mix of colors like blue, orange and grey that continues to be part of me. The creations are about the inner journey, one that portrays about a personal response to the landscape. Exploration, observation and careful thoughts are the key to success. Ideally there should be some interaction between size of the objects and horizon. Good composition is to judge what to leave out as it is and where to lay the detailing. For example, a greater depth of a field can be achieved by applying subdued colors and tones in the distance. I have a long relation with nature, probably since my childhood. I ask you, “where is the realism of yesterday?” Do you know the life they lived, the man made structures slowly creeping into the earth, smoke from the chimney of the mill floating up at an angle? John Cage very well said, “We need not destroy the past. It has gone.”

Over the last four years Julia’s work has concentrated on exploring and developing inspirational ideas drawn from nature and plant life. Since graduating in 2003 with a degree in Three Dimensional Design from Manchester Metropolitan University her work has blossomed into new and experimental pieces. This passion to find and express her ideas through art began at a young age and has continued and grown into her current artistic practice today. Now living and working from her small Oxford based studio, Julia’s unique and individual work is becoming increasingly popular in the UK and abroad.

Born glasgow 1972 Ba/ma UWE Bristol.
After leaving Eastbourne Art School, I spent seven years in Finland painting, and exhibiting, both in Finland and Sweden. Exhibitors included, Pinella Gallery Turku Finland, Itameri Gallery Helsinki Finland and Halsvaha Gallery Stockholm Sweden. I was based in the picturesque town of Turku Finland, painting local scenes and people, and found they sold well in Stockholm, Sweden being several hours away by ferry. The Halsvaha Gallery was in the old part of Stockholm, something like Brighton’s Lanes. The Itameri in Helsinki was particularly interested in my ‘Pre-Raphaelite’ style figure work, something I am now doing again, also I exhibited here with a more modern graphic style. Whilst in Finland I had to obtain a work permit, which wasn’t re-newed, for reasons unknown to me, so I returned to England. My agent in Finland continued to place work for me at the Itameri, Pinella and Halsvaha, also several smaller outlets, and some private commissions. At this point I got several private clients some of whom I still do work for. During the late eighties the owners of Pinella sold the premises to a restaurant chain, Itameri and Halsvaha have now both gone Two years ago I decided to move back to exhibiting; recently I’ve shown work at Barons Gallery Brighton, and Bangaroosh Gallery Brighton. And also Copenhagen’s Respons Galleri. I have been published in England and Sweden. I paint using gouache on board, almost all my pictures measure 28 x 20 inches, a variety of subjects Water Nymphs, Mermaids Beach scenes, Swimming Pools, and Winter Scenes. My painting of people around water comes from a childhood spent on the beaches of my home town Brighton in England.

Jay Rechsteiner who also works under the name Tobleroni was born in Switzerland in 1971 where he spent his childhood. In his early 20s Jay immigrated to Japan with his wife where he devoted his time to the study of art. About six years later he got divorced and set out on a journey through Asia back to Switzerland where he settled down for two years working as an artist while taking art courses at the College of Art and Design in Basel. Jay came to London in 2004. He exhibited internationally in Japan, France, Italy, Switzerland, Portugal and in the UK. Jay Rechsteiner is first and foremost a painter who is constantly questioning art, the art world, political & social events. There is a deep philosophical aspect in his work that manifests itself in a wide range of different paintings of various styles from crude, urban collage-style images to more sophisticated techniques based on computer-based graphic design. Under the name Tobleroni Jay works together with Victor 'Torpedo' Silveira AKA Sardine using the label The Monkey in the Box Company. This collaborative art project produces a vast amount of paintings of a very refreshing style challenging the contemporary sense of art and beauty. Jay Rechsteiner works also in other media such as video, video performance, installation and conceptual projects mainly exploring and defining what art actually is. He now lives and works in London, UK.

Education: I studied fine arts, painting and drawing at the Institute of Fine Arts, University of Dhaka, Bangladesh 1984/89, Master Drawing of the human figure at the Guildhall University, London 1989/90, Art and Art History at the Goldsmith’s College, University of London 1991/92 and Philosophy of Arts at the Open University, 1997 UK. Life in UK: Since 1991 I have lived and worked in England, taking my inspiration from psychology, philosophy, classical music and observation and involvement in urban (and some rural) life and environment. By producing work that is far from traditional, I actively attempt to destabilize static ideas of art; my own art is a synthesis of colour, compositional element and immediacy of presentation combined into unusual forms. In late January 1995 I moved from London to Brockhall Village at the heart of the Ribble Valley, Lancashire. After a year and half I moved to London in November 1996 to establish a gallery and carry on my art work. My experiment: I am now experimenting with oil colour, acrylic, water colour and glass. Light, powder colour, cloth, water, smoke, snow and sound have been used in my audio-visual installations. Some of my work has involved features of both painting and sculpture and this has given it a hybrid character.

I have always expressed myself through art: as a child my father taught me to draw insisting i only drew the gradients of grey i saw in the shadows, this technique leads to a gradual revelation of a figure or object on the paper described by the light that falls upon it. I developed an interest in the pre-Raphaelite artists and obsessively copied paintings of Elizabeth Siddal with charcoal, soft graphite pencils and acrylic paints, but was intrigued and slightly intimidated by the haunting images of surrealist artists such as Dorothea Tanning. Although my formal education BA and MA are in English Literature I have been unable to exorcise the images in my mind (sometimes provoked by the literature i read) any other way than through the messy but visceral medium of paint. My love of travel and my fascination with exploring different art styles particularly religious themes has lead me to paint, draw and photograph around the world. The heavy blue green of rice paddies in Cambodia, the slick brightness of Delhi drenched in monsoon, the reds and ochre in the middle eastern mountains... all these co lours and contrasts combine with study of formal art of various cultures to inform my perpetually developing and shifting style. In my artistic career i have displayed in small galleries and designed pieces for a trendy wine bar as well as painting murals for commercial premises. I have also sold my work at art markets and online. Currently living in Greenwich i am finding inspiration in London life and the people living it, and always see, and delight in, the patterns of light and shadow that describe my subjects and the world around me.

Born in rural Norfolk, England in 1973, my childhood was informed by the pervasive influence of the Norfolk broads, of East coast fishing communities and of the endless wheat fields of the East Anglian countryside. After leaving Art college in 1992 I spent several years working as a freelance Artist and Illustrator and exhibiting my own ‘developing’ style of painting. These, early works aimed to juxtapose visual perception and concepts of ‘belonging’ through a broad range of thematic studies. In 1996 I moved to Devon where I completed my degree in Fine Art and a Cert.Ed. in Waldorf/Steiner education, I then began to teach Art and creative practice at community college and a local private school. In May of 2002 I moved, with my wife and two children, from a spacious suburban house to a small neglected bungalow on Dartmoor, deep in the heart of rural Devon. The combination of this new environment and my employment at the prestigious Devon Guild of Craftsmen inspired a profound transformation in my work. This new Artwork was imbued with the rich, value loaded essence of the reclaimed wood from which it was composed and allowed me to further my creative and conceptual ideas to a new level. I now exhibit and sell work across the south west, benefit from regional magazine coverage and take regular commissions for both 2d and 3d compositions.

Her corporate commissions include ‘Discovery’ sculpture, for Royal Doulton was exhibited in the British Pavilion at Expo 92 in Seville. ‘Harmony’ formed part of Stapeley Water Garden’s display at Chelsea Flower Show, and led to garden sculpture commissions such as her ‘Flower Fairies’ shown at the major flower shows, and featured in the media, and are in private collections throughout the UK and as far away as New Zealand. A local commission was to reproduce the logo in 3D for one of the sponsors of the Commonwealth Games.

Artistic education- self taught. My work is mainly on display in bars, cafes and restaurants.
I was born in Belize to Jamaican parents, where I lived until age four and spent the remainder of my childhood in Jamaica. My experience of life and art in Jamaica has had a huge impact on my work particularly my use of colour and love of found objects. It was in Jamaica where I first gained my fascination with everyday scenes and discarded materials. As a third-world country there is a wonderful imagination when it comes to finding new uses for objects and materials past their original use. In 2000 I completed a three-year studio arts program in Vancouver, Canada and went on to complete a BA in Painting at University of the Arts London in 2004. I have since worked as a freelance artist based in the UK where I have been invited to exhibit my work in both the UK and Europe. I have previously worked as a freelance draftsman, mural painter and artist in Canada and Jamaica. I have received a number of awards and honours during my artistic career. These include an award from the British Columbia Arts Council in Vancouver, a grant from the Urban Community Trust for a mural commission based in a London inner-city housing estate and produced with the help of a group of young people from the local community and a scholarship from the Salzburger Sparkasse Bank.
Sofia was born in 1977, Spain. As a child, growing up she discovered her love and passion for art. She spent 15 years in Madrid with her family before migrating to London. Sofia attended London Metropolitan University obtaining a Bsc (Hons) in Applied Psychology. Sofia’s background as a psychology graduate adds an edge to her paintings allowing her to pursue her interest for cognitive behaviour and perception two topics that fascinate her. Sofia has a flair and natural ability to transfer her feelings thoughts and emotions to a simple visual format. Her style is unique and innovative. She plays with the art of not knowing the outcome daring to provoke a result from the unexpected providing a meaningful experience for the viewer. Her complex methodology to the eye grows out of her life’s memoirs; her abstract paintings emerge from the unconscious. It is soothing therapy for Sofia and her viewers. “Best attribute for abstract paintings is the ability to create a deep conversation between strangers” When considering which artist inspire her, Sofia says she fears mind pollution, she prefers to keep her mind clear of techniques and attitudes, her technique and only technique is her individualistic perception of life. “Bad abstraction is contrived and forced and can very easily become clichéd.” Sofia has no competitor in her field. She is the one and only Sofia. No one can express feelings like she does. In addition, Sofia has written “The Expression of ImogensJazz” which includes her poetry and thoughts

The ever-changing effects of light on the Cornish coast fascinate me. I specialise in painting with oils and try to capture this quality of light through my observational and detailed style. As well as commissions I have been exhibiting my work locally in group exhibitions and one-man shows at numerous Cornish and national galleries over the last seven+ years. These include: the National Trust's 'Trelissick Gallery', Truro's 'Lander Gallery' and the Island gallery in St Ives. More recently I have been exhibiting at art fairs and further a field in Cirencester, Cheltenham, Brighton, London and California.

Julie Barrow graduated from Chelsea School of Art in London in 1995. During her time at Chelsea she focused on and developed a very strong drawing portfolio, utilising many still-life applications in her work. This portfolio saw her move into freelance textile design after graduating, specialising in English florals, drawn from life. Working from a small studio in South Kensington for the next three years, she quickly became a designer of choice for many of her regular American buyers. In 1999, she began to develop her first collection of paintings on canvas as an original artist. The collection, mainly acrylic with charcoal & chalk, included a series of 6 studies, all drawn from life. The collection sold out during her first exhibition of the work, at a small local gallery in Chislehurst, Kent, and this set in motion a change in the focus of Julie’s career from designer to original artist. A three month move to Lisbon in 2002, which lasted for four years (!) saw her work take on a new sensitivity and a greater sense of maturity, as she began to combine a huge variety of media in her work, from broken CD’s, to sand, glue and homemade papers. The use of subtle muted tones on these heavily textured grounds gave her paintings an inner life of their own. She completed several collections there, from images inspired by the beautiful cobbled streets with colourful washing lines, to work dedicated to the glamour and nostalgia of the traditional Portuguese bullfight. In 2006 Julie returned to the UK and has since been working on a new collection inspired by changes in herself, a metamorphosis which she is also documenting in the form of a book. Her new work continues to feature her trademark textural grounds, but the quiet muted tones have been replaced by brighter, more ephemeral colours. Julie now lives in Kent.
Graduauted from University of Wolverhampton in 2005.I Have been concentrating on producing work and setting up studio place since then. I have exhibited in the uk and abroad.

Sofia was born in 1977, Spain. As a child, growing up she discovered her love and passion for art. She spent 15 years in Madrid with her family before migrating to London. Sofia attended London Metropolitan University obtaining a Bsc (Hons) in Applied Psychology. Sofia’s background as a psychology graduate adds an edge to her paintings allowing her to pursue her interest for cognitive behaviour and perception two topics that fascinate her. Sofia has a flair and natural ability to transfer her feelings thoughts and emotions to a simple visual format. Her style is unique and innovative. She plays with the art of not knowing the outcome daring to provoke a result from the unexpected providing a meaningful experience for the viewer. Her complex methodology to the eye grows out of her life’s memoirs; her abstract paintings emerge from the unconscious. It is soothing therapy for Sofia and her viewers. “Best attribute for abstract paintings is the ability to create a deep conversation between strangers” When considering which artist inspire her, Sofia says she fears mind pollution, she prefers to keep her mind clear of techniques and attitudes, her technique and only technique is her individualistic perception of life. “Bad abstraction is contrived and forced and can very easily become clichéd.” Sofia has no competitor in her field. She is the one and only Sofia. No one can express feelings like she does. In addition, Sofia has written “The Expression of ImogensJazz” which includes her poetry and thoughts

He has a wealth of experience in teaching the artistically challenged and is an expert at building confidence in drawing. In this engaging, simple book he starts by showing, with step-by-step guidance, how to draw the basics. The book then works up from these confidence-builders to show how easy it is to improve and have a go with more adventurous materials such as acrylics and watercolours. John Blake Publishing. Foreword by Richard & Judy. • On New Year’s Eve 2000, Millennium night, he was commissioned by Channel Four to paint Johnny Vaughan and Lisa Tarbuck, live on air, for ‘The Biggest Breakfast Ever’. • Christian has exhibited extensively at shows and galleries around the world, including the National Portrait Gallery, London • Christian was commissioned by Robinsons last year 2005 to mark their 70 years on Centre Court.

I studied in Leicester and London before moving to Brighton. During 2007, I have had 3 exhibitions; 2 in brighton and 1 in Shoreham. In 2008, I have exhibited in Hove, and will be featured in the November issue of Artists and Illustrators, where I have written a feature on acrylic painting.
After leaving Eastbourne Art School, I spent seven years in Finland painting, and exhibiting, both in Finland and Sweden. Exhibitors included, Pinella Gallery Turku Finland, Itameri Gallery Helsinki Finland and Halsvaha Gallery Stockholm Sweden. I was based in the picturesque town of Turku Finland, painting local scenes and people, and found they sold well in Stockholm, Sweden being several hours away by ferry. The Halsvaha Gallery was in the old part of Stockholm, something like Brighton’s Lanes. The Itameri in Helsinki was particularly interested in my ‘Pre-Raphaelite’ style figure work, something I am now doing again, also I exhibited here with a more modern graphic style. Whilst in Finland I had to obtain a work permit, which wasn’t re-newed, for reasons unknown to me, so I returned to England. My agent in Finland continued to place work for me at the Itameri, Pinella and Halsvaha, also several smaller outlets, and some private commissions. At this point I got several private clients some of whom I still do work for. During the late eighties the owners of Pinella sold the premises to a restaurant chain, Itameri and Halsvaha have now both gone Two years ago I decided to move back to exhibiting; recently I’ve shown work at Barons Gallery Brighton, and Bangaroosh Gallery Brighton. And also Copenhagen’s Respons Galleri. I have been published in England and Sweden. I paint using gouache on board, almost all my pictures measure 28 x 20 inches, a variety of subjects Water Nymphs, Mermaids Beach scenes, Swimming Pools, and Winter Scenes. My painting of people around water comes from a childhood spent on the beaches of my home town Brighton in England.
Graduauted from University of Wolverhampton in 2005.I Have been concentrating on producing work and setting up studio place since then. I have exhibited in the uk and abroad.

Sofia was born in 1977, Spain. As a child, growing up she discovered her love and passion for art. She spent 15 years in Madrid with her family before migrating to London. Sofia attended London Metropolitan University obtaining a Bsc (Hons) in Applied Psychology. Sofia’s background as a psychology graduate adds an edge to her paintings allowing her to pursue her interest for cognitive behaviour and perception two topics that fascinate her. Sofia has a flair and natural ability to transfer her feelings thoughts and emotions to a simple visual format. Her style is unique and innovative. She plays with the art of not knowing the outcome daring to provoke a result from the unexpected providing a meaningful experience for the viewer. Her complex methodology to the eye grows out of her life’s memoirs; her abstract paintings emerge from the unconscious. It is soothing therapy for Sofia and her viewers. “Best attribute for abstract paintings is the ability to create a deep conversation between strangers” When considering which artist inspire her, Sofia says she fears mind pollution, she prefers to keep her mind clear of techniques and attitudes, her technique and only technique is her individualistic perception of life. “Bad abstraction is contrived and forced and can very easily become clichéd.” Sofia has no competitor in her field. She is the one and only Sofia. No one can express feelings like she does. In addition, Sofia has written “The Expression of ImogensJazz” which includes her poetry and thoughts
I initially trained as a Technical Illustrator specialising in cutaway drawings and airbrush renderings. With the advent of CAD and the desktop publishing era I re-trained as a Graphic Designer and worked as a designer/illustrator and lecturer in drawing and graphic communication. My work became increasingly concerned with layout and typography and I subsequently founded a graphic design company. Life drawing and painting has underpinned all the creative work I've been involved in. It is the one constant in my career to date. I continue painting and drawing in order to counterbalance the direction of my other creative work which is virtually all computer based.
Original paintings and commissions unique to you and your space. I enjoy escaping to the countryside, especially the south west where I draw inspiration from rolling hills, sweeping skies and pockets of nature.

Mark Sunderland was born in York, England in 1963. His interest in photography started around the age of eleven. He is largely self-taught, having trained and worked in the IT industry for some twenty years, but has continued to develop his photography throughout his life. He attended a general photography short course in 1992 which started a more serious exploration of the medium, and has specialised in colour landscape and travel photography since the mid 1990s. He has travelled through the western USA on several workshops with US based British landscape photographer Nigel Turner and numerous other trips. He has recently travelled through Chilean Patagonia with American landscape photographer Linde Waidhofer. Mark has been published in a number of photography magazines, and was highly commended in the Composition and Form category of the 2000 BG Wildlife Photographer of The Year Competition.

The ever-changing effects of light on the Cornish coast fascinate me. I specialise in painting with oils and try to capture this quality of light through my observational and detailed style. As well as commissions I have been exhibiting my work locally in group exhibitions and one-man shows at numerous Cornish and national galleries over the last seven+ years. These include: the National Trust's 'Trelissick Gallery', Truro's 'Lander Gallery' and the Island gallery in St Ives. More recently I have been exhibiting at art fairs and further a field in Cirencester, Cheltenham, Brighton, London and California.

Paul Marshall-Keyes has been a self-studious patron of the arts and photography since a young age, drawn especially to the form and tonality of 'colourless' photography. Paul combines his love of photography as an artistic medium with his spiritual and emotional attachments to nature and the landscape. Paul strives to ensure that his work gives more than it takes, thus helping to ensure that the landscape remains intact for many generations to come. This encompasses various initiatives including the use of papers, mounts, frames, and the such-like from sustained sources, minimising energy usage, and using ‘green’ transport where possible to reach intended destinations. Paul possesses qualifications in Art and a Diploma in Photography, and has been practicing his craft for a number of years. Paul's art has been sold to a number of private buyers, and he is now beginning to actively pursue exhibition opportunities both in the UK and abroad.

I was born in Chesterfield, Derbyshire in 1971. I live in the Peak District in a village called Belper which is a wonderful source of inspiration for me. The aim of my work is to re-create the feeling of the outdoors, to give the viewer a desire to step into the work and experience the landscape as I see and feel it. I am currently undertaking a BA (hons) degree in Fine Art at the uniiversity of Derby

Lucas has been earning a living as an artist since he was 15 years old, originally crafting stylistic portraitures to independent commissions. Today he concentrates on photorealisim, with a focus toward a strong message..."Animals in captivity".
Suffering and Art, I am told, go hand in hand. This should put me in good stead, as over the last decade I seem to have turned my suffering into a career. Revelling in self pity and the futility of it all, abusing body and mind until I could do little else, the inevitable eventually happened. In 1998 I cracked. I became a stuttering wreck and entered the not so strange world of the mentally ill. I seemed to fit in well! But what to do with my time? Art. I used to like art. I had, in fact, been a professional landscape artist in the 80's, but my business acumen, or the lack of it, had made for a very short career. And then it happened. I discovered acrylics and canvas and I became a born again artist! Escaping into a world that wasn't quite as harmful, a world that actually seemed to have some sort of point, a world where I wasn't totally useless, a world that just might keep me alive..... for a while. So what now?............

Sofia was born in 1977, Spain. As a child, growing up she discovered her love and passion for art. She spent 15 years in Madrid with her family before migrating to London. Sofia attended London Metropolitan University obtaining a Bsc (Hons) in Applied Psychology. Sofia’s background as a psychology graduate adds an edge to her paintings allowing her to pursue her interest for cognitive behaviour and perception two topics that fascinate her. Sofia has a flair and natural ability to transfer her feelings thoughts and emotions to a simple visual format. Her style is unique and innovative. She plays with the art of not knowing the outcome daring to provoke a result from the unexpected providing a meaningful experience for the viewer. Her complex methodology to the eye grows out of her life’s memoirs; her abstract paintings emerge from the unconscious. It is soothing therapy for Sofia and her viewers. “Best attribute for abstract paintings is the ability to create a deep conversation between strangers” When considering which artist inspire her, Sofia says she fears mind pollution, she prefers to keep her mind clear of techniques and attitudes, her technique and only technique is her individualistic perception of life. “Bad abstraction is contrived and forced and can very easily become clichéd.” Sofia has no competitor in her field. She is the one and only Sofia. No one can express feelings like she does. In addition, Sofia has written “The Expression of ImogensJazz” which includes her poetry and thoughts

Trained in textile design and progressed onto achieving a masters degree in fine art at Bretton Hall University, West Yorkshire. A natural transition occurred into capturing movement, fluidity and form. To maneuver, play and distort the most simplest of beautiful forms and giving them a poignancy in every day life is the artists upmost intention. Light, depth and space is created in her ability in applying interesting painterly techniques indicative of the artists style. Having exhibited her work on an international scale and with solo exhibitions forthcoming, she is fast developing into one of the most established, creative and reputable artists of our time.

Over the last four years Julia’s work has concentrated on exploring and developing inspirational ideas drawn from nature and plant life. Since graduating in 2003 with a degree in Three Dimensional Design from Manchester Metropolitan University her work has blossomed into new and experimental pieces. This passion to find and express her ideas through art began at a young age and has continued and grown into her current artistic practice today.

Artistic education- self taught. My work is mainly on display in bars, cafes and restaurants.
I was born in the north east of England and studied at Sunderland and Maidstone colleges of Art. Prior to this I wanted to become an actor and joined the National youth Theatre where I had a nightly embarrassing experience dancing with a chair in 'Zigger Zagger' which convinced me that acting wasn't the career for me. My work ranges from small to large paintings and drawings. I have designed sets, costumes and publicity for dance companies, done residencies and commissions in schools hospitals, theatres and arts centres. My paintings have been exhibited in London, Paris and Amsterdam and 'The Silent Scene' a touring exhibition which featured the work artists whose work is narrative. My public commissions include '100 fish-in-a-Tree' for Southampton City Arts, The 'Map' mural for the Royal county Hospital Brighton and 'Three Rivers One Sea' for the newly-built Oakgrove College - Worthing.

Painting has been Will�s main occupation for the past 25 years after a lifetimes work in graphic arts. Running his own London based design consultancy gave Will the confidence to trust his own judgement. Each new Painting, as far as he was concerned, was another design commission, without a client. He was sure that now the job could be done first and a client could be found. The Royal Academy of Arts, summer exhibition accepted his painting �Goodlands� early in his career. Painting conventionally at first, he exhibited at the Newlyn Orion Galleries and the Penwith Society of Arts, St.Ives. As well as work in the Mid Cornwall Gallery, he was runner up in the Sterts Figurative Art Competition in successive years.

I was born in 1982 in Lucknow, UP a state of India. I grew up with my parents and two brothers, though most of my life I lived out in hostels. In my early ages I grew up in beautiful surroundings of Mussoorie. The images transferred on to the canvas here are replete with nature that substitutes the external one translating feeling and emotions. I strongly believe art should energize and revitalize you along with giving you peace and pleasure. PART OF MY ACHIEVEMENTS § Solo Exhibition at Hotel Taj Palace, Delhi (July 2010) § “EYES AGAINST SPECTRUM” sold at Solo Exhibition Taj Palace § “BREATH WATCHING” sold at Solo Exhibition Hotel Taj Palace § “LADY PRINCESS” procured by Hotel Taj Palace § “STORM APPROACHING” purchased by a USA customer. § “THAT BURNING EVENING” sold in UK. § “THE ORANGE WALL” purchased by Absolutes BPO § “THE CONCRETE” part of 9th Indian Art Exhibition in Indonesia I always carried very specific eye for detail where ever I lived or worked. My creations share a love of realism and rustic pattern, mix of colors like blue, orange and grey that continues to be part of me. The creations are about the inner journey, one that portrays about a personal response to the landscape. Exploration, observation and careful thoughts are the key to success. Ideally there should be some interaction between size of the objects and horizon. Good composition is to judge what to leave out as it is and where to lay the detailing. For example, a greater depth of a field can be achieved by applying subdued colors and tones in the distance. I have a long relation with nature, probably since my childhood. I ask you, “where is the realism of yesterday?” Do you know the life they lived, the man made structures slowly creeping into the earth, smoke from the chimney of the mill floating up at an angle? John Cage very well said, “We need not destroy the past. It has gone.”
Pete Kelly was born in Cumbria, NW England in October, 1966. Son of military man and grew up in Germany with British Forces Schools.

Jay Rechsteiner who also works under the name Tobleroni was born in Switzerland in 1971 where he spent his childhood. In his early 20s Jay immigrated to Japan with his wife where he devoted his time to the study of art. About six years later he got divorced and set out on a journey through Asia back to Switzerland where he settled down for two years working as an artist while taking art courses at the College of Art and Design in Basel. Jay came to London in 2004. He exhibited internationally in Japan, France, Italy, Switzerland, Portugal and in the UK. Jay Rechsteiner is first and foremost a painter who is constantly questioning art, the art world, political & social events. There is a deep philosophical aspect in his work that manifests itself in a wide range of different paintings of various styles from crude, urban collage-style images to more sophisticated techniques based on computer-based graphic design. Under the name Tobleroni Jay works together with Victor 'Torpedo' Silveira AKA Sardine using the label The Monkey in the Box Company. This collaborative art project produces a vast amount of paintings of a very refreshing style challenging the contemporary sense of art and beauty. Jay Rechsteiner works also in other media such as video, video performance, installation and conceptual projects mainly exploring and defining what art actually is. He now lives and works in London, UK.
My work has been published for leading international publications. My last exhibition was for SAVE at the Hollywood Athletic Club in Los Angeles, California

I was born in Belize to Jamaican parents, where I lived until age four and spent the remainder of my childhood in Jamaica. My experience of life and art in Jamaica has had a huge impact on my work particularly my use of colour and love of found objects. It was in Jamaica where I first gained my fascination with everyday scenes and discarded materials. As a third-world country there is a wonderful imagination when it comes to finding new uses for objects and materials past their original use. In 2000 I completed a three-year studio arts program in Vancouver, Canada and went on to complete a BA in Painting at University of the Arts London in 2004. I have since worked as a freelance artist based in the UK where I have been invited to exhibit my work in both the UK and Europe. I have previously worked as a freelance draftsman, mural painter and artist in Canada and Jamaica. I have received a number of awards and honours during my artistic career. These include an award from the British Columbia Arts Council in Vancouver, a grant from the Urban Community Trust for a mural commission based in a London inner-city housing estate and produced with the help of a group of young people from the local community and a scholarship from the Salzburger Sparkasse Bank.

A contemporary sculptor and member of the Royal Society of British Sculptors. Widely exhibited in the UK and abroad. Commissions in the USA.
Julie Barrow graduated from Chelsea School of Art in London in 1995. During her time at Chelsea she focused on and developed a very strong drawing portfolio, utilising many still-life applications in her work. This portfolio saw her move into freelance textile design after graduating, specialising in English florals, drawn from life. Working from a small studio in South Kensington for the next three years, she quickly became a designer of choice for many of her regular American buyers. In 1999, she began to develop her first collection of paintings on canvas as an original artist. The collection, mainly acrylic with charcoal & chalk, included a series of 6 studies, all drawn from life. The collection sold out during her first exhibition of the work, at a small local gallery in Chislehurst, Kent, and this set in motion a change in the focus of Julie’s career from designer to original artist. A three month move to Lisbon in 2002, which lasted for four years (!) saw her work take on a new sensitivity and a greater sense of maturity, as she began to combine a huge variety of media in her work, from broken CD’s, to sand, glue and homemade papers. The use of subtle muted tones on these heavily textured grounds gave her paintings an inner life of their own. She completed several collections there, from images inspired by the beautiful cobbled streets with colourful washing lines, to work dedicated to the glamour and nostalgia of the traditional Portuguese bullfight. In 2006 Julie returned to the UK and has since been working on a new collection inspired by changes in herself, a metamorphosis which she is also documenting in the form of a book. Her new work continues to feature her trademark textural grounds, but the quiet muted tones have been replaced by brighter, more ephemeral colours. Julie now lives in Kent.
Having had a career in an unrelated field, I am largely self taught as a photographer, and only came to art nude work in 2004. I have no list of exhibitions behind me, but thoroughly enjoy the beautiful style in which I work and am happy to let the photographs represent themselves.
Jay Rechsteiner who also works under the name Tobleroni was born in Switzerland in 1971 where he spent his childhood. In his early 20s Jay immigrated to Japan with his wife where he devoted his time to the study of art. About six years later he got divorced and set out on a journey through Asia back to Switzerland where he settled down for two years working as an artist while taking art courses at the College of Art and Design in Basel. Jay came to London in 2004. He exhibited internationally in Japan, France, Italy, Switzerland, Portugal and in the UK. Jay Rechsteiner is first and foremost a painter who is constantly questioning art, the art world, political & social events. There is a deep philosophical aspect in his work that manifests itself in a wide range of different paintings of various styles from crude, urban collage-style images to more sophisticated techniques based on computer-based graphic design. Under the name Tobleroni Jay works together with Victor 'Torpedo' Silveira AKA Sardine using the label The Monkey in the Box Company. This collaborative art project produces a vast amount of paintings of a very refreshing style challenging the contemporary sense of art and beauty. Jay Rechsteiner works also in other media such as video, video performance, installation and conceptual projects mainly exploring and defining what art actually is. He now lives and works in London, UK.
Oil impasted thickly onto large canvases, layer over layer, spread like butter, then gouged to show the textures and folds of paint already lying beneath, have dominated Dariusz Romanowski�s painting style over the last couple of years. Two subject areas have been energised by this very physical application of paint; garden scenes and old women. In the garden scenes, the technique gives a tangible impression of organic growth, of nature recycling itself, new buds and shoots evolving out of the rotting vegetation of last years earthly fruits. The paint, so thick in places that it seems to exist independently of the canvas, becomes an integral part of this annual cycle. In contrast, in the unusual paintings of the old women, the oozing, languid application of oil mirrors their own physical deterioration, their ageing, slowing bodies, spreading out and losing their deftness of youth. The oil paint lazily moves over the surface of the paintings; in places its application is so thick it seems to be rotting and falling away. Many viewers have found the handling of this subject matter distressing, but these are sensitive paintings, and there is real character in the artist�s impressions. The images do not intend to degrade their subjects. The portraits depict weary, yet often bright eyed individuals, and their intimacy with one another gives them a curious force, perhaps he has captured the wisdom gained through their experiences of life? For these works, the use of bright colour, which flickers across the garden scenes, is less apparent, and the impressions rely on more golden�s and browns, matured colours which denote fading grandeur and bring to mind the self portraits of Rembrandt. Dariusz ascertains that he has painted all of the figures from his imagination, directly onto the canvas. The vision of the completed composition will come into his mind and remain there, often unchanged, until it has been transferred directly onto canvas by the artists brush. Such vision is an unusual attribute, but one which the artist maintains has been with him since a very young age. Copious sketch books reveal his childhood drawings; technically accomplished copies of Michaelangelo and Raphael cartoons, impressionist landscapes and German expressionist figures, amongst his own personal studies. Without an art school training , Romanowski, now in his late 20�s has taught himself the methods of the masters through familiarity; Bacon, Moore, Picasso, Degas�� they have all been his teachers, through their images and writings on art. His reverence for their contributions to the development of art history is not an uncritical one, however, and the artist is aware of why he thinks paintings don�t succeed as why they do. With his own progress, Romanowski is possibly at his most critical. He is beginning to move on from the subjects which have dominated the last couple of years, feeling that he has gleaned all the experiences he can from them. With this new departure comes a desire to discover fresh approaches and further subjects for his exploration, an endless process of examination of which he is certain he will never tire.

Sofia was born in 1977, Spain. As a child, growing up she discovered her love and passion for art. She spent 15 years in Madrid with her family before migrating to London. Sofia attended London Metropolitan University obtaining a Bsc (Hons) in Applied Psychology. Sofia’s background as a psychology graduate adds an edge to her paintings allowing her to pursue her interest for cognitive behaviour and perception two topics that fascinate her. Sofia has a flair and natural ability to transfer her feelings thoughts and emotions to a simple visual format. Her style is unique and innovative. She plays with the art of not knowing the outcome daring to provoke a result from the unexpected providing a meaningful experience for the viewer. Her complex methodology to the eye grows out of her life’s memoirs; her abstract paintings emerge from the unconscious. It is soothing therapy for Sofia and her viewers. “Best attribute for abstract paintings is the ability to create a deep conversation between strangers” When considering which artist inspire her, Sofia says she fears mind pollution, she prefers to keep her mind clear of techniques and attitudes, her technique and only technique is her individualistic perception of life. “Bad abstraction is contrived and forced and can very easily become clichéd.” Sofia has no competitor in her field. She is the one and only Sofia. No one can express feelings like she does. In addition, Sofia has written “The Expression of ImogensJazz” which includes her poetry and thoughts

Birth Place: I was born on March 21, 1968 in a small village called Jhilna, Patuakhali, Bangladesh. Education: I studied fine arts, painting and drawing at the Institute of Fine Arts, University of Dhaka, Bangladesh 1984/89, Master Drawing of the human figure at the Guildhall University, London 1989/90, Art and Art History at the Goldsmith’s College, University of London 1991/92 and Philosophy of Arts at the Open University, 1997 UK. Life in UK: Since 1991 I have lived and worked in England, taking my inspiration from psychology, philosophy, classical music and observation and involvement in urban (and some rural) life and environment. By producing work that is far from traditional, I actively attempt to destabilize static ideas of art; my own art is a synthesis of colour, compositional element and immediacy of presentation combined into unusual forms. In late January 1995 I moved from London to Brockhall Village at the heart of the Ribble Valley, Lancashire. After a year and half I moved to London in November 1996 to establish a gallery and carry on my art work. My experiment: I am now experimenting with oil colour, acrylic, water colour and glass. Light, powder colour, cloth, water, smoke, snow and sound have been used in my audio-visual installations. Some of my work has involved features of both painting and sculpture and this has given it a hybrid character.
I was born in Belize to Jamaican parents, where I lived until age four and spent the remainder of my childhood in Jamaica. My experience of life and art in Jamaica has had a huge impact on my work particularly my use of colour and love of found objects. It was in Jamaica where I first gained my fascination with everyday scenes and discarded materials. As a third-world country there is a wonderful imagination when it comes to finding new uses for objects and materials past their original use. In 2000 I completed a three-year studio arts program in Vancouver, Canada and went on to complete a BA in Painting at University of the Arts London in 2004. I have since worked as a freelance artist based in the UK where I have been invited to exhibit my work in both the UK and Europe. I have previously worked as a freelance draftsman, mural painter and artist in Canada and Jamaica. I have received a number of awards and honours during my artistic career. These include an award from the British Columbia Arts Council in Vancouver, a grant from the Urban Community Trust for a mural commission based in a London inner-city housing estate and produced with the help of a group of young people from the local community and a scholarship from the Salzburger Sparkasse Bank.
I learnt to paint and draw at my mothers knee. She was a professional painter and illustrator. But my first career was as an actress ,and it wasn't until some time later that I started painting professionally, as a muralist. I painted commissioned murals for twenty five years,-clients including Mohamed Al Fayed, Ozzy Osbourne, The Forte family and Cherie Lunghi. Also many corporate commissions for Hospitals, hotels, Health Spas and restaurants. I now paint what inspires me, and my present passion is India, which I discovered while painting a mural there for seven months. Exhibitions include- Sackville Gallery, Piccadilly. The Art Connoisseur Gallery, Crawford St, London. The Fountain Gallery, Hampton Court. Battersea Contemporary Art Fair. The Wonderwall Gallery, Cirencester. Landmark Art Centre, Teddington, Edith Grove Gallery, Earls court, London Solo Exhibition, Indian High Commission, Mayfair.
Until 1997 I was a psychologist, writer, musician and dreamer who took photographs and painted in his spare time. Then I discovered the potential of digital technology to combine ALL of these things in a single medium. Officially known as ‘lens-based digital art’, I see it as ‘painting by other means’ using fragments of photographic images. Passion became obsession as it gradually took over my life. I finally left my day jobs in mental health and the treatment of heroin addiction in April 2004 to become a full-time artist. Since then I have exhibited in many high profile galleries across the north of England - including Dean Clough in Halifax, the Cupola gallery in Sheffield, and the Leeds Design Innovations Centre – and also in Dubai. I have also completed a wide range of public, private and corporate commissions.

I am 'REAL' a north london graffiti artist. I have always had a passion for graffiti art and my work reflects that passion. I teach urban art workshops at the moment and i am trying to become a freelance artist along the way. I work on canvas, vinyl, board and lots of other mediums. I hope you like and enjoy my work.

After working in the graphic design industry for over 8 years, with so many existing clients working within creative sectors, it was inevitable that I would branch out there too! I'm fairly new to the art world, but enjoy taking on commissions for both paintings and photography, and hope to provide something for everyone.

Born in France, raised in the USA and in France, now resident in the UK for 17 years, Laury Dizengremel is an award-winning sculptor whose work features in public parks, museums, corporate and private collections around the world. She first studied sculpture with Martine Vaugel (a direct line of instruction traced back to Rodin). Then by herself, continued learning on an ad hoc basis various techniques and processes. After working as a freelance sculptor for over 25 years, she decided to get a degree (both to re-evaluate her practice and to teach) and was accepted onto a Masters course in Canterbury. She is now completing this Master of Fine Arts International Practice degree and is slated to graduate in September 2006.

I come from an art/music background. Currently signed to Island records uk. under the name Portobella. To date my work has been included exclusively in record sleeves, posters, video treatments and magazines. My first exhibition - "Icon" - took place in Soho, London in 2005 to great success.
Julie Barrow graduated from Chelsea School of Art in London in 1995. During her time at Chelsea she focused on and developed a very strong drawing portfolio, utilising many still-life applications in her work. This portfolio saw her move into freelance textile design after graduating, specialising in English florals, drawn from life. Working from a small studio in South Kensington for the next three years, she quickly became a designer of choice for many of her regular American buyers. In 1999, she began to develop her first collection of paintings on canvas as an original artist. The collection, mainly acrylic with charcoal & chalk, included a series of 6 studies, all drawn from life. The collection sold out during her first exhibition of the work, at a small local gallery in Chislehurst, Kent, and this set in motion a change in the focus of Julie’s career from designer to original artist. A three month move to Lisbon in 2002, which lasted for four years (!) saw her work take on a new sensitivity and a greater sense of maturity, as she began to combine a huge variety of media in her work, from broken CD’s, to sand, glue and homemade papers. The use of subtle muted tones on these heavily textured grounds gave her paintings an inner life of their own. She completed several collections there, from images inspired by the beautiful cobbled streets with colourful washing lines, to work dedicated to the glamour and nostalgia of the traditional Portuguese bullfight. In 2006 Julie returned to the UK and has since been working on a new collection inspired by changes in herself, a metamorphosis which she is also documenting in the form of a book. Her new work continues to feature her trademark textural grounds, but the quiet muted tones have been replaced by brighter, more ephemeral colours. Julie now lives in Kent.

I was born in 1982 in Lucknow, UP a state of India. I grew up with my parents and two brothers, though most of my life I lived out in hostels. In my early ages I grew up in beautiful surroundings of Mussoorie. The images transferred on to the canvas here are replete with nature that substitutes the external one translating feeling and emotions. I strongly believe art should energize and revitalize you along with giving you peace and pleasure. PART OF MY ACHIEVEMENTS § Solo Exhibition at Hotel Taj Palace, Delhi (July 2010) § “EYES AGAINST SPECTRUM” sold at Solo Exhibition Taj Palace § “BREATH WATCHING” sold at Solo Exhibition Hotel Taj Palace § “LADY PRINCESS” procured by Hotel Taj Palace § “STORM APPROACHING” purchased by a USA customer. § “THAT BURNING EVENING” sold in UK. § “THE ORANGE WALL” purchased by Absolutes BPO § “THE CONCRETE” part of 9th Indian Art Exhibition in Indonesia I always carried very specific eye for detail where ever I lived or worked. My creations share a love of realism and rustic pattern, mix of colors like blue, orange and grey that continues to be part of me. The creations are about the inner journey, one that portrays about a personal response to the landscape. Exploration, observation and careful thoughts are the key to success. Ideally there should be some interaction between size of the objects and horizon. Good composition is to judge what to leave out as it is and where to lay the detailing. For example, a greater depth of a field can be achieved by applying subdued colors and tones in the distance. I have a long relation with nature, probably since my childhood. I ask you, “where is the realism of yesterday?” Do you know the life they lived, the man made structures slowly creeping into the earth, smoke from the chimney of the mill floating up at an angle? John Cage very well said, “We need not destroy the past. It has gone.”

I have studied art for over 6 years, both at Telford College in Edinburgh and latterly at Moray School of Art. i have also had several exhibitions and sold my artwotk at home and abroad
Suffering and Art, I am told, go hand in hand. This should put me in good stead, as over the last decade I seem to have turned my suffering into a career. Revelling in self pity and the futility of it all, abusing body and mind until I could do little else, the inevitable eventually happened. In 1998 I cracked. I became a stuttering wreck and entered the not so strange world of the mentally ill. I seemed to fit in well! But what to do with my time? Art. I used to like art. I had, in fact, been a professional landscape artist in the 80's, but my business acumen, or the lack of it, had made for a very short career. And then it happened. I discovered acrylics and canvas and I became a born again artist! Escaping into a world that wasn't quite as harmful, a world that actually seemed to have some sort of point, a world where I wasn't totally useless, a world that just might keep me alive..... for a while. So what now?............

Jay Rechsteiner who also works under the name Tobleroni was born in Switzerland in 1971 where he spent his childhood. In his early 20s Jay immigrated to Japan with his wife where he devoted his time to the study of art. About six years later he got divorced and set out on a journey through Asia back to Switzerland where he settled down for two years working as an artist while taking art courses at the College of Art and Design in Basel. Jay came to London in 2004. He exhibited internationally in Japan, France, Italy, Switzerland, Portugal and in the UK. Jay Rechsteiner is first and foremost a painter who is constantly questioning art, the art world, political & social events. There is a deep philosophical aspect in his work that manifests itself in a wide range of different paintings of various styles from crude, urban collage-style images to more sophisticated techniques based on computer-based graphic design. Under the name Tobleroni Jay works together with Victor 'Torpedo' Silveira AKA Sardine using the label The Monkey in the Box Company. This collaborative art project produces a vast amount of paintings of a very refreshing style challenging the contemporary sense of art and beauty. Jay Rechsteiner works also in other media such as video, video performance, installation and conceptual projects mainly exploring and defining what art actually is. He now lives and works in London, UK.

Original paintings and commissions unique to you and your space. I enjoy escaping to the countryside, especially the south west where I draw inspiration from rolling hills, sweeping skies and pockets of nature.
The ever-changing effects of light on the Cornish coast fascinate me. I specialise in painting with oils and try to capture this quality of light through my observational and detailed style. As well as commissions I have been exhibiting my work locally in group exhibitions and one-man shows at numerous Cornish and national galleries over the last seven+ years. These include: the National Trust's 'Trelissick Gallery', Truro's 'Lander Gallery' and the Island gallery in St Ives. More recently I have been exhibiting at art fairs and further a field in Cirencester, Cheltenham, Brighton, London and California.

Sofia was born in 1977, Spain. As a child, growing up she discovered her love and passion for art. She spent 15 years in Madrid with her family before migrating to London. Sofia attended London Metropolitan University obtaining a Bsc (Hons) in Applied Psychology. Sofia’s background as a psychology graduate adds an edge to her paintings allowing her to pursue her interest for cognitive behaviour and perception two topics that fascinate her. Sofia has a flair and natural ability to transfer her feelings thoughts and emotions to a simple visual format. Her style is unique and innovative. She plays with the art of not knowing the outcome daring to provoke a result from the unexpected providing a meaningful experience for the viewer. Her complex methodology to the eye grows out of her life’s memoirs; her abstract paintings emerge from the unconscious. It is soothing therapy for Sofia and her viewers. “Best attribute for abstract paintings is the ability to create a deep conversation between strangers” When considering which artist inspire her, Sofia says she fears mind pollution, she prefers to keep her mind clear of techniques and attitudes, her technique and only technique is her individualistic perception of life. “Bad abstraction is contrived and forced and can very easily become clichéd.” Sofia has no competitor in her field. She is the one and only Sofia. No one can express feelings like she does. In addition, Sofia has written “The Expression of ImogensJazz” which includes her poetry and thoughts

I was born in 1970 in Chicago, USA and immigrated to the UK thirteen years ago. I studied oil painting and printmaking privately with an artist Annette Johnson in Greenwich, London. My artwork is in private collections in the US, UK, and Japan and is represented or exhibited regularly in London, Cornwall and the southeast. My paintings have also been shown in group exhibitions at the National Maritime Museum, Dulwich Picture Gallery and with the Pastel Society and Royal Society of Marine Artists at the Mall Galleries in London. In 2002 I was artist-in-residence in Pouch Cove, Newfoundland where I had the opportunity to experiment with acrylic paints, which I now use almost exclusively. Because of my scientific background I'm also fascinated by the chemical and physical processes involved in the painting materials and colour perception.

He has a wealth of experience in teaching the artistically challenged and is an expert at building confidence in drawing.

The book then works up from these confidence-builders to show how easy it is to improve and have a go with more adventurous materials such as acrylics and watercolours. John Blake Publishing. Foreword by Richard & Judy. • On New Year’s Eve 2000, Millennium night, he was commissioned by Channel Four to paint Johnny Vaughan and Lisa Tarbuck, live on air, for ‘The Biggest Breakfast Ever’. • Christian has exhibited extensively at shows and galleries around the world, including the National Portrait Gallery, London • Christian was commissioned by Robinsons last year 2005 to mark their 70 years on Centre Court.

I was born in 1982 in Lucknow, UP a state of India. I grew up with my parents and two brothers, though most of my life I lived out in hostels. In my early ages I grew up in beautiful surroundings of Mussoorie. The images transferred on to the canvas here are replete with nature that substitutes the external one translating feeling and emotions. I strongly believe art should energize and revitalize you along with giving you peace and pleasure. PART OF MY ACHIEVEMENTS § Solo Exhibition at Hotel Taj Palace, Delhi (July 2010) § “EYES AGAINST SPECTRUM” sold at Solo Exhibition Taj Palace § “BREATH WATCHING” sold at Solo Exhibition Hotel Taj Palace § “LADY PRINCESS” procured by Hotel Taj Palace § “STORM APPROACHING” purchased by a USA customer. § “THAT BURNING EVENING” sold in UK. § “THE ORANGE WALL” purchased by Absolutes BPO § “THE CONCRETE” part of 9th Indian Art Exhibition in Indonesia I always carried very specific eye for detail where ever I lived or worked. My creations share a love of realism and rustic pattern, mix of colors like blue, orange and grey that continues to be part of me. The creations are about the inner journey, one that portrays about a personal response to the landscape. Exploration, observation and careful thoughts are the key to success. Ideally there should be some interaction between size of the objects and horizon. Good composition is to judge what to leave out as it is and where to lay the detailing. For example, a greater depth of a field can be achieved by applying subdued colors and tones in the distance. I have a long relation with nature, probably since my childhood. I ask you, “where is the realism of yesterday?” Do you know the life they lived, the man made structures slowly creeping into the earth, smoke from the chimney of the mill floating up at an angle? John Cage very well said, “We need not destroy the past. It has gone.”
Until 1997 I was a psychologist, writer, musician and dreamer who took photographs and painted in his spare time. Then I discovered the potential of digital technology to combine ALL of these things in a single medium. Officially known as ‘lens-based digital art’, I see it as ‘painting by other means’ using fragments of photographic images. Passion became obsession as it gradually took over my life. I finally left my day jobs in mental health and the treatment of heroin addiction in April 2004 to become a full-time artist. Since then I have exhibited in many high profile galleries across the north of England - including Dean Clough in Halifax, the Cupola gallery in Sheffield, and the Leeds Design Innovations Centre – and also in Dubai. I have also completed a wide range of public, private and corporate commissions.

Jay Rechsteiner who also works under the name Tobleroni was born in Switzerland in 1971 where he spent his childhood. In his early 20s Jay immigrated to Japan with his wife where he devoted his time to the study of art. About six years later he got divorced and set out on a journey through Asia back to Switzerland where he settled down for two years working as an artist while taking art courses at the College of Art and Design in Basel. Jay came to London in 2004. He exhibited internationally in Japan, France, Italy, Switzerland, Portugal and in the UK. Jay Rechsteiner is first and foremost a painter who is constantly questioning art, the art world, political & social events. There is a deep philosophical aspect in his work that manifests itself in a wide range of different paintings of various styles from crude, urban collage-style images to more sophisticated techniques based on computer-based graphic design. Under the name Tobleroni Jay works together with Victor 'Torpedo' Silveira AKA Sardine using the label The Monkey in the Box Company. This collaborative art project produces a vast amount of paintings of a very refreshing style challenging the contemporary sense of art and beauty. Jay Rechsteiner works also in other media such as video, video performance, installation and conceptual projects mainly exploring and defining what art actually is.

Jay Rechsteiner who also works under the name Tobleroni was born in Switzerland in 1971 where he spent his childhood. In his early 20s Jay immigrated to Japan with his wife where he devoted his time to the study of art. About six years later he got divorced and set out on a journey through Asia back to Switzerland where he settled down for two years working as an artist while taking art courses at the College of Art and Design in Basel. Jay came to London in 2004. He exhibited internationally in Japan, France, Italy, Switzerland, Portugal and in the UK. Jay Rechsteiner is first and foremost a painter who is constantly questioning art, the art world, political & social events. There is a deep philosophical aspect in his work that manifests itself in a wide range of different paintings of various styles from crude, urban collage-style images to more sophisticated techniques based on computer-based graphic design. Under the name Tobleroni Jay works together with Victor 'Torpedo' Silveira AKA Sardine using the label The Monkey in the Box Company. This collaborative art project produces a vast amount of paintings of a very refreshing style challenging the contemporary sense of art and beauty. Jay Rechsteiner works also in other media such as video, video performance, installation and conceptual projects mainly exploring and defining what art actually is. He now lives and works in London, UK.
I was born in Chesterfield, Derbyshire in 1971. I live in the Peak District in a village called Belper which is a wonderful source of inspiration for me. The aim of my work is to re-create the feeling of the outdoors, to give the viewer a desire to step into the work and experience the landscape as I see and feel it. I am currently undertaking a BA (hons) degree in Fine Art at the uniiversity of Derby

Trained in textile design and progressed onto achieving a masters degree in fine art at Bretton Hall University, West Yorkshire. A natural transition occurred into capturing movement, fluidity and form. To maneuver, play and distort the most simplest of beautiful forms and giving them a poignancy in every day life is the artists upmost intention. Light, depth and space is created in her ability in applying interesting painterly techniques indicative of the artists style. Having exhibited her work on an international scale and with solo exhibitions forthcoming, she is fast developing into one of the most established, creative and reputable artists of our time.

Birth Place: I was born on March 21, 1968 in a small village called Jhilna, Patuakhali, Bangladesh. Education: I studied fine arts, painting and drawing at the Institute of Fine Arts, University of Dhaka, Bangladesh 1984/89, Master Drawing of the human figure at the Guildhall University, London 1989/90, Art and Art History at the Goldsmith’s College, University of London 1991/92 and Philosophy of Arts at the Open University, 1997 UK. Life in UK: Since 1991 I have lived and worked in England, taking my inspiration from psychology, philosophy, classical music and observation and involvement in urban (and some rural) life and environment. By producing work that is far from traditional, I actively attempt to destabilize static ideas of art; my own art is a synthesis of colour, compositional element and immediacy of presentation combined into unusual forms. In late January 1995 I moved from London to Brockhall Village at the heart of the Ribble Valley, Lancashire. After a year and half I moved to London in November 1996 to establish a gallery and carry on my art work. My experiment: I am now experimenting with oil colour, acrylic, water colour and glass. Light, powder colour, cloth, water, smoke, snow and sound have been used in my audio-visual installations. Some of my work has involved features of both painting and sculpture and this has given it a hybrid character.

After working in the graphic design industry for over 8 years, with so many existing clients working within creative sectors, it was inevitable that I would branch out there too!

Jay Rechsteiner who also works under the name Tobleroni was born in Switzerland in 1971 where he spent his childhood. In his early 20s Jay immigrated to Japan with his wife where he devoted his time to the study of art. About six years later he got divorced and set out on a journey through Asia back to Switzerland where he settled down for two years working as an artist while taking art courses at the College of Art and Design in Basel. Jay came to London in 2004. He exhibited internationally in Japan, France, Italy, Switzerland, Portugal and in the UK. Jay Rechsteiner is first and foremost a painter who is constantly questioning art, the art world, political & social events. There is a deep philosophical aspect in his work that manifests itself in a wide range of different paintings of various styles from crude, urban collage-style images to more sophisticated techniques based on computer-based graphic design. Under the name Tobleroni Jay works together with Victor 'Torpedo' Silveira AKA Sardine using the label The Monkey in the Box Company. This collaborative art project produces a vast amount of paintings of a very refreshing style challenging the contemporary sense of art and beauty. Jay Rechsteiner works also in other media such as video, video performance, installation and conceptual projects mainly exploring and defining what art actually is. He now lives and works in London, UK.
The ever-changing effects of light on the Cornish coast fascinate me. I specialise in painting with oils and try to capture this quality of light through my observational and detailed style. As well as commissions I have been exhibiting my work locally in group exhibitions and one-man shows at numerous Cornish and national galleries over the last seven+ years. These include: the National Trust's 'Trelissick Gallery', Truro's 'Lander Gallery' and the Island gallery in St Ives. More recently I have been exhibiting at art fairs and further a field in Cirencester, Cheltenham, Brighton, London and California.
Artistic education- self taught. My work is mainly on display in bars, cafes and restaurants.

I have graduated from the University of hertfordshire and since then have exhibited work in Europe and London. In amsterdam I was involved in a groupexhibition based around the theme of Tracks. We had to promote and produce work for the show in the space of two weeks. I have also ben involved with a performance festival n Russia, St Petersburgh where myself and another artist calloborated on a piece of work that asked for secrets. I have also had two paintings exhibited at the Barge House on the london South Bank and more recently have had my photos included n the March issue of "Media Magazine" a web based publication.
Oil impasted thickly onto large canvases, layer over layer, spread like butter, then gouged to show the textures and folds of paint already lying beneath, have dominated Dariusz Romanowski�s painting style over the last couple of years. Two subject areas have been energised by this very physical application of paint; garden scenes and old women. In the garden scenes, the technique gives a tangible impression of organic growth, of nature recycling itself, new buds and shoots evolving out of the rotting vegetation of last years earthly fruits. The paint, so thick in places that it seems to exist independently of the canvas, becomes an integral part of this annual cycle. In contrast, in the unusual paintings of the old women, the oozing, languid application of oil mirrors their own physical deterioration, their ageing, slowing bodies, spreading out and losing their deftness of youth. The oil paint lazily moves over the surface of the paintings; in places its application is so thick it seems to be rotting and falling away. Many viewers have found the handling of this subject matter distressing, but these are sensitive paintings, and there is real character in the artist�s impressions. The images do not intend to degrade their subjects. The portraits depict weary, yet often bright eyed individuals, and their intimacy with one another gives them a curious force, perhaps he has captured the wisdom gained through their experiences of life? For these works, the use of bright colour, which flickers across the garden scenes, is less apparent, and the impressions rely on more golden�s and browns, matured colours which denote fading grandeur and bring to mind the self portraits of Rembrandt. Dariusz ascertains that he has painted all of the figures from his imagination, directly onto the canvas. The vision of the completed composition will come into his mind and remain there, often unchanged, until it has been transferred directly onto canvas by the artists brush. Such vision is an unusual attribute, but one which the artist maintains has been with him since a very young age. Copious sketch books reveal his childhood drawings; technically accomplished copies of Michaelangelo and Raphael cartoons, impressionist landscapes and German expressionist figures, amongst his own personal studies. Without an art school training , Romanowski, now in his late 20�s has taught himself the methods of the masters through familiarity; Bacon, Moore, Picasso, Degas�� they have all been his teachers, through their images and writings on art. His reverence for their contributions to the development of art history is not an uncritical one, however, and the artist is aware of why he thinks paintings don�t succeed as why they do. With his own progress, Romanowski is possibly at his most critical. He is beginning to move on from the subjects which have dominated the last couple of years, feeling that he has gleaned all the experiences he can from them. With this new departure comes a desire to discover fresh approaches and further subjects for his exploration, an endless process of examination of which he is certain he will never tire.

I initially trained as a Technical Illustrator specialising in cutaway drawings and airbrush renderings. With the advent of CAD and the desktop publishing era I re-trained as a Graphic Designer and worked as a designer/illustrator and lecturer in drawing and graphic communication. My work became increasingly concerned with layout and typography and I subsequently founded a graphic design company. Life drawing and painting has underpinned all the creative work I've been involved in. It is the one constant in my career to date. I continue painting and drawing in order to counterbalance the direction of my other creative work which is virtually all computer based.

Sofia was born in 1977, Spain. As a child, growing up she discovered her love and passion for art. She spent 15 years in Madrid with her family before migrating to London. Sofia attended London Metropolitan University obtaining a Bsc (Hons) in Applied Psychology. Sofia’s background as a psychology graduate adds an edge to her paintings allowing her to pursue her interest for cognitive behaviour and perception two topics that fascinate her. Sofia has a flair and natural ability to transfer her feelings thoughts and emotions to a simple visual format. Her style is unique and innovative. She plays with the art of not knowing the outcome daring to provoke a result from the unexpected providing a meaningful experience for the viewer. Her complex methodology to the eye grows out of her life’s memoirs; her abstract paintings emerge from the unconscious. It is soothing therapy for Sofia and her viewers. “Best attribute for abstract paintings is the ability to create a deep conversation between strangers” When considering which artist inspire her, Sofia says she fears mind pollution, she prefers to keep her mind clear of techniques and attitudes, her technique and only technique is her individualistic perception of life. “Bad abstraction is contrived and forced and can very easily become clichéd.” Sofia has no competitor in her field. She is the one and only Sofia. No one can express feelings like she does. In addition, Sofia has written “The Expression of ImogensJazz” which includes her poetry and thoughts

Self taught artist with many years expererience working in interior design. Inspired by colour, texture and the play of light.
I was born in Belize to Jamaican parents, where I lived until age four and spent the remainder of my childhood in Jamaica. My experience of life and art in Jamaica has had a huge impact on my work particularly my use of colour and love of found objects. It was in Jamaica where I first gained my fascination with everyday scenes and discarded materials. As a third-world country there is a wonderful imagination when it comes to finding new uses for objects and materials past their original use. In 2000 I completed a three-year studio arts program in Vancouver, Canada and went on to complete a BA in Painting at University of the Arts London in 2004. I have since worked as a freelance artist based in the UK where I have been invited to exhibit my work in both the UK and Europe. I have previously worked as a freelance draftsman, mural painter and artist in Canada and Jamaica. I have received a number of awards and honours during my artistic career. These include an award from the British Columbia Arts Council in Vancouver, a grant from the Urban Community Trust for a mural commission based in a London inner-city housing estate and produced with the help of a group of young people from the local community and a scholarship from the Salzburger Sparkasse Bank.
Graduauted from University of Wolverhampton in 2005.I Have been concentrating on producing work and setting up studio place since then. I have exhibited in the uk and abroad.

Angela trained at the Sir Henry Doulton School of Sculpture, Fenton, Stoke-on-Trent, from 1990-1992, after working in science based industry and education. Her corporate commissions include ‘Discovery’ sculpture, for Royal Doulton was exhibited in the British Pavilion at Expo 92 in Seville. ‘Harmony’ formed part of Stapeley Water Garden’s display at Chelsea Flower Show, and led to garden sculpture commissions such as her ‘Flower Fairies’ shown at the major flower shows, and featured in the media, and are in private collections throughout the UK and as far away as New Zealand. A local commission was to reproduce the logo in 3D for one of the sponsors of the Commonwealth Games. She exhibits extensively both sculpture and paintings, and participates in workshops as well as developing her own work and doing portraiture. NB Postage costs outside the UK given on request.
Oil impasted thickly onto large canvases, layer over layer, spread like butter, then gouged to show the textures and folds of paint already lying beneath, have dominated Dariusz Romanowski�s painting style over the last couple of years. Two subject areas have been energised by this very physical application of paint; garden scenes and old women. In the garden scenes, the technique gives a tangible impression of organic growth, of nature recycling itself, new buds and shoots evolving out of the rotting vegetation of last years earthly fruits. The paint, so thick in places that it seems to exist independently of the canvas, becomes an integral part of this annual cycle. In contrast, in the unusual paintings of the old women, the oozing, languid application of oil mirrors their own physical deterioration, their ageing, slowing bodies, spreading out and losing their deftness of youth. The oil paint lazily moves over the surface of the paintings; in places its application is so thick it seems to be rotting and falling away. Many viewers have found the handling of this subject matter distressing, but these are sensitive paintings, and there is real character in the artist�s impressions. The images do not intend to degrade their subjects. The portraits depict weary, yet often bright eyed individuals, and their intimacy with one another gives them a curious force, perhaps he has captured the wisdom gained through their experiences of life? For these works, the use of bright colour, which flickers across the garden scenes, is less apparent, and the impressions rely on more golden�s and browns, matured colours which denote fading grandeur and bring to mind the self portraits of Rembrandt. Dariusz ascertains that he has painted all of the figures from his imagination, directly onto the canvas. The vision of the completed composition will come into his mind and remain there, often unchanged, until it has been transferred directly onto canvas by the artists brush. Such vision is an unusual attribute, but one which the artist maintains has been with him since a very young age. Copious sketch books reveal his childhood drawings; technically accomplished copies of Michaelangelo and Raphael cartoons, impressionist landscapes and German expressionist figures, amongst his own personal studies. Without an art school training , Romanowski, now in his late 20�s has taught himself the methods of the masters through familiarity; Bacon, Moore, Picasso, Degas�� they have all been his teachers, through their images and writings on art. His reverence for their contributions to the development of art history is not an uncritical one, however, and the artist is aware of why he thinks paintings don�t succeed as why they do. With his own progress, Romanowski is possibly at his most critical. He is beginning to move on from the subjects which have dominated the last couple of years, feeling that he has gleaned all the experiences he can from them. With this new departure comes a desire to discover fresh approaches and further subjects for his exploration, an endless process of examination of which he is certain he will never tire.

Jay Rechsteiner who also works under the name Tobleroni was born in Switzerland in 1971 where he spent his childhood. In his early 20s Jay immigrated to Japan with his wife where he devoted his time to the study of art. About six years later he got divorced and set out on a journey through Asia back to Switzerland where he settled down for two years working as an artist while taking art courses at the College of Art and Design in Basel. Jay came to London in 2004. He exhibited internationally in Japan, France, Italy, Switzerland, Portugal and in the UK. Jay Rechsteiner is first and foremost a painter who is constantly questioning art, the art world, political & social events. There is a deep philosophical aspect in his work that manifests itself in a wide range of different paintings of various styles from crude, urban collage-style images to more sophisticated techniques based on computer-based graphic design. Under the name Tobleroni Jay works together with Victor 'Torpedo' Silveira AKA Sardine using the label The Monkey in the Box Company. This collaborative art project produces a vast amount of paintings of a very refreshing style challenging the contemporary sense of art and beauty. Jay Rechsteiner works also in other media such as video, video performance, installation and conceptual projects mainly exploring and defining what art actually is. He now lives and works in London, UK.

Painting has been Will�s main occupation for the past 25 years after a lifetimes work in graphic arts. Running his own London based design consultancy gave Will the confidence to trust his own judgement. Each new Painting, as far as he was concerned, was another design commission, without a client. He was sure that now the job could be done first and a client could be found. The Royal Academy of Arts, summer exhibition accepted his painting �Goodlands� early in his career. Painting conventionally at first, he exhibited at the Newlyn Orion Galleries and the Penwith Society of Arts, St.Ives. As well as work in the Mid Cornwall Gallery, he was runner up in the Sterts Figurative Art Competition in successive years.

She is now completing this Master of Fine Arts International Practice degree and is slated to graduate in September 2006.
Since attending Dartington College of Arts in Devon in 1977-8 as a mature student, I have worked consistently as a painter and a muralist in a variety of media, both in the UK and on the Continent. I held solo exhibitions in Torquay in the 80s and between 1989 and 1994 whilst travelling in Europe, exhibited work in several galleries in France and on the Algarve. In the 90s, as a member of the Salon des Peintres on the Ile de Re in France, I participated in summer exhibitions with much success, and sold through local galleries on the Island. I exhibited for some years with SAG Galleries in London and held solo exhibitions in many Kent venues, including Tonbridge, Sevenoaks, Dartford and Sidcup. Since moving to Romney Marsh in 1999 I have taken part in local exhibitions, held open studios and participated in the South East Open Studios event, held in June each year. I display my paintings in the Old High Street in Folkestone during the summer as part of a scheme for the regeneration of this historic area, and am a a member of the Romney Marsh Art Society and Forge Art Society.

Anita Klein might say the same of her art. There is a grand simplicity to her works, but that is not the same as saying that they lack subtlety and ambiguity. On the contrary, they have the sort of unselfconscious directness that comes from living and breathing art for so long that it becomes second nature” John Russell Taylor, The Times, London. -“A strong, quirkily humorous depiction of quotidian events” - Nick Andrew, Galleries magazine -“The pictures, which celebrate the small moments of life which often go unappreciated, are warm, witty and quite delightful” - Julia Weiner, Jewish Chronicle -“It is quite brave not only to have a subject matter to your painting these days but also to be fascinated by such ordinary things. There are no desperate attempts to shock, expose or outrage; simply poignant moments showing the things which you would most miss if they were taken away from you” - Helen Smithson, Ham & High. -“Celebrating oases of joy in the quotidian, Anita Klein builds a personal archive, brimming with charisma and wit, that can be identified with by everyone” - Britart.com -“It is nice to have a real humorist recruited to the ranks of gifted painters. She is to be congratulated on livening up our dreary lives” - Guy Burn, Art Review. -“Star of the show for me is the spare, knowing, subversive and comic work of a young painter called Anita Klein” - Godfrey Smith, Sunday Times -“A blithe demonstration of intimacy” - William Zimmer, New York Times -"She is an artist of extraordinary verve and lyrical touch...These images are mirrors of a resonant delight in the moment, an exuberant and infectious love of life. Unfashionable as it is, Anita Klein’s work actually makes us happy." David Carpanini PRE -“ Anita Klein renders the ordinary existence into a celebration of life - mostly based on her family. Her style is remarkably and unmistakably individual - her brilliant palette (based on her Australian childhood?), great compositions and draughtsmanship (hardly to be attributed to the Slade - when she studied there, figurative art was out of favour) all reveal a highly committed and uncompromising artist.” Agi Katz, Boundary Gallery London -‘I know she’s got a quirky scale and that the figures are larger than life,’ says Jenny Groom, owner of a cookery school in Wiltshire, who bought one of Anita Klein’s oil paintings five years ago, ‘but it just accentuates their personality. The painting I have is called "Tuesday Evening", and it shows two women sitting across the table from one another, each holding a glass of wine. You just know they’ve got rid of their husbands and the kids are in bed and they’re having a good gossip, and it makes me laugh every time I look at it. She observes the minutiae of family life - the little things we do that are important to us. If my house was burning down, this is what I’d save.’(Quoted in the Telegraph Magazine 2004)

Julie Barrow graduated from Chelsea School of Art in London in 1995. During her time at Chelsea she focused on and developed a very strong drawing portfolio, utilising many still-life applications in her work. This portfolio saw her move into freelance textile design after graduating, specialising in English florals, drawn from life. Working from a small studio in South Kensington for the next three years, she quickly became a designer of choice for many of her regular American buyers. In 1999, she began to develop her first collection of paintings on canvas as an original artist. The collection, mainly acrylic with charcoal & chalk, included a series of 6 studies, all drawn from life. The collection sold out during her first exhibition of the work, at a small local gallery in Chislehurst, Kent, and this set in motion a change in the focus of Julie’s career from designer to original artist. A three month move to Lisbon in 2002, which lasted for four years (!) saw her work take on a new sensitivity and a greater sense of maturity, as she began to combine a huge variety of media in her work, from broken CD’s, to sand, glue and homemade papers. The use of subtle muted tones on these heavily textured grounds gave her paintings an inner life of their own. She completed several collections there, from images inspired by the beautiful cobbled streets with colourful washing lines, to work dedicated to the glamour and nostalgia of the traditional Portuguese bullfight. In 2006 Julie returned to the UK and has since been working on a new collection inspired by changes in herself, a metamorphosis which she is also documenting in the form of a book. Her new work continues to feature her trademark textural grounds, but the quiet muted tones have been replaced by brighter, more ephemeral colours. Julie now lives in Kent.

Since attending Dartington College of Arts in Devon in 1977-8 as a mature student, I have worked consistently as a painter and a muralist in a variety of media, both in the UK and on the Continent.

In the 90s, as a member of the Salon des Peintres on the Ile de Re in France, I participated in summer exhibitions with much success, and sold through local galleries on the Island. I exhibited for some years with SAG Galleries in London and held solo exhibitions in many Kent venues, including Tonbridge, Sevenoaks, Dartford and Sidcup. Since moving to Romney Marsh in 1999 I have taken part in local exhibitions, held open studios and participated in the South East Open Studios event, held in June each year.

Sofia was born in 1977, Spain. As a child, growing up she discovered her love and passion for art. She spent 15 years in Madrid with her family before migrating to London. Sofia attended London Metropolitan University obtaining a Bsc (Hons) in Applied Psychology. Sofia’s background as a psychology graduate adds an edge to her paintings allowing her to pursue her interest for cognitive behaviour and perception two topics that fascinate her. Sofia has a flair and natural ability to transfer her feelings thoughts and emotions to a simple visual format. Her style is unique and innovative. She plays with the art of not knowing the outcome daring to provoke a result from the unexpected providing a meaningful experience for the viewer. Her complex methodology to the eye grows out of her life’s memoirs; her abstract paintings emerge from the unconscious. It is soothing therapy for Sofia and her viewers. “Best attribute for abstract paintings is the ability to create a deep conversation between strangers” When considering which artist inspire her, Sofia says she fears mind pollution, she prefers to keep her mind clear of techniques and attitudes, her technique and only technique is her individualistic perception of life. “Bad abstraction is contrived and forced and can very easily become clichéd.” Sofia has no competitor in her field. She is the one and only Sofia. No one can express feelings like she does. In addition, Sofia has written “The Expression of ImogensJazz” which includes her poetry and thoughts

Mark Sunderland was born in York, England in 1963. His interest in photography started around the age of eleven. He is largely self-taught, having trained and worked in the IT industry for some twenty years, but has continued to develop his photography throughout his life. He attended a general photography short course in 1992 which started a more serious exploration of the medium, and has specialised in colour landscape and travel photography since the mid 1990s. He has travelled through the western USA on several workshops with US based British landscape photographer Nigel Turner and numerous other trips. He has recently travelled through Chilean Patagonia with American landscape photographer Linde Waidhofer. Mark has been published in a number of photography magazines, and was highly commended in the Composition and Form category of the 2000 BG Wildlife Photographer of The Year Competition. He is now a freelance photographer producing fine art landscape prints and stock travel images. He is available for commissioned work (digital capture) and currently lives in Knaresborough, Yorkshire, England.
Born in Yorkshire in 1974. I studied art at school and went on to The University of Aberdeen where I achieved a Master of Arts degree in 1999 After spending six months in India teaching and travelling I was heavily influenced by my experiences, this in turn, allowed me to develop and transform my painting styles to give me a unique understanding of my creativity. I moved back to Yorkshire and had my first solo exhibition in Shipley, West Yorkshire. Energized from people viewing my work I was delighted when I found out that I had sold four pieces in just one week. Since this exhibition I have since exhibited several time in London. So far, I have sold around 60 original pieces, and about 20 commissions from this venture. The artwork is mostly modern contemporary acrylic on large canvas, but ranges from abstract nudes to local Urban/Rural landscapes. In the mean time I look to display my work elsewhere and was delighted to discover that my work had been chosen, out of hundreds of entries, to be displayed at the opening of the new Keighley Art College. From this, I received a stunning review from the press, stating that my work was ‘Tate Worthy’; this encouraged me to further my career and experiment with my talent and the market. In York I exhibited in the open-air exhibition, which proved to be very successful. Here, I received a very positive response to my art and sold a lot of my new style acrylic-abstracts.

I was born in the north east of England and studied at Sunderland and Maidstone colleges of Art. Prior to this I wanted to become an actor and joined the National youth Theatre where I had a nightly embarrassing experience dancing with a chair in 'Zigger Zagger' which convinced me that acting wasn't the career for me. My work ranges from small to large paintings and drawings. I have designed sets, costumes and publicity for dance companies, done residencies and commissions in schools hospitals, theatres and arts centres. My paintings have been exhibited in London, Paris and Amsterdam and 'The Silent Scene' a touring exhibition which featured the work artists whose work is narrative. My public commissions include '100 fish-in-a-Tree' for Southampton City Arts, The 'Map' mural for the Royal county Hospital Brighton and 'Three Rivers One Sea' for the newly-built Oakgrove College - Worthing.

I initially trained as a Technical Illustrator specialising in cutaway drawings and airbrush renderings. With the advent of CAD and the desktop publishing era I re-trained as a Graphic Designer and worked as a designer/illustrator and lecturer in drawing and graphic communication. My work became increasingly concerned with layout and typography and I subsequently founded a graphic design company. Life drawing and painting has underpinned all the creative work I've been involved in. It is the one constant in my career to date. I continue painting and drawing in order to counterbalance the direction of my other creative work which is virtually all computer based.
Sofia was born in 1977, Spain. As a child, growing up she discovered her love and passion for art. She spent 15 years in Madrid with her family before migrating to London. Sofia attended London Metropolitan University obtaining a Bsc (Hons) in Applied Psychology. Sofia’s background as a psychology graduate adds an edge to her paintings allowing her to pursue her interest for cognitive behaviour and perception two topics that fascinate her. Sofia has a flair and natural ability to transfer her feelings thoughts and emotions to a simple visual format. Her style is unique and innovative. She plays with the art of not knowing the outcome daring to provoke a result from the unexpected providing a meaningful experience for the viewer. Her complex methodology to the eye grows out of her life’s memoirs; her abstract paintings emerge from the unconscious. It is soothing therapy for Sofia and her viewers. “Best attribute for abstract paintings is the ability to create a deep conversation between strangers” When considering which artist inspire her, Sofia says she fears mind pollution, she prefers to keep her mind clear of techniques and attitudes, her technique and only technique is her individualistic perception of life. “Bad abstraction is contrived and forced and can very easily become clichéd.” Sofia has no competitor in her field. She is the one and only Sofia. No one can express feelings like she does. In addition, Sofia has written “The Expression of ImogensJazz” which includes her poetry and thoughts
Born in London, 1942, originally studying art in Brighton, Peter Wright has lived, worked and studied in Cornwall for the past 24 years, in a deeply rural setting just outside the village of Stithians near Truro. The studio and ceramic workshops have been converted from old stone farm buildings.

Since attending Dartington College of Arts in Devon in 1977-8 as a mature student, I have worked consistently as a painter and a muralist in a variety of media, both in the UK and on the Continent. I held solo exhibitions in Torquay in the 80s and between 1989 and 1994 whilst travelling in Europe, exhibited work in several galleries in France and on the Algarve. In the 90s, as a member of the Salon des Peintres on the Ile de Re in France, I participated in summer exhibitions with much success, and sold through local galleries on the Island. I exhibited for some years with SAG Galleries in London and held solo exhibitions in many Kent venues, including Tonbridge, Sevenoaks, Dartford and Sidcup. Since moving to Romney Marsh in 1999 I have taken part in local exhibitions, held open studios and participated in the South East Open Studios event, held in June each year. I display my paintings in the Old High Street in Folkestone during the summer as part of a scheme for the regeneration of this historic area, and am a a member of the Romney Marsh Art Society and Forge Art Society.

Mark Sunderland was born in York, England in 1963. His interest in photography started around the age of eleven. He is largely self-taught, having trained and worked in the IT industry for some twenty years, but has continued to develop his photography throughout his life. He attended a general photography short course in 1992 which started a more serious exploration of the medium, and has specialised in colour landscape and travel photography since the mid 1990s. He has travelled through the western USA on several workshops with US based British landscape photographer Nigel Turner and numerous other trips. He has recently travelled through Chilean Patagonia with American landscape photographer Linde Waidhofer. Mark has been published in a number of photography magazines, and was highly commended in the Composition and Form category of the 2000 BG Wildlife Photographer of The Year Competition. He is now a freelance photographer producing fine art landscape prints and stock travel images. He is available for commissioned work (digital capture) and currently lives in Knaresborough, Yorkshire, England.
Bruno is a self-taught artist who has dedicated himself exclusively to painting after moving from France to England in 2000. His work has since been exhibited in London, Birmingham, Nottingham as well as Germany, Spain and America.
Trained in textile design and progressed onto achieving a masters degree in fine art at Bretton Hall University, West Yorkshire. A natural transition occurred into capturing movement, fluidity and form. To maneuver, play and distort the most simplest of beautiful forms and giving them a poignancy in every day life is the artists upmost intention. Light, depth and space is created in her ability in applying interesting painterly techniques indicative of the artists style. Having exhibited her work on an international scale and with solo exhibitions forthcoming, she is fast developing into one of the most established, creative and reputable artists of our time.

The ever-changing effects of light on the Cornish coast fascinate me. I specialise in painting with oils and try to capture this quality of light through my observational and detailed style. As well as commissions I have been exhibiting my work locally in group exhibitions and one-man shows at numerous Cornish and national galleries over the last seven+ years. These include: the National Trust's 'Trelissick Gallery', Truro's 'Lander Gallery' and the Island gallery in St Ives. More recently I have been exhibiting at art fairs and further a field in Cirencester, Cheltenham, Brighton, London and California.
I started work in a busy London commercial art studio before studying for a Study of Art BA Honours Degree in Cambridge. I have a keen interest in monochrome/colour darkroom practice and photography/digital media, which provide a diverse range of tools to explore, visualize and develop experiences. My work has been represented in various publications, with solo and group exhibitions showing in the UK, France, Holland, Spain, Germany, Italy and the USA. I also accept commissions in a diverse range of media including collage, paint, print and mosaic.
I am an established British sculptor working both in the field of Public Art and also on gallery and site specific projects. Many of my recent works have been large scale public commissions. In 2001 I completed a steel and stone gateway for the main access road from the M4 motorway into the city of Cardiff and a large work in Germany for the Oggelshausen Sculpture Fields. In 2002 I sited large public works in Chesterfield, the London Borough of Sutton and Trinity Hall, Cambridge University. During 2003 I completed a large scale work in granite and cast iron for the offices of the Government ministry DEFRA in Cambridge and a work in marble with moving light projection for Nottingham University. My most recent work, sited in June of 2005, was an 8m high granite work for Novartis Pharmaceuticals in Grimsby. All of these commissions have been completed successfully, within scheduled deadlines and financial budgets.

Jay Rechsteiner who also works under the name Tobleroni was born in Switzerland in 1971 where he spent his childhood. In his early 20s Jay immigrated to Japan with his wife where he devoted his time to the study of art. About six years later he got divorced and set out on a journey through Asia back to Switzerland where he settled down for two years working as an artist while taking art courses at the College of Art and Design in Basel. Jay came to London in 2004. He exhibited internationally in Japan, France, Italy, Switzerland, Portugal and in the UK. Jay Rechsteiner is first and foremost a painter who is constantly questioning art, the art world, political & social events. There is a deep philosophical aspect in his work that manifests itself in a wide range of different paintings of various styles from crude, urban collage-style images to more sophisticated techniques based on computer-based graphic design. Under the name Tobleroni Jay works together with Victor 'Torpedo' Silveira AKA Sardine using the label The Monkey in the Box Company. This collaborative art project produces a vast amount of paintings of a very refreshing style challenging the contemporary sense of art and beauty. Jay Rechsteiner works also in other media such as video, video performance, installation and conceptual projects mainly exploring and defining what art actually is. He now lives and works in London, UK.
Born in France, raised in the USA and in France, now resident in the UK for 17 years, Laury Dizengremel is an award-winning sculptor whose work features in public parks, museums, corporate and private collections around the world. She first studied sculpture with Martine Vaugel (a direct line of instruction traced back to Rodin). Then by herself, continued learning on an ad hoc basis various techniques and processes. After working as a freelance sculptor for over 25 years, she decided to get a degree (both to re-evaluate her practice and to teach) and was accepted onto a Masters course in Canterbury. She is now completing this Master of Fine Arts International Practice degree and is slated to graduate in September 2006.
Studied Painting and Dance at Brighton, where I exhibited and performed. I took a break to fall in love and have children and am now immersed in the creative process once more.

Julie Barrow graduated from Chelsea School of Art in London in 1995. During her time at Chelsea she focused on and developed a very strong drawing portfolio, utilising many still-life applications in her work. This portfolio saw her move into freelance textile design after graduating, specialising in English florals, drawn from life. Working from a small studio in South Kensington for the next three years, she quickly became a designer of choice for many of her regular American buyers. In 1999, she began to develop her first collection of paintings on canvas as an original artist. The collection, mainly acrylic with charcoal & chalk, included a series of 6 studies, all drawn from life. The collection sold out during her first exhibition of the work, at a small local gallery in Chislehurst, Kent, and this set in motion a change in the focus of Julie’s career from designer to original artist. A three month move to Lisbon in 2002, which lasted for four years (!) saw her work take on a new sensitivity and a greater sense of maturity, as she began to combine a huge variety of media in her work, from broken CD’s, to sand, glue and homemade papers. The use of subtle muted tones on these heavily textured grounds gave her paintings an inner life of their own. She completed several collections there, from images inspired by the beautiful cobbled streets with colourful washing lines, to work dedicated to the glamour and nostalgia of the traditional Portuguese bullfight. In 2006 Julie returned to the UK and has since been working on a new collection inspired by changes in herself, a metamorphosis which she is also documenting in the form of a book. Her new work continues to feature her trademark textural grounds, but the quiet muted tones have been replaced by brighter, more ephemeral colours. Julie now lives in Kent.

Over the last four years Julia’s work has concentrated on exploring and developing inspirational ideas drawn from nature and plant life. Since graduating in 2003 with a degree in Three Dimensional Design from Manchester Metropolitan University her work has blossomed into new and experimental pieces. This passion to find and express her ideas through art began at a young age and has continued and grown into her current artistic practice today. Now living and working from her small Oxford based studio, Julia’s unique and individual work is becoming increasingly popular in the UK and abroad.

Born in Lancaster in 1980 I always showed a creative streak but didn't indulge it until recently. Now living in Preston I have recently taken up painting and totally fallen in love with it. whilst I have had no formal art education I consider the hours spent painting to be education enough for me.
Studied Painting and Dance at Brighton, where I exhibited and performed. I took a break to fall in love and have children and am now immersed in the creative process once more.

Since graduating in 2003 with a degree in Three Dimensional Design from Manchester Metropolitan University her work has blossomed into new and experimental pieces.

Painting has been Will�s main occupation for the past 25 years after a lifetimes work in graphic arts. Running his own London based design consultancy gave Will the confidence to trust his own judgement. Each new Painting, as far as he was concerned, was another design commission, without a client. He was sure that now the job could be done first and a client could be found. The Royal Academy of Arts, summer exhibition accepted his painting �Goodlands� early in his career. Painting conventionally at first, he exhibited at the Newlyn Orion Galleries and the Penwith Society of Arts, St.Ives. As well as work in the Mid Cornwall Gallery, he was runner up in the Sterts Figurative Art Competition in successive years.

Born in rural Norfolk, England in 1973, my childhood was informed by the pervasive influence of the Norfolk broads, of East coast fishing communities and of the endless wheat fields of the East Anglian countryside. After leaving Art college in 1992 I spent several years working as a freelance Artist and Illustrator and exhibiting my own ‘developing’ style of painting. These, early works aimed to juxtapose visual perception and concepts of ‘belonging’ through a broad range of thematic studies. In 1996 I moved to Devon where I completed my degree in Fine Art and a Cert.Ed. in Waldorf/Steiner education, I then began to teach Art and creative practice at community college and a local private school. In May of 2002 I moved, with my wife and two children, from a spacious suburban house to a small neglected bungalow on Dartmoor, deep in the heart of rural Devon. The combination of this new environment and my employment at the prestigious Devon Guild of Craftsmen inspired a profound transformation in my work. This new Artwork was imbued with the rich, value loaded essence of the reclaimed wood from which it was composed and allowed me to further my creative and conceptual ideas to a new level. I now exhibit and sell work across the south west, benefit from regional magazine coverage and take regular commissions for both 2d and 3d compositions.

I have always expressed myself through art: as a child my father taught me to draw insisting i only drew the gradients of grey i saw in the shadows, this technique leads to a gradual revelation of a figure or object on the paper described by the light that falls upon it. I developed an interest in the pre-Raphaelite artists and obsessively copied paintings of Elizabeth Siddal with charcoal, soft graphite pencils and acrylic paints, but was intrigued and slightly intimidated by the haunting images of surrealist artists such as Dorothea Tanning. Although my formal education BA and MA are in English Literature I have been unable to exorcise the images in my mind (sometimes provoked by the literature i read) any other way than through the messy but visceral medium of paint. My love of travel and my fascination with exploring different art styles particularly religious themes has lead me to paint, draw and photograph around the world. The heavy blue green of rice paddies in Cambodia, the slick brightness of Delhi drenched in monsoon, the reds and ochre in the middle eastern mountains... all these co lours and contrasts combine with study of formal art of various cultures to inform my perpetually developing and shifting style. In my artistic career i have displayed in small galleries and designed pieces for a trendy wine bar as well as painting murals for commercial premises. I have also sold my work at art markets and online. Currently living in Greenwich i am finding inspiration in London life and the people living it, and always see, and delight in, the patterns of light and shadow that describe my subjects and the world around me.

Born in Yorkshire in 1974. I studied art at school and went on to The University of Aberdeen where I achieved a Master of Arts degree in 1999 After spending six months in India teaching and travelling I was heavily influenced by my experiences, this in turn, allowed me to develop and transform my painting styles to give me a unique understanding of my creativity. I moved back to Yorkshire and had my first solo exhibition in Shipley, West Yorkshire. Energized from people viewing my work I was delighted when I found out that I had sold four pieces in just one week. Since this exhibition I have since exhibited several time in London. So far, I have sold around 60 original pieces, and about 20 commissions from this venture. The artwork is mostly modern contemporary acrylic on large canvas, but ranges from abstract nudes to local Urban/Rural landscapes. In the mean time I look to display my work elsewhere and was delighted to discover that my work had been chosen, out of hundreds of entries, to be displayed at the opening of the new Keighley Art College. From this, I received a stunning review from the press, stating that my work was ‘Tate Worthy’; this encouraged me to further my career and experiment with my talent and the market. In York I exhibited in the open-air exhibition, which proved to be very successful. Here, I received a very positive response to my art and sold a lot of my new style acrylic-abstracts. Exhibitions: Shipley: 2004 Saltaire: 2004-5 York: 2005 Keighley Art Centre: 2005 London, Candid Arts: 2006 London, Canary Wharf: 2006 London, financial district: 2007 Barnsley Art Gallery: 2008-9 Barnsley council HQ: 2007

Sofia was born in 1977, Spain. As a child, growing up she discovered her love and passion for art. She spent 15 years in Madrid with her family before migrating to London. Sofia attended London Metropolitan University obtaining a Bsc (Hons) in Applied Psychology. Sofia’s background as a psychology graduate adds an edge to her paintings allowing her to pursue her interest for cognitive behaviour and perception two topics that fascinate her. Sofia has a flair and natural ability to transfer her feelings thoughts and emotions to a simple visual format. Her style is unique and innovative. She plays with the art of not knowing the outcome daring to provoke a result from the unexpected providing a meaningful experience for the viewer. Her complex methodology to the eye grows out of her life’s memoirs; her abstract paintings emerge from the unconscious. It is soothing therapy for Sofia and her viewers. “Best attribute for abstract paintings is the ability to create a deep conversation between strangers” When considering which artist inspire her, Sofia says she fears mind pollution, she prefers to keep her mind clear of techniques and attitudes, her technique and only technique is her individualistic perception of life. “Bad abstraction is contrived and forced and can very easily become clichéd.” Sofia has no competitor in her field. She is the one and only Sofia. No one can express feelings like she does. In addition, Sofia has written “The Expression of ImogensJazz” which includes her poetry and thoughts

Oil impasted thickly onto large canvases, layer over layer, spread like butter, then gouged to show the textures and folds of paint already lying beneath, have dominated Dariusz Romanowski�s painting style over the last couple of years. Two subject areas have been energised by this very physical application of paint; garden scenes and old women. In the garden scenes, the technique gives a tangible impression of organic growth, of nature recycling itself, new buds and shoots evolving out of the rotting vegetation of last years earthly fruits. The paint, so thick in places that it seems to exist independently of the canvas, becomes an integral part of this annual cycle. In contrast, in the unusual paintings of the old women, the oozing, languid application of oil mirrors their own physical deterioration, their ageing, slowing bodies, spreading out and losing their deftness of youth. The oil paint lazily moves over the surface of the paintings; in places its application is so thick it seems to be rotting and falling away. Many viewers have found the handling of this subject matter distressing, but these are sensitive paintings, and there is real character in the artist�s impressions. The images do not intend to degrade their subjects. The portraits depict weary, yet often bright eyed individuals, and their intimacy with one another gives them a curious force, perhaps he has captured the wisdom gained through their experiences of life? For these works, the use of bright colour, which flickers across the garden scenes, is less apparent, and the impressions rely on more golden�s and browns, matured colours which denote fading grandeur and bring to mind the self portraits of Rembrandt. Dariusz ascertains that he has painted all of the figures from his imagination, directly onto the canvas. The vision of the completed composition will come into his mind and remain there, often unchanged, until it has been transferred directly onto canvas by the artists brush. Such vision is an unusual attribute, but one which the artist maintains has been with him since a very young age. Copious sketch books reveal his childhood drawings; technically accomplished copies of Michaelangelo and Raphael cartoons, impressionist landscapes and German expressionist figures, amongst his own personal studies. Without an art school training , Romanowski, now in his late 20�s has taught himself the methods of the masters through familiarity; Bacon, Moore, Picasso, Degas�� they have all been his teachers, through their images and writings on art. His reverence for their contributions to the development of art history is not an uncritical one, however, and the artist is aware of why he thinks paintings don�t succeed as why they do. With his own progress, Romanowski is possibly at his most critical. He is beginning to move on from the subjects which have dominated the last couple of years, feeling that he has gleaned all the experiences he can from them. With this new departure comes a desire to discover fresh approaches and further subjects for his exploration, an endless process of examination of which he is certain he will never tire.

I was born in 1982 in Lucknow, UP a state of India. I grew up with my parents and two brothers, though most of my life I lived out in hostels. In my early ages I grew up in beautiful surroundings of Mussoorie. The images transferred on to the canvas here are replete with nature that substitutes the external one translating feeling and emotions. I strongly believe art should energize and revitalize you along with giving you peace and pleasure. PART OF MY ACHIEVEMENTS § Solo Exhibition at Hotel Taj Palace, Delhi (July 2010) § “EYES AGAINST SPECTRUM” sold at Solo Exhibition Taj Palace § “BREATH WATCHING” sold at Solo Exhibition Hotel Taj Palace § “LADY PRINCESS” procured by Hotel Taj Palace § “STORM APPROACHING” purchased by a USA customer. § “THAT BURNING EVENING” sold in UK. § “THE ORANGE WALL” purchased by Absolutes BPO § “THE CONCRETE” part of 9th Indian Art Exhibition in Indonesia I always carried very specific eye for detail where ever I lived or worked. My creations share a love of realism and rustic pattern, mix of colors like blue, orange and grey that continues to be part of me. The creations are about the inner journey, one that portrays about a personal response to the landscape. Exploration, observation and careful thoughts are the key to success. Ideally there should be some interaction between size of the objects and horizon. Good composition is to judge what to leave out as it is and where to lay the detailing. For example, a greater depth of a field can be achieved by applying subdued colors and tones in the distance. I have a long relation with nature, probably since my childhood. I ask you, “where is the realism of yesterday?” Do you know the life they lived, the man made structures slowly creeping into the earth, smoke from the chimney of the mill floating up at an angle? John Cage very well said, “We need not destroy the past. It has gone.”

Julie Barrow graduated from Chelsea School of Art in London in 1995. During her time at Chelsea she focused on and developed a very strong drawing portfolio, utilising many still-life applications in her work. This portfolio saw her move into freelance textile design after graduating, specialising in English florals, drawn from life. Working from a small studio in South Kensington for the next three years, she quickly became a designer of choice for many of her regular American buyers. In 1999, she began to develop her first collection of paintings on canvas as an original artist. The collection, mainly acrylic with charcoal & chalk, included a series of 6 studies, all drawn from life. The collection sold out during her first exhibition of the work, at a small local gallery in Chislehurst, Kent, and this set in motion a change in the focus of Julie’s career from designer to original artist. A three month move to Lisbon in 2002, which lasted for four years (!) saw her work take on a new sensitivity and a greater sense of maturity, as she began to combine a huge variety of media in her work, from broken CD’s, to sand, glue and homemade papers. The use of subtle muted tones on these heavily textured grounds gave her paintings an inner life of their own. She completed several collections there, from images inspired by the beautiful cobbled streets with colourful washing lines, to work dedicated to the glamour and nostalgia of the traditional Portuguese bullfight. In 2006 Julie returned to the UK and has since been working on a new collection inspired by changes in herself, a metamorphosis which she is also documenting in the form of a book. Her new work continues to feature her trademark textural grounds, but the quiet muted tones have been replaced by brighter, more ephemeral colours. Julie now lives in Kent.

Paul Marshall-Keyes has been a self-studious patron of the arts and photography since a young age, drawn especially to the form and tonality of 'colourless' photography. Paul combines his love of photography as an artistic medium with his spiritual and emotional attachments to nature and the landscape. Paul strives to ensure that his work gives more than it takes, thus helping to ensure that the landscape remains intact for many generations to come. This encompasses various initiatives including the use of papers, mounts, frames, and the such-like from sustained sources, minimising energy usage, and using ‘green’ transport where possible to reach intended destinations. Paul possesses qualifications in Art and a Diploma in Photography, and has been practicing his craft for a number of years. Paul's art has been sold to a number of private buyers, and he is now beginning to actively pursue exhibition opportunities both in the UK and abroad.
Pete Kelly was born in Cumbria, NW England in October, 1966. Son of military man and grew up in Germany with British Forces Schools. Introduced to the fundamentals of photography in 1984, by completing a six month course in Photography at the ‘Royal Air Force Photographic Unit’ Wildenrath. He then moved to U.K to study Graphic Design and graduated from Stockport College in 1986 completing a BND in Graphic Design/Advertising'. Pete then moved to the U.S.A in 1987, and stayed until 2002, living in West Palm Beach Florida, Kansas City Missouri, Brooklyn New York & Upstate, New York as well as extensive roadtrips to the Southwest. The decision to explore the United States has benefited Pete greatly as a visual artist. Pete is an emerging Fine Art Photographer, utilising the computer to layer his imagery and sometimes combining images. He has been involved in the 'Digital Revolution' since the early days, adapting photographic and darkroom fundamentals using Photoshop in the computer. He taught 'Digital Imaging' at ‘The New School’ in Manhattan, whilst living in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, in 2001 and his digital ability was commended in 1999 when he won an award at the 'New York Festivals'. Pete has been successful selling his personal work since 1990 and gained his first ‘serious’ representation at ‘The Robin Rice Gallery’ whilst living in New York from 1998 – 2002.

Born in rural Norfolk, England in 1973, my childhood was informed by the pervasive influence of the Norfolk broads, of East coast fishing communities and of the endless wheat fields of the East Anglian countryside. After leaving Art college in 1992 I spent several years working as a freelance Artist and Illustrator and exhibiting my own ‘developing’ style of painting. These, early works aimed to juxtapose visual perception and concepts of ‘belonging’ through a broad range of thematic studies. In 1996 I moved to Devon where I completed my degree in Fine Art and a Cert.Ed. in Waldorf/Steiner education, I then began to teach Art and creative practice at community college and a local private school. In May of 2002 I moved, with my wife and two children, from a spacious suburban house to a small neglected bungalow on Dartmoor, deep in the heart of rural Devon. The combination of this new environment and my employment at the prestigious Devon Guild of Craftsmen inspired a profound transformation in my work. This new Artwork was imbued with the rich, value loaded essence of the reclaimed wood from which it was composed and allowed me to further my creative and conceptual ideas to a new level. I now exhibit and sell work across the south west, benefit from regional magazine coverage and take regular commissions for both 2d and 3d compositions.
Birth Place: I was born on March 21, 1968 in a small village called Jhilna, Patuakhali, Bangladesh. Education: I studied fine arts, painting and drawing at the Institute of Fine Arts, University of Dhaka, Bangladesh 1984/89, Master Drawing of the human figure at the Guildhall University, London 1989/90, Art and Art History at the Goldsmith’s College, University of London 1991/92 and Philosophy of Arts at the Open University, 1997 UK. Life in UK: Since 1991 I have lived and worked in England, taking my inspiration from psychology, philosophy, classical music and observation and involvement in urban (and some rural) life and environment. By producing work that is far from traditional, I actively attempt to destabilize static ideas of art; my own art is a synthesis of colour, compositional element and immediacy of presentation combined into unusual forms. In late January 1995 I moved from London to Brockhall Village at the heart of the Ribble Valley, Lancashire. After a year and half I moved to London in November 1996 to establish a gallery and carry on my art work. My experiment: I am now experimenting with oil colour, acrylic, water colour and glass. Light, powder colour, cloth, water, smoke, snow and sound have been used in my audio-visual installations. Some of my work has involved features of both painting and sculpture and this has given it a hybrid character.

Ian has been taking photographs of the urban and coastal environment for eight years. Recently he has begun to work in the emerging field of digital art. Ian has had his work exhibited online, and is in the process of arranging an exhibition of his urban landscapes in South Africa.
Trained in textile design and progressed onto achieving a masters degree in fine art at Bretton Hall University, West Yorkshire. A natural transition occurred into capturing movement, fluidity and form. To maneuver, play and distort the most simplest of beautiful forms and giving them a poignancy in every day life is the artists upmost intention. Light, depth and space is created in her ability in applying interesting painterly techniques indicative of the artists style. Having exhibited her work on an international scale and with solo exhibitions forthcoming, she is fast developing into one of the most established, creative and reputable artists of our time.

Paul Marshall-Keyes has been a self-studious patron of the arts and photography since a young age, drawn especially to the form and tonality of 'colourless' photography. Paul combines his love of photography as an artistic medium with his spiritual and emotional attachments to nature and the landscape. Paul strives to ensure that his work gives more than it takes, thus helping to ensure that the landscape remains intact for many generations to come. This encompasses various initiatives including the use of papers, mounts, frames, and the such-like from sustained sources, minimising energy usage, and using ‘green’ transport where possible to reach intended destinations. Paul possesses qualifications in Art and a Diploma in Photography, and has been practicing his craft for a number of years. Paul's art has been sold to a number of private buyers, and he is now beginning to actively pursue exhibition opportunities both in the UK and abroad.

Julie Barrow graduated from Chelsea School of Art in London in 1995. During her time at Chelsea she focused on and developed a very strong drawing portfolio, utilising many still-life applications in her work. This portfolio saw her move into freelance textile design after graduating, specialising in English florals, drawn from life. Working from a small studio in South Kensington for the next three years, she quickly became a designer of choice for many of her regular American buyers. In 1999, she began to develop her first collection of paintings on canvas as an original artist. The collection, mainly acrylic with charcoal & chalk, included a series of 6 studies, all drawn from life. The collection sold out during her first exhibition of the work, at a small local gallery in Chislehurst, Kent, and this set in motion a change in the focus of Julie’s career from designer to original artist. A three month move to Lisbon in 2002, which lasted for four years (!) saw her work take on a new sensitivity and a greater sense of maturity, as she began to combine a huge variety of media in her work, from broken CD’s, to sand, glue and homemade papers. The use of subtle muted tones on these heavily textured grounds gave her paintings an inner life of their own. She completed several collections there, from images inspired by the beautiful cobbled streets with colourful washing lines, to work dedicated to the glamour and nostalgia of the traditional Portuguese bullfight. In 2006 Julie returned to the UK and has since been working on a new collection inspired by changes in herself, a metamorphosis which she is also documenting in the form of a book. Her new work continues to feature her trademark textural grounds, but the quiet muted tones have been replaced by brighter, more ephemeral colours. Julie now lives in Kent.

The recognition she received after the Alec Tiranti Prize led her to be interviewed by the Times for the Great British Hopes column. 2001 saw the completion of a human-sized commission of ‘The Saint Leonard’s Forest Dragon’ in bronze, for Horsham Park, West Sussex. The dragon was commissioned by Horsham in Bloom and can be found at the centre of the maze near the swimming pool, often under several climbing children! Due to the success of this sculpture she has just been commissioned to make a large bronze dinosaur sculpture for Southwater in West Sussex.

Paul Marshall-Keyes has been a self-studious patron of the arts and photography since a young age, drawn especially to the form and tonality of 'colourless' photography. Paul combines his love of photography as an artistic medium with his spiritual and emotional attachments to nature and the landscape. Paul strives to ensure that his work gives more than it takes, thus helping to ensure that the landscape remains intact for many generations to come. This encompasses various initiatives including the use of papers, mounts, frames, and the such-like from sustained sources, minimising energy usage, and using ‘green’ transport where possible to reach intended destinations. Paul possesses qualifications in Art and a Diploma in Photography, and has been practicing his craft for a number of years. Paul's art has been sold to a number of private buyers, and he is now beginning to actively pursue exhibition opportunities both in the UK and abroad.

Anita Klein might say the same of her art. There is a grand simplicity to her works, but that is not the same as saying that they lack subtlety and ambiguity. On the contrary, they have the sort of unselfconscious directness that comes from living and breathing art for so long that it becomes second nature” John Russell Taylor, The Times, London. -“A strong, quirkily humorous depiction of quotidian events” - Nick Andrew, Galleries magazine -“The pictures, which celebrate the small moments of life which often go unappreciated, are warm, witty and quite delightful” - Julia Weiner, Jewish Chronicle -“It is quite brave not only to have a subject matter to your painting these days but also to be fascinated by such ordinary things. There are no desperate attempts to shock, expose or outrage; simply poignant moments showing the things which you would most miss if they were taken away from you” - Helen Smithson, Ham & High. -“Celebrating oases of joy in the quotidian, Anita Klein builds a personal archive, brimming with charisma and wit, that can be identified with by everyone” - Britart.com -“It is nice to have a real humorist recruited to the ranks of gifted painters. She is to be congratulated on livening up our dreary lives” - Guy Burn, Art Review. -“Star of the show for me is the spare, knowing, subversive and comic work of a young painter called Anita Klein” - Godfrey Smith, Sunday Times -“A blithe demonstration of intimacy” - William Zimmer, New York Times -"She is an artist of extraordinary verve and lyrical touch...These images are mirrors of a resonant delight in the moment, an exuberant and infectious love of life. Unfashionable as it is, Anita Klein’s work actually makes us happy." David Carpanini PRE -“ Anita Klein renders the ordinary existence into a celebration of life - mostly based on her family. Her style is remarkably and unmistakably individual - her brilliant palette (based on her Australian childhood?), great compositions and draughtsmanship (hardly to be attributed to the Slade - when she studied there, figurative art was out of favour) all reveal a highly committed and uncompromising artist.” Agi Katz, Boundary Gallery London -‘I know she’s got a quirky scale and that the figures are larger than life,’ says Jenny Groom, owner of a cookery school in Wiltshire, who bought one of Anita Klein’s oil paintings five years ago, ‘but it just accentuates their personality. The painting I have is called "Tuesday Evening", and it shows two women sitting across the table from one another, each holding a glass of wine. You just know they’ve got rid of their husbands and the kids are in bed and they’re having a good gossip, and it makes me laugh every time I look at it. She observes the minutiae of family life - the little things we do that are important to us. If my house was burning down, this is what I’d save.’(Quoted in the Telegraph Magazine 2004)

I was born in the north east of England and studied at Sunderland and Maidstone colleges of Art. Prior to this I wanted to become an actor and joined the National youth Theatre where I had a nightly embarrassing experience dancing with a chair in 'Zigger Zagger' which convinced me that acting wasn't the career for me. My work ranges from small to large paintings and drawings. I have designed sets, costumes and publicity for dance companies, done residencies and commissions in schools hospitals, theatres and arts centres. My paintings have been exhibited in London, Paris and Amsterdam and 'The Silent Scene' a touring exhibition which featured the work artists whose work is narrative. My public commissions include '100 fish-in-a-Tree' for Southampton City Arts, The 'Map' mural for the Royal county Hospital Brighton and 'Three Rivers One Sea' for the newly-built Oakgrove College - Worthing.

Pete Kelly was born in Cumbria, NW England in October, 1966. Son of military man and grew up in Germany with British Forces Schools. Introduced to the fundamentals of photography in 1984, by completing a six month course in Photography at the ‘Royal Air Force Photographic Unit’ Wildenrath. He then moved to U.K to study Graphic Design and graduated from Stockport College in 1986 completing a BND in Graphic Design/Advertising'. Pete then moved to the U.S.A in 1987, and stayed until 2002, living in West Palm Beach Florida, Kansas City Missouri, Brooklyn New York & Upstate, New York as well as extensive roadtrips to the Southwest. The decision to explore the United States has benefited Pete greatly as a visual artist. Pete is an emerging Fine Art Photographer, utilising the computer to layer his imagery and sometimes combining images. He has been involved in the 'Digital Revolution' since the early days, adapting photographic and darkroom fundamentals using Photoshop in the computer. He taught 'Digital Imaging' at ‘The New School’ in Manhattan, whilst living in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, in 2001 and his digital ability was commended in 1999 when he won an award at the 'New York Festivals'. Pete has been successful selling his personal work since 1990 and gained his first ‘serious’ representation at ‘The Robin Rice Gallery’ whilst living in New York from 1998 – 2002. He is now represented in 5 states in the U.S and galleries in the U.K. Pete is currently residing in Cheshire, England, and has contributed to many gallery shows: - 'The Dow & Jones Permanent Collection', New York. - 'Sloan-Kettering Permanent Collection' New York. - 'Williamsburg Art & Historical Society’, New York. - '707 Contemporary', Santa Fe, New Mexico. - 'Hudson Galleries', New Orleans, Louisiana. - 'Aspen International Art', Aspen, Colorado. - 'Carrie Haddad Gallery’, Hudson, New York. - 'Keeshan's Fine Art’, Kansas City, Missouri. - 'Robin Rice Gallery’, Manhattan, New York. - ‘Gallery 22’, Hale, Cheshire, U.K - ‘Calvin Charles Gallery’ Scottsdale, Arizona. - ‘Lunar Boy Gallery’ Astoria, Oregon.

Until 1997 I was a psychologist, writer, musician and dreamer who took photographs and painted in his spare time. Then I discovered the potential of digital technology to combine ALL of these things in a single medium. Officially known as ‘lens-based digital art’, I see it as ‘painting by other means’ using fragments of photographic images. Passion became obsession as it gradually took over my life. I finally left my day jobs in mental health and the treatment of heroin addiction in April 2004 to become a full-time artist. Since then I have exhibited in many high profile galleries across the north of England - including Dean Clough in Halifax, the Cupola gallery in Sheffield, and the Leeds Design Innovations Centre – and also in Dubai. I have also completed a wide range of public, private and corporate commissions.
Suffering and Art, I am told, go hand in hand. This should put me in good stead, as over the last decade I seem to have turned my suffering into a career. Revelling in self pity and the futility of it all, abusing body and mind until I could do little else, the inevitable eventually happened. In 1998 I cracked. I became a stuttering wreck and entered the not so strange world of the mentally ill. I seemed to fit in well! But what to do with my time? Art. I used to like art. I had, in fact, been a professional landscape artist in the 80's, but my business acumen, or the lack of it, had made for a very short career. And then it happened. I discovered acrylics and canvas and I became a born again artist! Escaping into a world that wasn't quite as harmful, a world that actually seemed to have some sort of point, a world where I wasn't totally useless, a world that just might keep me alive..... for a while. So what now?............
Graduauted from University of Wolverhampton in 2005.I Have been concentrating on producing work and setting up studio place since then. I have exhibited in the uk and abroad.

I have always lived in Hampshire and now live in a small village in the New Forest where I am surrounded by astounding natural beauty. Living in this environment constantly inspires me to paint. I studied Art at College and went on to paint and draw in my spare time whilst bringing up my 2 children and its only been in the last few years I have had the time to share my work with others.
I am an established British sculptor working both in the field of Public Art and also on gallery and site specific projects. Many of my recent works have been large scale public commissions. In 2001 I completed a steel and stone gateway for the main access road from the M4 motorway into the city of Cardiff and a large work in Germany for the Oggelshausen Sculpture Fields. In 2002 I sited large public works in Chesterfield, the London Borough of Sutton and Trinity Hall, Cambridge University. During 2003 I completed a large scale work in granite and cast iron for the offices of the Government ministry DEFRA in Cambridge and a work in marble with moving light projection for Nottingham University. My most recent work, sited in June of 2005, was an 8m high granite work for Novartis Pharmaceuticals in Grimsby. All of these commissions have been completed successfully, within scheduled deadlines and financial budgets.
Artistic education- self taught. My work is mainly on display in bars, cafes and restaurants.

Beatrice Hoffman is is of German-jewish origins and arrived in this country in 1984. She studied at Norwich school of Art from 1986-89 ./ She is a mainly figurative sculptor, working in an expressive, contemporary style. She is widely exhibiting in the Cotswold, Suffolk, Bristol, Birmingham, Oxford, London, and Amsterdam , and on art fairs, like the AAF in London and Bristol, or "Works on Paper " at the Royal College of Art/ London Recent single exhibitions: - Buckenham Gallery in Southwold, (sept 05) - Hesseltime gallery near Banbury (May 06)
Julie Barrow graduated from Chelsea School of Art in London in 1995. During her time at Chelsea she focused on and developed a very strong drawing portfolio, utilising many still-life applications in her work. This portfolio saw her move into freelance textile design after graduating, specialising in English florals, drawn from life. Working from a small studio in South Kensington for the next three years, she quickly became a designer of choice for many of her regular American buyers. In 1999, she began to develop her first collection of paintings on canvas as an original artist. The collection, mainly acrylic with charcoal & chalk, included a series of 6 studies, all drawn from life. The collection sold out during her first exhibition of the work, at a small local gallery in Chislehurst, Kent, and this set in motion a change in the focus of Julie’s career from designer to original artist. A three month move to Lisbon in 2002, which lasted for four years (!) saw her work take on a new sensitivity and a greater sense of maturity, as she began to combine a huge variety of media in her work, from broken CD’s, to sand, glue and homemade papers. The use of subtle muted tones on these heavily textured grounds gave her paintings an inner life of their own. She completed several collections there, from images inspired by the beautiful cobbled streets with colourful washing lines, to work dedicated to the glamour and nostalgia of the traditional Portuguese bullfight. In 2006 Julie returned to the UK and has since been working on a new collection inspired by changes in herself, a metamorphosis which she is also documenting in the form of a book. Her new work continues to feature her trademark textural grounds, but the quiet muted tones have been replaced by brighter, more ephemeral colours. Julie now lives in Kent.

Sofia was born in 1977, Spain. As a child, growing up she discovered her love and passion for art. She spent 15 years in Madrid with her family before migrating to London. Sofia attended London Metropolitan University obtaining a Bsc (Hons) in Applied Psychology. Sofia’s background as a psychology graduate adds an edge to her paintings allowing her to pursue her interest for cognitive behaviour and perception two topics that fascinate her. Sofia has a flair and natural ability to transfer her feelings thoughts and emotions to a simple visual format. Her style is unique and innovative. She plays with the art of not knowing the outcome daring to provoke a result from the unexpected providing a meaningful experience for the viewer. Her complex methodology to the eye grows out of her life’s memoirs; her abstract paintings emerge from the unconscious. It is soothing therapy for Sofia and her viewers. “Best attribute for abstract paintings is the ability to create a deep conversation between strangers” When considering which artist inspire her, Sofia says she fears mind pollution, she prefers to keep her mind clear of techniques and attitudes, her technique and only technique is her individualistic perception of life. “Bad abstraction is contrived and forced and can very easily become clichéd.” Sofia has no competitor in her field. She is the one and only Sofia. No one can express feelings like she does. In addition, Sofia has written “The Expression of ImogensJazz” which includes her poetry and thoughts

Since attending Dartington College of Arts in Devon in 1977-8 as a mature student, I have worked consistently as a painter and a muralist in a variety of media, both in the UK and on the Continent. I held solo exhibitions in Torquay in the 80s and between 1989 and 1994 whilst travelling in Europe, exhibited work in several galleries in France and on the Algarve. In the 90s, as a member of the Salon des Peintres on the Ile de Re in France, I participated in summer exhibitions with much success, and sold through local galleries on the Island. I exhibited for some years with SAG Galleries in London and held solo exhibitions in many Kent venues, including Tonbridge, Sevenoaks, Dartford and Sidcup. Since moving to Romney Marsh in 1999 I have taken part in local exhibitions, held open studios and participated in the South East Open Studios event, held in June each year. I display my paintings in the Old High Street in Folkestone during the summer as part of a scheme for the regeneration of this historic area, and am a a member of the Romney Marsh Art Society and Forge Art Society.

Jay Rechsteiner who also works under the name Tobleroni was born in Switzerland in 1971 where he spent his childhood. In his early 20s Jay immigrated to Japan with his wife where he devoted his time to the study of art. About six years later he got divorced and set out on a journey through Asia back to Switzerland where he settled down for two years working as an artist while taking art courses at the College of Art and Design in Basel. Jay came to London in 2004. He exhibited internationally in Japan, France, Italy, Switzerland, Portugal and in the UK. Jay Rechsteiner is first and foremost a painter who is constantly questioning art, the art world, political & social events. There is a deep philosophical aspect in his work that manifests itself in a wide range of different paintings of various styles from crude, urban collage-style images to more sophisticated techniques based on computer-based graphic design. Under the name Tobleroni Jay works together with Victor 'Torpedo' Silveira AKA Sardine using the label The Monkey in the Box Company. This collaborative art project produces a vast amount of paintings of a very refreshing style challenging the contemporary sense of art and beauty. Jay Rechsteiner works also in other media such as video, video performance, installation and conceptual projects mainly exploring and defining what art actually is. He now lives and works in London, UK.

Sofia was born in 1977, Spain. As a child, growing up she discovered her love and passion for art. She spent 15 years in Madrid with her family before migrating to London. Sofia attended London Metropolitan University obtaining a Bsc (Hons) in Applied Psychology. Sofia’s background as a psychology graduate adds an edge to her paintings allowing her to pursue her interest for cognitive behaviour and perception two topics that fascinate her. Sofia has a flair and natural ability to transfer her feelings thoughts and emotions to a simple visual format. Her style is unique and innovative. She plays with the art of not knowing the outcome daring to provoke a result from the unexpected providing a meaningful experience for the viewer. Her complex methodology to the eye grows out of her life’s memoirs; her abstract paintings emerge from the unconscious. It is soothing therapy for Sofia and her viewers. “Best attribute for abstract paintings is the ability to create a deep conversation between strangers” When considering which artist inspire her, Sofia says she fears mind pollution, she prefers to keep her mind clear of techniques and attitudes, her technique and only technique is her individualistic perception of life. “Bad abstraction is contrived and forced and can very easily become clichéd.” Sofia has no competitor in her field. She is the one and only Sofia. No one can express feelings like she does. In addition, Sofia has written “The Expression of ImogensJazz” which includes her poetry and thoughts

Julie Barrow graduated from Chelsea School of Art in London in 1995. During her time at Chelsea she focused on and developed a very strong drawing portfolio, utilising many still-life applications in her work. This portfolio saw her move into freelance textile design after graduating, specialising in English florals, drawn from life. Working from a small studio in South Kensington for the next three years, she quickly became a designer of choice for many of her regular American buyers. In 1999, she began to develop her first collection of paintings on canvas as an original artist. The collection, mainly acrylic with charcoal & chalk, included a series of 6 studies, all drawn from life. The collection sold out during her first exhibition of the work, at a small local gallery in Chislehurst, Kent, and this set in motion a change in the focus of Julie’s career from designer to original artist. A three month move to Lisbon in 2002, which lasted for four years (!) saw her work take on a new sensitivity and a greater sense of maturity, as she began to combine a huge variety of media in her work, from broken CD’s, to sand, glue and homemade papers. The use of subtle muted tones on these heavily textured grounds gave her paintings an inner life of their own. She completed several collections there, from images inspired by the beautiful cobbled streets with colourful washing lines, to work dedicated to the glamour and nostalgia of the traditional Portuguese bullfight. In 2006 Julie returned to the UK and has since been working on a new collection inspired by changes in herself, a metamorphosis which she is also documenting in the form of a book. Her new work continues to feature her trademark textural grounds, but the quiet muted tones have been replaced by brighter, more ephemeral colours. Julie now lives in Kent.

There is a deep philosophical aspect in his work that manifests itself in a wide range of different paintings of various styles from crude, urban collage-style images to more sophisticated techniques based on computer-based graphic design. Under the name Tobleroni Jay works together with Victor 'Torpedo' Silveira AKA Sardine using the label The Monkey in the Box Company. This collaborative art project produces a vast amount of paintings of a very refreshing style challenging the contemporary sense of art and beauty. Jay Rechsteiner works also in other media such as video, video performance, installation and conceptual projects mainly exploring and defining what art actually is. He now lives and works in London, UK.

Nationality: British Art style: Surrealist Artist, Painting and Sculpture. Born in Pretoria, South Africa in 1957. I have successfully combined my African perspective with an Avant-Garde "Western" approach to art. Studied Fine Art at the University of South Africa and has lectured at the same university where my book "The Found Art of Paint Making" was the handbook used on the course. Also have lectured at Oxford Brooks University and Edinburgh College of Art. I make all my own paints and inks that I use for painting using the traditional methods used by the masters and including the use of modern materials as I believe that quality of the final product (materials wise) is as important as the quality of the originality of the idea and method of execution of the work. With my sculpture work I use materials such as, stone, concrete, clay, bronze and wax. Attended courses on Screen-printing in Bristol and mold-making in Stafford. Authored the book, "The Found Art of Paint Making" published in South Africa and now have revised the book and published it in August 2005. Currently this book is used by many International Artists, Universities and Art Institutions as a handbook. I taught at my art school in South Africa and in Bicester. I have taught children (including those with learning difficulties) and adults, and have given workshops on paint making and all aspects of drawing and painting. My unconventional methods have shown great results for the students that I have taught. I have been living and working in the West Midlands in the UK for over five years. Besides having Art Exhibitions in most of the major cities in South Africa, I have had Art Exhibitions in Oxford, Birmingham, Bilston and Cardiff. My works are in private and corporate collections worldwide.

The recognition she received after the Alec Tiranti Prize led her to be interviewed by the Times for the Great British Hopes column. 2001 saw the completion of a human-sized commission of ‘The Saint Leonard’s Forest Dragon’ in bronze, for Horsham Park, West Sussex. The dragon was commissioned by Horsham in Bloom and can be found at the centre of the maze near the swimming pool, often under several climbing children!

Birth Place: I was born on March 21, 1968 in a small village called Jhilna, Patuakhali, Bangladesh. Education: I studied fine arts, painting and drawing at the Institute of Fine Arts, University of Dhaka, Bangladesh 1984/89, Master Drawing of the human figure at the Guildhall University, London 1989/90, Art and Art History at the Goldsmith’s College, University of London 1991/92 and Philosophy of Arts at the Open University, 1997 UK. Life in UK: Since 1991 I have lived and worked in England, taking my inspiration from psychology, philosophy, classical music and observation and involvement in urban (and some rural) life and environment. By producing work that is far from traditional, I actively attempt to destabilize static ideas of art; my own art is a synthesis of colour, compositional element and immediacy of presentation combined into unusual forms. In late January 1995 I moved from London to Brockhall Village at the heart of the Ribble Valley, Lancashire. After a year and half I moved to London in November 1996 to establish a gallery and carry on my art work. My experiment: I am now experimenting with oil colour, acrylic, water colour and glass. Light, powder colour, cloth, water, smoke, snow and sound have been used in my audio-visual installations. Some of my work has involved features of both painting and sculpture and this has given it a hybrid character.
After completing a BFA in Painting at the Ruskin School of Drawing and Fine Art, Oxford University, in 1994, I gained a PGCE in Secondary Art from Goldsmiths College. Subsequently I went on to teach for five years in London comprehensives. In 2001, I moved into gallery education, gaining an MA in Museums and Galleries in Education from London University in 2003. In the last two years I have refocused my attention upon my artwork, whilst continuing to work as an artist educator at Tate Modern and the National Gallery.

I graduated with my Visual Cultures Art Degree in 1997 with a BA (Hons) from Nottingham and now live in Tunbridge Wells. I worked in Graphic Design for several years, but now, with a young family, only produce artwork freelance. This has given me the scope to try out new ideas and choose my own direction. My recent 'Iconic Canvases' have probably been one of my most successful projects to date. It started off as another one of my "projects" for our home and after a number of compliments and a one-off commission for a client, the demand for this genre of my work escalated and I therefore decided to setup a studio to create these wonderful Iconic artworks.

Trained in textile design and progressed onto achieving a masters degree in fine art at Bretton Hall University, West Yorkshire. A natural transition occurred into capturing movement, fluidity and form. To maneuver, play and distort the most simplest of beautiful forms and giving them a poignancy in every day life is the artists upmost intention. Light, depth and space is created in her ability in applying interesting painterly techniques indicative of the artists style. Having exhibited her work on an international scale and with solo exhibitions forthcoming, she is fast developing into one of the most established, creative and reputable artists of our time.

I initially trained as a Technical Illustrator specialising in cutaway drawings and airbrush renderings. With the advent of CAD and the desktop publishing era I re-trained as a Graphic Designer and worked as a designer/illustrator and lecturer in drawing and graphic communication. My work became increasingly concerned with layout and typography and I subsequently founded a graphic design company. Life drawing and painting has underpinned all the creative work I've been involved in. It is the one constant in my career to date. I continue painting and drawing in order to counterbalance the direction of my other creative work which is virtually all computer based.
BA Hons in Photography from London College of Printing. Spent 20 years working as a Travel Photographer for a wide range of international publishers

I have always expressed myself through art: as a child my father taught me to draw insisting i only drew the gradients of grey i saw in the shadows, this technique leads to a gradual revelation of a figure or object on the paper described by the light that falls upon it. I developed an interest in the pre-Raphaelite artists and obsessively copied paintings of Elizabeth Siddal with charcoal, soft graphite pencils and acrylic paints, but was intrigued and slightly intimidated by the haunting images of surrealist artists such as Dorothea Tanning. Although my formal education BA and MA are in English Literature I have been unable to exorcise the images in my mind (sometimes provoked by the literature i read) any other way than through the messy but visceral medium of paint. My love of travel and my fascination with exploring different art styles particularly religious themes has lead me to paint, draw and photograph around the world. The heavy blue green of rice paddies in Cambodia, the slick brightness of Delhi drenched in monsoon, the reds and ochre in the middle eastern mountains... all these co lours and contrasts combine with study of formal art of various cultures to inform my perpetually developing and shifting style. In my artistic career i have displayed in small galleries and designed pieces for a trendy wine bar as well as painting murals for commercial premises. I have also sold my work at art markets and online. Currently living in Greenwich i am finding inspiration in London life and the people living it, and always see, and delight in, the patterns of light and shadow that describe my subjects and the world around me.

I am a professional artist living in London and experienced in working abstract art using oil and acrylic medium.
Julie Barrow graduated from Chelsea School of Art in London in 1995. During her time at Chelsea she focused on and developed a very strong drawing portfolio, utilising many still-life applications in her work. This portfolio saw her move into freelance textile design after graduating, specialising in English florals, drawn from life. Working from a small studio in South Kensington for the next three years, she quickly became a designer of choice for many of her regular American buyers. In 1999, she began to develop her first collection of paintings on canvas as an original artist. The collection, mainly acrylic with charcoal & chalk, included a series of 6 studies, all drawn from life. The collection sold out during her first exhibition of the work, at a small local gallery in Chislehurst, Kent, and this set in motion a change in the focus of Julie’s career from designer to original artist. A three month move to Lisbon in 2002, which lasted for four years (!) saw her work take on a new sensitivity and a greater sense of maturity, as she began to combine a huge variety of media in her work, from broken CD’s, to sand, glue and homemade papers. The use of subtle muted tones on these heavily textured grounds gave her paintings an inner life of their own. She completed several collections there, from images inspired by the beautiful cobbled streets with colourful washing lines, to work dedicated to the glamour and nostalgia of the traditional Portuguese bullfight. In 2006 Julie returned to the UK and has since been working on a new collection inspired by changes in herself, a metamorphosis which she is also documenting in the form of a book. Her new work continues to feature her trademark textural grounds, but the quiet muted tones have been replaced by brighter, more ephemeral colours. Julie now lives in Kent.

I graduated with my Visual Cultures Art Degree in 1997 with a BA (Hons) from Nottingham and now live in Tunbridge Wells. I worked in Graphic Design for several years, but now, with a young family, only produce artwork freelance. This has given me the scope to try out new ideas and choose my own direction. My recent 'Iconic Canvases' have probably been one of my most successful projects to date. It started off as another one of my "projects" for our home and after a number of compliments and a one-off commission for a client, the demand for this genre of my work escalated and I therefore decided to setup a studio to create these wonderful Iconic artworks.

I graduated with my Visual Cultures Art Degree in 1997 with a BA (Hons) from Nottingham and now live in Tunbridge Wells. I worked in Graphic Design for several years, but now, with a young family, only produce artwork freelance. This has given me the scope to try out new ideas and choose my own direction. My recent 'Iconic Canvases' have probably been one of my most successful projects to date. It started off as another one of my "projects" for our home and after a number of compliments and a one-off commission for a client, the demand for this genre of my work escalated and I therefore decided to setup a studio to create these wonderful Iconic artworks.
Paul Marshall-Keyes has been a self-studious patron of the arts and photography since a young age, drawn especially to the form and tonality of 'colourless' photography. Paul combines his love of photography as an artistic medium with his spiritual and emotional attachments to nature and the landscape. Paul strives to ensure that his work gives more than it takes, thus helping to ensure that the landscape remains intact for many generations to come. This encompasses various initiatives including the use of papers, mounts, frames, and the such-like from sustained sources, minimising energy usage, and using ‘green’ transport where possible to reach intended destinations. Paul possesses qualifications in Art and a Diploma in Photography, and has been practicing his craft for a number of years. Paul's art has been sold to a number of private buyers, and he is now beginning to actively pursue exhibition opportunities both in the UK and abroad.

Sofia was born in 1977, Spain. As a child, growing up she discovered her love and passion for art. She spent 15 years in Madrid with her family before migrating to London. Sofia attended London Metropolitan University obtaining a Bsc (Hons) in Applied Psychology. Sofia’s background as a psychology graduate adds an edge to her paintings allowing her to pursue her interest for cognitive behaviour and perception two topics that fascinate her. Sofia has a flair and natural ability to transfer her feelings thoughts and emotions to a simple visual format. Her style is unique and innovative. She plays with the art of not knowing the outcome daring to provoke a result from the unexpected providing a meaningful experience for the viewer. Her complex methodology to the eye grows out of her life’s memoirs; her abstract paintings emerge from the unconscious. It is soothing therapy for Sofia and her viewers. “Best attribute for abstract paintings is the ability to create a deep conversation between strangers” When considering which artist inspire her, Sofia says she fears mind pollution, she prefers to keep her mind clear of techniques and attitudes, her technique and only technique is her individualistic perception of life. “Bad abstraction is contrived and forced and can very easily become clichéd.” Sofia has no competitor in her field. She is the one and only Sofia. No one can express feelings like she does. In addition, Sofia has written “The Expression of ImogensJazz” which includes her poetry and thoughts

EVA HODGES was born in 1948 in Berlin and now lives in London and has taken photographs for as long as she can remember. In 2001 she decided it was time to go public. Since then she has exhibited in England, Germany and Hong Kong, as well as produced calendars and cards for business and private people.
Artistic education- self taught. My work is mainly on display in bars, cafes and restaurants.
I was born in the north east of England and studied at Sunderland and Maidstone colleges of Art. Prior to this I wanted to become an actor and joined the National youth Theatre where I had a nightly embarrassing experience dancing with a chair in 'Zigger Zagger' which convinced me that acting wasn't the career for me. My work ranges from small to large paintings and drawings. I have designed sets, costumes and publicity for dance companies, done residencies and commissions in schools hospitals, theatres and arts centres.

Julie Barrow graduated from Chelsea School of Art in London in 1995. During her time at Chelsea she focused on and developed a very strong drawing portfolio, utilising many still-life applications in her work. This portfolio saw her move into freelance textile design after graduating, specialising in English florals, drawn from life. Working from a small studio in South Kensington for the next three years, she quickly became a designer of choice for many of her regular American buyers. In 1999, she began to develop her first collection of paintings on canvas as an original artist. The collection, mainly acrylic with charcoal & chalk, included a series of 6 studies, all drawn from life. The collection sold out during her first exhibition of the work, at a small local gallery in Chislehurst, Kent, and this set in motion a change in the focus of Julie’s career from designer to original artist. A three month move to Lisbon in 2002, which lasted for four years (!) saw her work take on a new sensitivity and a greater sense of maturity, as she began to combine a huge variety of media in her work, from broken CD’s, to sand, glue and homemade papers. The use of subtle muted tones on these heavily textured grounds gave her paintings an inner life of their own. She completed several collections there, from images inspired by the beautiful cobbled streets with colourful washing lines, to work dedicated to the glamour and nostalgia of the traditional Portuguese bullfight. In 2006 Julie returned to the UK and has since been working on a new collection inspired by changes in herself, a metamorphosis which she is also documenting in the form of a book. Her new work continues to feature her trademark textural grounds, but the quiet muted tones have been replaced by brighter, more ephemeral colours. Julie now lives in Kent.

Jay Rechsteiner who also works under the name Tobleroni was born in Switzerland in 1971 where he spent his childhood. In his early 20s Jay immigrated to Japan with his wife where he devoted his time to the study of art. About six years later he got divorced and set out on a journey through Asia back to Switzerland where he settled down for two years working as an artist while taking art courses at the College of Art and Design in Basel. Jay came to London in 2004. He exhibited internationally in Japan, France, Italy, Switzerland, Portugal and in the UK. Jay Rechsteiner is first and foremost a painter who is constantly questioning art, the art world, political & social events. There is a deep philosophical aspect in his work that manifests itself in a wide range of different paintings of various styles from crude, urban collage-style images to more sophisticated techniques based on computer-based graphic design. Under the name Tobleroni Jay works together with Victor 'Torpedo' Silveira AKA Sardine using the label The Monkey in the Box Company. This collaborative art project produces a vast amount of paintings of a very refreshing style challenging the contemporary sense of art and beauty. Jay Rechsteiner works also in other media such as video, video performance, installation and conceptual projects mainly exploring and defining what art actually is. He now lives and works in London, UK.
Hannah Stewart studied sculpture at the City & Guilds of London Art School. After graduating in 1998, Hannah went on to win a succession of awards for her work, including second prize in the Sefton Open Exhibition 1998; the Major Award from the Manchester Academy of Fine Arts for her sculpture ‘Consider’ in 1999; and the Alec Tiranti Prize for Young Portrait Sculptors in 2000. The recognition she received after the Alec Tiranti Prize led her to be interviewed by the Times for the Great British Hopes column. 2001 saw the completion of a human-sized commission of ‘The Saint Leonard’s Forest Dragon’ in bronze, for Horsham Park, West Sussex. The dragon was commissioned by Horsham in Bloom and can be found at the centre of the maze near the swimming pool, often under several climbing children! Due to the success of this sculpture she has just been commissioned to make a large bronze dinosaur sculpture for Southwater in West Sussex.

Born in Yorkshire in 1974. I studied art at school and went on to The University of Aberdeen where I achieved a Master of Arts degree in 1999 After spending six months in India teaching and travelling I was heavily influenced by my experiences, this in turn, allowed me to develop and transform my painting styles to give me a unique understanding of my creativity. I moved back to Yorkshire and had my first solo exhibition in Shipley, West Yorkshire. Energized from people viewing my work I was delighted when I found out that I had sold four pieces in just one week. Since this exhibition I have since exhibited several time in London. So far, I have sold around 60 original pieces, and about 20 commissions from this venture. The artwork is mostly modern contemporary acrylic on large canvas, but ranges from abstract nudes to local Urban/Rural landscapes. In the mean time I look to display my work elsewhere and was delighted to discover that my work had been chosen, out of hundreds of entries, to be displayed at the opening of the new Keighley Art College. From this, I received a stunning review from the press, stating that my work was ‘Tate Worthy’; this encouraged me to further my career and experiment with my talent and the market. In York I exhibited in the open-air exhibition, which proved to be very successful. Here, I received a very positive response to my art and sold a lot of my new style acrylic-abstracts.

Born in Lancaster in 1980 I always showed a creative streak but didn't indulge it until recently. Now living in Preston I have recently taken up painting and totally fallen in love with it. whilst I have had no formal art education I consider the hours spent painting to be education enough for me.

I was born in 1982 in Lucknow, UP a state of India. I grew up with my parents and two brothers, though most of my life I lived out in hostels. In my early ages I grew up in beautiful surroundings of Mussoorie. The images transferred on to the canvas here are replete with nature that substitutes the external one translating feeling and emotions. I strongly believe art should energize and revitalize you along with giving you peace and pleasure. PART OF MY ACHIEVEMENTS § Solo Exhibition at Hotel Taj Palace, Delhi (July 2010) § “EYES AGAINST SPECTRUM” sold at Solo Exhibition Taj Palace § “BREATH WATCHING” sold at Solo Exhibition Hotel Taj Palace § “LADY PRINCESS” procured by Hotel Taj Palace § “STORM APPROACHING” purchased by a USA customer. § “THAT BURNING EVENING” sold in UK. § “THE ORANGE WALL” purchased by Absolutes BPO § “THE CONCRETE” part of 9th Indian Art Exhibition in Indonesia I always carried very specific eye for detail where ever I lived or worked. My creations share a love of realism and rustic pattern, mix of colors like blue, orange and grey that continues to be part of me. The creations are about the inner journey, one that portrays about a personal response to the landscape. Exploration, observation and careful thoughts are the key to success. Ideally there should be some interaction between size of the objects and horizon. Good composition is to judge what to leave out as it is and where to lay the detailing. For example, a greater depth of a field can be achieved by applying subdued colors and tones in the distance. I have a long relation with nature, probably since my childhood. I ask you, “where is the realism of yesterday?” Do you know the life they lived, the man made structures slowly creeping into the earth, smoke from the chimney of the mill floating up at an angle? John Cage very well said, “We need not destroy the past. It has gone.”
Born in rural Norfolk, England in 1973, my childhood was informed by the pervasive influence of the Norfolk broads, of East coast fishing communities and of the endless wheat fields of the East Anglian countryside. After leaving Art college in 1992 I spent several years working as a freelance Artist and Illustrator and exhibiting my own ‘developing’ style of painting. These, early works aimed to juxtapose visual perception and concepts of ‘belonging’ through a broad range of thematic studies. In 1996 I moved to Devon where I completed my degree in Fine Art and a Cert.Ed. in Waldorf/Steiner education, I then began to teach Art and creative practice at community college and a local private school. In May of 2002 I moved, with my wife and two children, from a spacious suburban house to a small neglected bungalow on Dartmoor, deep in the heart of rural Devon. The combination of this new environment and my employment at the prestigious Devon Guild of Craftsmen inspired a profound transformation in my work. This new Artwork was imbued with the rich, value loaded essence of the reclaimed wood from which it was composed and allowed me to further my creative and conceptual ideas to a new level. I now exhibit and sell work across the south west, benefit from regional magazine coverage and take regular commissions for both 2d and 3d compositions.

Birth Place: I was born on March 21, 1968 in a small village called Jhilna, Patuakhali, Bangladesh. Education: I studied fine arts, painting and drawing at the Institute of Fine Arts, University of Dhaka, Bangladesh 1984/89, Master Drawing of the human figure at the Guildhall University, London 1989/90, Art and Art History at the Goldsmith’s College, University of London 1991/92 and Philosophy of Arts at the Open University, 1997 UK. Life in UK: Since 1991 I have lived and worked in England, taking my inspiration from psychology, philosophy, classical music and observation and involvement in urban (and some rural) life and environment. By producing work that is far from traditional, I actively attempt to destabilize static ideas of art; my own art is a synthesis of colour, compositional element and immediacy of presentation combined into unusual forms. In late January 1995 I moved from London to Brockhall Village at the heart of the Ribble Valley, Lancashire. After a year and half I moved to London in November 1996 to establish a gallery and carry on my art work. My experiment: I am now experimenting with oil colour, acrylic, water colour and glass. Light, powder colour, cloth, water, smoke, snow and sound have been used in my audio-visual installations. Some of my work has involved features of both painting and sculpture and this has given it a hybrid character.
Working as visual artist, leading workshops in schools and local community groups from wire sculptures to paper butterflies for all ages, while at the same time a freelance artist working in the North East, my paintings capture themes of landscape and memory. Sights, sounds, and colours that remind us of a moment in time.

Bruno is a self-taught artist who has dedicated himself exclusively to painting after moving from France to England in 2000. His work has since been exhibited in London, Birmingham, Nottingham as well as Germany, Spain and America.
I initially trained as a Technical Illustrator specialising in cutaway drawings and airbrush renderings. With the advent of CAD and the desktop publishing era I re-trained as a Graphic Designer and worked as a designer/illustrator and lecturer in drawing and graphic communication. My work became increasingly concerned with layout and typography and I subsequently founded a graphic design company. Life drawing and painting has underpinned all the creative work I've been involved in. It is the one constant in my career to date. I continue painting and drawing in order to counterbalance the direction of my other creative work which is virtually all computer based.

Sofia was born in 1977, Spain. As a child, growing up she discovered her love and passion for art. She spent 15 years in Madrid with her family before migrating to London. Sofia attended London Metropolitan University obtaining a Bsc (Hons) in Applied Psychology. Sofia’s background as a psychology graduate adds an edge to her paintings allowing her to pursue her interest for cognitive behaviour and perception two topics that fascinate her. Sofia has a flair and natural ability to transfer her feelings thoughts and emotions to a simple visual format. Her style is unique and innovative. She plays with the art of not knowing the outcome daring to provoke a result from the unexpected providing a meaningful experience for the viewer. Her complex methodology to the eye grows out of her life’s memoirs; her abstract paintings emerge from the unconscious. It is soothing therapy for Sofia and her viewers. “Best attribute for abstract paintings is the ability to create a deep conversation between strangers” When considering which artist inspire her, Sofia says she fears mind pollution, she prefers to keep her mind clear of techniques and attitudes, her technique and only technique is her individualistic perception of life. “Bad abstraction is contrived and forced and can very easily become clichéd.” Sofia has no competitor in her field. She is the one and only Sofia. No one can express feelings like she does. In addition, Sofia has written “The Expression of ImogensJazz” which includes her poetry and thoughts

Jay Rechsteiner who also works under the name Tobleroni was born in Switzerland in 1971 where he spent his childhood. In his early 20s Jay immigrated to Japan with his wife where he devoted his time to the study of art. About six years later he got divorced and set out on a journey through Asia back to Switzerland where he settled down for two years working as an artist while taking art courses at the College of Art and Design in Basel. Jay came to London in 2004. He exhibited internationally in Japan, France, Italy, Switzerland, Portugal and in the UK. Jay Rechsteiner is first and foremost a painter who is constantly questioning art, the art world, political & social events. There is a deep philosophical aspect in his work that manifests itself in a wide range of different paintings of various styles from crude, urban collage-style images to more sophisticated techniques based on computer-based graphic design. Under the name Tobleroni Jay works together with Victor 'Torpedo' Silveira AKA Sardine using the label The Monkey in the Box Company. This collaborative art project produces a vast amount of paintings of a very refreshing style challenging the contemporary sense of art and beauty. Jay Rechsteiner works also in other media such as video, video performance, installation and conceptual projects mainly exploring and defining what art actually is. He now lives and works in London, UK.

The ever-changing effects of light on the Cornish coast fascinate me. I specialise in painting with oils and try to capture this quality of light through my observational and detailed style. As well as commissions I have been exhibiting my work locally in group exhibitions and one-man shows at numerous Cornish and national galleries over the last seven+ years. These include: the National Trust's 'Trelissick Gallery', Truro's 'Lander Gallery' and the Island gallery in St Ives. More recently I have been exhibiting at art fairs and further a field in Cirencester, Cheltenham, Brighton, London and California.

Studied Painting and Dance at Brighton, where I exhibited and performed. I took a break to fall in love and have children and am now immersed in the creative process once more.
Born in rural Norfolk, England in 1973, my childhood was informed by the pervasive influence of the Norfolk broads, of East coast fishing communities and of the endless wheat fields of the East Anglian countryside. After leaving Art college in 1992 I spent several years working as a freelance Artist and Illustrator and exhibiting my own ‘developing’ style of painting. These, early works aimed to juxtapose visual perception and concepts of ‘belonging’ through a broad range of thematic studies. In 1996 I moved to Devon where I completed my degree in Fine Art and a Cert.Ed. in Waldorf/Steiner education, I then began to teach Art and creative practice at community college and a local private school. In May of 2002 I moved, with my wife and two children, from a spacious suburban house to a small neglected bungalow on Dartmoor, deep in the heart of rural Devon. The combination of this new environment and my employment at the prestigious Devon Guild of Craftsmen inspired a profound transformation in my work. This new Artwork was imbued with the rich, value loaded essence of the reclaimed wood from which it was composed and allowed me to further my creative and conceptual ideas to a new level. I now exhibit and sell work across the south west, benefit from regional magazine coverage and take regular commissions for both 2d and 3d compositions.
I have always lived in Hampshire and now live in a small village in the New Forest where I am surrounded by astounding natural beauty. Living in this environment constantly inspires me to paint. I studied Art at College and went on to paint and draw in my spare time whilst bringing up my 2 children and its only been in the last few years I have had the time to share my work with others.
I was born in 1982 in Lucknow, UP a state of India. I grew up with my parents and two brothers, though most of my life I lived out in hostels. In my early ages I grew up in beautiful surroundings of Mussoorie. The images transferred on to the canvas here are replete with nature that substitutes the external one translating feeling and emotions. I strongly believe art should energize and revitalize you along with giving you peace and pleasure. PART OF MY ACHIEVEMENTS § Solo Exhibition at Hotel Taj Palace, Delhi (July 2010) § “EYES AGAINST SPECTRUM” sold at Solo Exhibition Taj Palace § “BREATH WATCHING” sold at Solo Exhibition Hotel Taj Palace § “LADY PRINCESS” procured by Hotel Taj Palace § “STORM APPROACHING” purchased by a USA customer. § “THAT BURNING EVENING” sold in UK. § “THE ORANGE WALL” purchased by Absolutes BPO § “THE CONCRETE” part of 9th Indian Art Exhibition in Indonesia I always carried very specific eye for detail where ever I lived or worked. My creations share a love of realism and rustic pattern, mix of colors like blue, orange and grey that continues to be part of me. The creations are about the inner journey, one that portrays about a personal response to the landscape. Exploration, observation and careful thoughts are the key to success. Ideally there should be some interaction between size of the objects and horizon. Good composition is to judge what to leave out as it is and where to lay the detailing. For example, a greater depth of a field can be achieved by applying subdued colors and tones in the distance. I have a long relation with nature, probably since my childhood. I ask you, “where is the realism of yesterday?” Do you know the life they lived, the man made structures slowly creeping into the earth, smoke from the chimney of the mill floating up at an angle? John Cage very well said, “We need not destroy the past. It has gone.”

Mark Warner is both an Artist and Teacher of Art. He moved to Wales at an early age although now lives and paints in North Shropshire. His art education was carried out in South Wales where he gained an honours degree in Fine Art as well as a post graduate certificate in Art Education. Mark has exhibited work in Coventry, Wolverhampton and Shropshire.
Trained in textile design and progressed onto achieving a masters degree in fine art at Bretton Hall University, West Yorkshire. A natural transition occurred into capturing movement, fluidity and form. To maneuver, play and distort the most simplest of beautiful forms and giving them a poignancy in every day life is the artists upmost intention. Light, depth and space is created in her ability in applying interesting painterly techniques indicative of the artists style. Having exhibited her work on an international scale and with solo exhibitions forthcoming, she is fast developing into one of the most established, creative and reputable artists of our time.

I also accept commissions in a diverse range of media including collage, paint, print and mosaic.

born 1971, Colchester, England. Graduated 2005 from Brighton University with a 1st class honours degree in fine art printmaking. Taken part in various group shows, most recently Originals 06 at the Mall Galleries, London. Working towards upcoming group and solo exhibitions and running a community art project for Brighton Care Cooperatives.
Original paintings and commissions unique to you and your space. I enjoy escaping to the countryside, especially the south west where I draw inspiration from rolling hills, sweeping skies and pockets of nature.
The ever-changing effects of light on the Cornish coast fascinate me. I specialise in painting with oils and try to capture this quality of light through my observational and detailed style. As well as commissions I have been exhibiting my work locally in group exhibitions and one-man shows at numerous Cornish and national galleries over the last seven+ years. These include: the National Trust's 'Trelissick Gallery', Truro's 'Lander Gallery' and the Island gallery in St Ives. More recently I have been exhibiting at art fairs and further a field in Cirencester, Cheltenham, Brighton, London and California.
Pete Kelly was born in Cumbria, NW England in October, 1966. Son of military man and grew up in Germany with British Forces Schools. Introduced to the fundamentals of photography in 1984, by completing a six month course in Photography at the ‘Royal Air Force Photographic Unit’ Wildenrath. He then moved to U.K to study Graphic Design and graduated from Stockport College in 1986 completing a BND in Graphic Design/Advertising'. Pete then moved to the U.S.A in 1987, and stayed until 2002, living in West Palm Beach Florida, Kansas City Missouri, Brooklyn New York & Upstate, New York as well as extensive roadtrips to the Southwest. The decision to explore the United States has benefited Pete greatly as a visual artist. Pete is an emerging Fine Art Photographer, utilising the computer to layer his imagery and sometimes combining images. He has been involved in the 'Digital Revolution' since the early days, adapting photographic and darkroom fundamentals using Photoshop in the computer. He taught 'Digital Imaging' at ‘The New School’ in Manhattan, whilst living in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, in 2001 and his digital ability was commended in 1999 when he won an award at the 'New York Festivals'. Pete has been successful selling his personal work since 1990 and gained his first ‘serious’ representation at ‘The Robin Rice Gallery’ whilst living in New York from 1998 – 2002. He is now represented in 5 states in the U.S and galleries in the U.K. Pete is currently residing in Cheshire, England, and has contributed to many gallery shows: - 'The Dow & Jones Permanent Collection', New York. - 'Sloan-Kettering Permanent Collection' New York. - 'Williamsburg Art & Historical Society’, New York. - '707 Contemporary', Santa Fe, New Mexico. - 'Hudson Galleries', New Orleans, Louisiana. - 'Aspen International Art', Aspen, Colorado. - 'Carrie Haddad Gallery’, Hudson, New York. - 'Keeshan's Fine Art’, Kansas City, Missouri. - 'Robin Rice Gallery’, Manhattan, New York. - ‘Gallery 22’, Hale, Cheshire, U.K - ‘Calvin Charles Gallery’ Scottsdale, Arizona. - ‘Lunar Boy Gallery’ Astoria, Oregon.

I have always expressed myself through art: as a child my father taught me to draw insisting i only drew the gradients of grey i saw in the shadows, this technique leads to a gradual revelation of a figure or object on the paper described by the light that falls upon it. I developed an interest in the pre-Raphaelite artists and obsessively copied paintings of Elizabeth Siddal with charcoal, soft graphite pencils and acrylic paints, but was intrigued and slightly intimidated by the haunting images of surrealist artists such as Dorothea Tanning. Although my formal education BA and MA are in English Literature I have been unable to exorcise the images in my mind (sometimes provoked by the literature i read) any other way than through the messy but visceral medium of paint. My love of travel and my fascination with exploring different art styles particularly religious themes has lead me to paint, draw and photograph around the world. The heavy blue green of rice paddies in Cambodia, the slick brightness of Delhi drenched in monsoon, the reds and ochre in the middle eastern mountains... all these co lours and contrasts combine with study of formal art of various cultures to inform my perpetually developing and shifting style. In my artistic career i have displayed in small galleries and designed pieces for a trendy wine bar as well as painting murals for commercial premises. I have also sold my work at art markets and online. Currently living in Greenwich i am finding inspiration in London life and the people living it, and always see, and delight in, the patterns of light and shadow that describe my subjects and the world around me.

Until 1997 I was a psychologist, writer, musician and dreamer who took photographs and painted in his spare time. Then I discovered the potential of digital technology to combine ALL of these things in a single medium. Officially known as ‘lens-based digital art’, I see it as ‘painting by other means’ using fragments of photographic images. Passion became obsession as it gradually took over my life. I finally left my day jobs in mental health and the treatment of heroin addiction in April 2004 to become a full-time artist. Since then I have exhibited in many high profile galleries across the north of England - including Dean Clough in Halifax, the Cupola gallery in Sheffield, and the Leeds Design Innovations Centre – and also in Dubai. I have also completed a wide range of public, private and corporate commissions.

Anita Klein might say the same of her art. There is a grand simplicity to her works, but that is not the same as saying that they lack subtlety and ambiguity. On the contrary, they have the sort of unselfconscious directness that comes from living and breathing art for so long that it becomes second nature” John Russell Taylor, The Times, London. -“A strong, quirkily humorous depiction of quotidian events” - Nick Andrew, Galleries magazine -“The pictures, which celebrate the small moments of life which often go unappreciated, are warm, witty and quite delightful” - Julia Weiner, Jewish Chronicle -“It is quite brave not only to have a subject matter to your painting these days but also to be fascinated by such ordinary things. There are no desperate attempts to shock, expose or outrage; simply poignant moments showing the things which you would most miss if they were taken away from you” - Helen Smithson, Ham & High. -“Celebrating oases of joy in the quotidian, Anita Klein builds a personal archive, brimming with charisma and wit, that can be identified with by everyone” - Britart.com -“It is nice to have a real humorist recruited to the ranks of gifted painters. She is to be congratulated on livening up our dreary lives” - Guy Burn, Art Review. -“Star of the show for me is the spare, knowing, subversive and comic work of a young painter called Anita Klein” - Godfrey Smith, Sunday Times -“A blithe demonstration of intimacy” - William Zimmer, New York Times -"She is an artist of extraordinary verve and lyrical touch...These images are mirrors of a resonant delight in the moment, an exuberant and infectious love of life. Unfashionable as it is, Anita Klein’s work actually makes us happy." David Carpanini PRE -“ Anita Klein renders the ordinary existence into a celebration of life - mostly based on her family. Her style is remarkably and unmistakably individual - her brilliant palette (based on her Australian childhood?), great compositions and draughtsmanship (hardly to be attributed to the Slade - when she studied there, figurative art was out of favour) all reveal a highly committed and uncompromising artist.” Agi Katz, Boundary Gallery London -‘I know she’s got a quirky scale and that the figures are larger than life,’ says Jenny Groom, owner of a cookery school in Wiltshire, who bought one of Anita Klein’s oil paintings five years ago, ‘but it just accentuates their personality. The painting I have is called "Tuesday Evening", and it shows two women sitting across the table from one another, each holding a glass of wine. You just know they’ve got rid of their husbands and the kids are in bed and they’re having a good gossip, and it makes me laugh every time I look at it. She observes the minutiae of family life - the little things we do that are important to us. If my house was burning down, this is what I’d save.’(Quoted in the Telegraph Magazine 2004)

I initially trained as a Technical Illustrator specialising in cutaway drawings and airbrush renderings. With the advent of CAD and the desktop publishing era I re-trained as a Graphic Designer and worked as a designer/illustrator and lecturer in drawing and graphic communication. My work became increasingly concerned with layout and typography and I subsequently founded a graphic design company. Life drawing and painting has underpinned all the creative work I've been involved in. It is the one constant in my career to date. I continue painting and drawing in order to counterbalance the direction of my other creative work which is virtually all computer based.

I was born in 1982 in Lucknow, UP a state of India. I grew up with my parents and two brothers, though most of my life I lived out in hostels. In my early ages I grew up in beautiful surroundings of Mussoorie. The images transferred on to the canvas here are replete with nature that substitutes the external one translating feeling and emotions. I strongly believe art should energize and revitalize you along with giving you peace and pleasure. PART OF MY ACHIEVEMENTS § Solo Exhibition at Hotel Taj Palace, Delhi (July 2010) § “EYES AGAINST SPECTRUM” sold at Solo Exhibition Taj Palace § “BREATH WATCHING” sold at Solo Exhibition Hotel Taj Palace § “LADY PRINCESS” procured by Hotel Taj Palace § “STORM APPROACHING” purchased by a USA customer. § “THAT BURNING EVENING” sold in UK. § “THE ORANGE WALL” purchased by Absolutes BPO § “THE CONCRETE” part of 9th Indian Art Exhibition in Indonesia I always carried very specific eye for detail where ever I lived or worked. My creations share a love of realism and rustic pattern, mix of colors like blue, orange and grey that continues to be part of me. The creations are about the inner journey, one that portrays about a personal response to the landscape. Exploration, observation and careful thoughts are the key to success. Ideally there should be some interaction between size of the objects and horizon. Good composition is to judge what to leave out as it is and where to lay the detailing. For example, a greater depth of a field can be achieved by applying subdued colors and tones in the distance. I have a long relation with nature, probably since my childhood. I ask you, “where is the realism of yesterday?” Do you know the life they lived, the man made structures slowly creeping into the earth, smoke from the chimney of the mill floating up at an angle? John Cage very well said, “We need not destroy the past. It has gone.”

Paul Marshall-Keyes has been a self-studious patron of the arts and photography since a young age, drawn especially to the form and tonality of 'colourless' photography. Paul combines his love of photography as an artistic medium with his spiritual and emotional attachments to nature and the landscape. Paul strives to ensure that his work gives more than it takes, thus helping to ensure that the landscape remains intact for many generations to come. This encompasses various initiatives including the use of papers, mounts, frames, and the such-like from sustained sources, minimising energy usage, and using ‘green’ transport where possible to reach intended destinations. Paul possesses qualifications in Art and a Diploma in Photography, and has been practicing his craft for a number of years. Paul's art has been sold to a number of private buyers, and he is now beginning to actively pursue exhibition opportunities both in the UK and abroad.

Sofia was born in 1977, Spain. As a child, growing up she discovered her love and passion for art. She spent 15 years in Madrid with her family before migrating to London. Sofia attended London Metropolitan University obtaining a Bsc (Hons) in Applied Psychology. Sofia’s background as a psychology graduate adds an edge to her paintings allowing her to pursue her interest for cognitive behaviour and perception two topics that fascinate her. Sofia has a flair and natural ability to transfer her feelings thoughts and emotions to a simple visual format. Her style is unique and innovative. She plays with the art of not knowing the outcome daring to provoke a result from the unexpected providing a meaningful experience for the viewer. Her complex methodology to the eye grows out of her life’s memoirs; her abstract paintings emerge from the unconscious. It is soothing therapy for Sofia and her viewers. “Best attribute for abstract paintings is the ability to create a deep conversation between strangers” When considering which artist inspire her, Sofia says she fears mind pollution, she prefers to keep her mind clear of techniques and attitudes, her technique and only technique is her individualistic perception of life. “Bad abstraction is contrived and forced and can very easily become clichéd.” Sofia has no competitor in her field. She is the one and only Sofia. No one can express feelings like she does. In addition, Sofia has written “The Expression of ImogensJazz” which includes her poetry and thoughts

Paul Marshall-Keyes has been a self-studious patron of the arts and photography since a young age, drawn especially to the form and tonality of 'colourless' photography. Paul combines his love of photography as an artistic medium with his spiritual and emotional attachments to nature and the landscape. Paul strives to ensure that his work gives more than it takes, thus helping to ensure that the landscape remains intact for many generations to come. This encompasses various initiatives including the use of papers, mounts, frames, and the such-like from sustained sources, minimising energy usage, and using ‘green’ transport where possible to reach intended destinations. Paul possesses qualifications in Art and a Diploma in Photography, and has been practicing his craft for a number of years. Paul's art has been sold to a number of private buyers, and he is now beginning to actively pursue exhibition opportunities both in the UK and abroad.

I was born in Belize to Jamaican parents, where I lived until age four and spent the remainder of my childhood in Jamaica. My experience of life and art in Jamaica has had a huge impact on my work particularly my use of colour and love of found objects. It was in Jamaica where I first gained my fascination with everyday scenes and discarded materials. As a third-world country there is a wonderful imagination when it comes to finding new uses for objects and materials past their original use. In 2000 I completed a three-year studio arts program in Vancouver, Canada and went on to complete a BA in Painting at University of the Arts London in 2004. I have since worked as a freelance artist based in the UK where I have been invited to exhibit my work in both the UK and Europe. I have previously worked as a freelance draftsman, mural painter and artist in Canada and Jamaica. I have received a number of awards and honours during my artistic career. These include an award from the British Columbia Arts Council in Vancouver, a grant from the Urban Community Trust for a mural commission based in a London inner-city housing estate and produced with the help of a group of young people from the local community and a scholarship from the Salzburger Sparkasse Bank.

Jay Rechsteiner who also works under the name Tobleroni was born in Switzerland in 1971 where he spent his childhood. In his early 20s Jay immigrated to Japan with his wife where he devoted his time to the study of art. About six years later he got divorced and set out on a journey through Asia back to Switzerland where he settled down for two years working as an artist while taking art courses at the College of Art and Design in Basel. Jay came to London in 2004. He exhibited internationally in Japan, France, Italy, Switzerland, Portugal and in the UK. Jay Rechsteiner is first and foremost a painter who is constantly questioning art, the art world, political & social events. There is a deep philosophical aspect in his work that manifests itself in a wide range of different paintings of various styles from crude, urban collage-style images to more sophisticated techniques based on computer-based graphic design. Under the name Tobleroni Jay works together with Victor 'Torpedo' Silveira AKA Sardine using the label The Monkey in the Box Company. This collaborative art project produces a vast amount of paintings of a very refreshing style challenging the contemporary sense of art and beauty. Jay Rechsteiner works also in other media such as video, video performance, installation and conceptual projects mainly exploring and defining what art actually is. He now lives and works in London, UK.

Hannah Stewart studied sculpture at the City & Guilds of London Art School. After graduating in 1998, Hannah went on to win a succession of awards for her work, including second prize in the Sefton Open Exhibition 1998; the Major Award from the Manchester Academy of Fine Arts for her sculpture ‘Consider’ in 1999; and the Alec Tiranti Prize for Young Portrait Sculptors in 2000. The recognition she received after the Alec Tiranti Prize led her to be interviewed by the Times for the Great British Hopes column. 2001 saw the completion of a human-sized commission of ‘The Saint Leonard’s Forest Dragon’ in bronze, for Horsham Park, West Sussex. The dragon was commissioned by Horsham in Bloom and can be found at the centre of the maze near the swimming pool, often under several climbing children! Due to the success of this sculpture she has just been commissioned to make a large bronze dinosaur sculpture for Southwater in West Sussex.

The ever-changing effects of light on the Cornish coast fascinate me. I specialise in painting with oils and try to capture this quality of light through my observational and detailed style. As well as commissions I have been exhibiting my work locally in group exhibitions and one-man shows at numerous Cornish and national galleries over the last seven+ years. These include: the National Trust's 'Trelissick Gallery', Truro's 'Lander Gallery' and the Island gallery in St Ives. More recently I have been exhibiting at art fairs and further a field in Cirencester, Cheltenham, Brighton, London and California.

I was born in 1970 in Chicago, USA and immigrated to the UK thirteen years ago. I studied oil painting and printmaking privately with an artist Annette Johnson in Greenwich, London. My artwork is in private collections in the US, UK, and Japan and is represented or exhibited regularly in London, Cornwall and the southeast. My paintings have also been shown in group exhibitions at the National Maritime Museum, Dulwich Picture Gallery and with the Pastel Society and Royal Society of Marine Artists at the Mall Galleries in London. In 2002 I was artist-in-residence in Pouch Cove, Newfoundland where I had the opportunity to experiment with acrylic paints, which I now use almost exclusively. Because of my scientific background I'm also fascinated by the chemical and physical processes involved in the painting materials and colour perception.

I was born in Belize to Jamaican parents, where I lived until age four and spent the remainder of my childhood in Jamaica. My experience of life and art in Jamaica has had a huge impact on my work particularly my use of colour and love of found objects. It was in Jamaica where I first gained my fascination with everyday scenes and discarded materials. As a third-world country there is a wonderful imagination when it comes to finding new uses for objects and materials past their original use. In 2000 I completed a three-year studio arts program in Vancouver, Canada and went on to complete a BA in Painting at University of the Arts London in 2004. I have since worked as a freelance artist based in the UK where I have been invited to exhibit my work in both the UK and Europe. I have previously worked as a freelance draftsman, mural painter and artist in Canada and Jamaica. I have received a number of awards and honours during my artistic career. These include an award from the British Columbia Arts Council in Vancouver, a grant from the Urban Community Trust for a mural commission based in a London inner-city housing estate and produced with the help of a group of young people from the local community and a scholarship from the Salzburger Sparkasse Bank.

Sofia was born in 1977, Spain. As a child, growing up she discovered her love and passion for art. She spent 15 years in Madrid with her family before migrating to London. Sofia attended London Metropolitan University obtaining a Bsc (Hons) in Applied Psychology. Sofia’s background as a psychology graduate adds an edge to her paintings allowing her to pursue her interest for cognitive behaviour and perception two topics that fascinate her. Sofia has a flair and natural ability to transfer her feelings thoughts and emotions to a simple visual format. Her style is unique and innovative. She plays with the art of not knowing the outcome daring to provoke a result from the unexpected providing a meaningful experience for the viewer. Her complex methodology to the eye grows out of her life’s memoirs; her abstract paintings emerge from the unconscious. It is soothing therapy for Sofia and her viewers. “Best attribute for abstract paintings is the ability to create a deep conversation between strangers” When considering which artist inspire her, Sofia says she fears mind pollution, she prefers to keep her mind clear of techniques and attitudes, her technique and only technique is her individualistic perception of life. “Bad abstraction is contrived and forced and can very easily become clichéd.” Sofia has no competitor in her field. She is the one and only Sofia. No one can express feelings like she does. In addition, Sofia has written “The Expression of ImogensJazz” which includes her poetry and thoughts
Paul Marshall-Keyes has been a self-studious patron of the arts and photography since a young age, drawn especially to the form and tonality of 'colourless' photography. Paul combines his love of photography as an artistic medium with his spiritual and emotional attachments to nature and the landscape. Paul strives to ensure that his work gives more than it takes, thus helping to ensure that the landscape remains intact for many generations to come. This encompasses various initiatives including the use of papers, mounts, frames, and the such-like from sustained sources, minimising energy usage, and using ‘green’ transport where possible to reach intended destinations. Paul possesses qualifications in Art and a Diploma in Photography, and has been practicing his craft for a number of years. Paul's art has been sold to a number of private buyers, and he is now beginning to actively pursue exhibition opportunities both in the UK and abroad.

Trained in textile design and progressed onto achieving a masters degree in fine art at Bretton Hall University, West Yorkshire. A natural transition occurred into capturing movement, fluidity and form. To maneuver, play and distort the most simplest of beautiful forms and giving them a poignancy in every day life is the artists upmost intention. Light, depth and space is created in her ability in applying interesting painterly techniques indicative of the artists style. Having exhibited her work on an international scale and with solo exhibitions forthcoming, she is fast developing into one of the most established, creative and reputable artists of our time.

I am an established British sculptor working both in the field of Public Art and also on gallery and site specific projects. Many of my recent works have been large scale public commissions. In 2001 I completed a steel and stone gateway for the main access road from the M4 motorway into the city of Cardiff and a large work in Germany for the Oggelshausen Sculpture Fields. In 2002 I sited large public works in Chesterfield, the London Borough of Sutton and Trinity Hall, Cambridge University. During 2003 I completed a large scale work in granite and cast iron for the offices of the Government ministry DEFRA in Cambridge and a work in marble with moving light projection for Nottingham University. My most recent work, sited in June of 2005, was an 8m high granite work for Novartis Pharmaceuticals in Grimsby. All of these commissions have been completed successfully, within scheduled deadlines and financial budgets.

Birth Place: I was born on March 21, 1968 in a small village called Jhilna, Patuakhali, Bangladesh. Education: I studied fine arts, painting and drawing at the Institute of Fine Arts, University of Dhaka, Bangladesh 1984/89, Master Drawing of the human figure at the Guildhall University, London 1989/90, Art and Art History at the Goldsmith’s College, University of London 1991/92 and Philosophy of Arts at the Open University, 1997 UK. Life in UK: Since 1991 I have lived and worked in England, taking my inspiration from psychology, philosophy, classical music and observation and involvement in urban (and some rural) life and environment. By producing work that is far from traditional, I actively attempt to destabilize static ideas of art; my own art is a synthesis of colour, compositional element and immediacy of presentation combined into unusual forms. In late January 1995 I moved from London to Brockhall Village at the heart of the Ribble Valley, Lancashire. After a year and half I moved to London in November 1996 to establish a gallery and carry on my art work. My experiment: I am now experimenting with oil colour, acrylic, water colour and glass. Light, powder colour, cloth, water, smoke, snow and sound have been used in my audio-visual installations. Some of my work has involved features of both painting and sculpture and this has given it a hybrid character.

Jay Rechsteiner who also works under the name Tobleroni was born in Switzerland in 1971 where he spent his childhood. In his early 20s Jay immigrated to Japan with his wife where he devoted his time to the study of art. About six years later he got divorced and set out on a journey through Asia back to Switzerland where he settled down for two years working as an artist while taking art courses at the College of Art and Design in Basel. Jay came to London in 2004. He exhibited internationally in Japan, France, Italy, Switzerland, Portugal and in the UK. Jay Rechsteiner is first and foremost a painter who is constantly questioning art, the art world, political & social events. There is a deep philosophical aspect in his work that manifests itself in a wide range of different paintings of various styles from crude, urban collage-style images to more sophisticated techniques based on computer-based graphic design. Under the name Tobleroni Jay works together with Victor 'Torpedo' Silveira AKA Sardine using the label The Monkey in the Box Company. This collaborative art project produces a vast amount of paintings of a very refreshing style challenging the contemporary sense of art and beauty. Jay Rechsteiner works also in other media such as video, video performance, installation and conceptual projects mainly exploring and defining what art actually is. He now lives and works in London, UK.

Born in Lancaster in 1980 I always showed a creative streak but didn't indulge it until recently. Now living in Preston I have recently taken up painting and totally fallen in love with it. whilst I have had no formal art education I consider the hours spent painting to be education enough for me.
I have grown up as the daughter of a classical portrait painter in a very multicultural environment; and have lived in different countries experiencing varied cultures through out my life.

Sofia’s background as a psychology graduate adds an edge to her paintings allowing her to pursue her interest for cognitive behaviour and perception two topics that fascinate her. Sofia has a flair and natural ability to transfer her feelings thoughts and emotions to a simple visual format. Her style is unique and innovative. She plays with the art of not knowing the outcome daring to provoke a result from the unexpected providing a meaningful experience for the viewer. Her complex methodology to the eye grows out of her life’s memoirs; her abstract paintings emerge from the unconscious. It is soothing therapy for Sofia and her viewers. “Best attribute for abstract paintings is the ability to create a deep conversation between strangers” When considering which artist inspire her, Sofia says she fears mind pollution, she prefers to keep her mind clear of techniques and attitudes, her technique and only technique is her individualistic perception of life. “Bad abstraction is contrived and forced and can very easily become clichéd.” Sofia has no competitor in her field. She is the one and only Sofia. No one can express feelings like she does. In addition, Sofia has written “The Expression of ImogensJazz” which includes her poetry and thoughts

Born in Teesside and living in West Yorkshire, Mike is passionate about the whole process of photography, composition, qualities of light and tone. Largely self taught. Exhibited in commercial galleries, as well as public spaces, bars and restaurants. He is also available for commissioned work.
Artistic education- self taught. My work is mainly on display in bars, cafes and restaurants.
Trained in textile design and progressed onto achieving a masters degree in fine art at Bretton Hall University, West Yorkshire. A natural transition occurred into capturing movement, fluidity and form. To maneuver, play and distort the most simplest of beautiful forms and giving them a poignancy in every day life is the artists upmost intention. Light, depth and space is created in her ability in applying interesting painterly techniques indicative of the artists style. Having exhibited her work on an international scale and with solo exhibitions forthcoming, she is fast developing into one of the most established, creative and reputable artists of our time.

Jay Rechsteiner who also works under the name Tobleroni was born in Switzerland in 1971 where he spent his childhood. In his early 20s Jay immigrated to Japan with his wife where he devoted his time to the study of art. About six years later he got divorced and set out on a journey through Asia back to Switzerland where he settled down for two years working as an artist while taking art courses at the College of Art and Design in Basel. Jay came to London in 2004. He exhibited internationally in Japan, France, Italy, Switzerland, Portugal and in the UK. Jay Rechsteiner is first and foremost a painter who is constantly questioning art, the art world, political & social events. There is a deep philosophical aspect in his work that manifests itself in a wide range of different paintings of various styles from crude, urban collage-style images to more sophisticated techniques based on computer-based graphic design. Under the name Tobleroni Jay works together with Victor 'Torpedo' Silveira AKA Sardine using the label The Monkey in the Box Company. This collaborative art project produces a vast amount of paintings of a very refreshing style challenging the contemporary sense of art and beauty. Jay Rechsteiner works also in other media such as video, video performance, installation and conceptual projects mainly exploring and defining what art actually is. He now lives and works in London, UK.

Until 1997 I was a psychologist, writer, musician and dreamer who took photographs and painted in his spare time. Then I discovered the potential of digital technology to combine ALL of these things in a single medium. Officially known as ‘lens-based digital art’, I see it as ‘painting by other means’ using fragments of photographic images. Passion became obsession as it gradually took over my life. I finally left my day jobs in mental health and the treatment of heroin addiction in April 2004 to become a full-time artist. Since then I have exhibited in many high profile galleries across the north of England - including Dean Clough in Halifax, the Cupola gallery in Sheffield, and the Leeds Design Innovations Centre – and also in Dubai. I have also completed a wide range of public, private and corporate commissions.

I am an established British sculptor working both in the field of Public Art and also on gallery and site specific projects. Many of my recent works have been large scale public commissions. In 2001 I completed a steel and stone gateway for the main access road from the M4 motorway into the city of Cardiff and a large work in Germany for the Oggelshausen Sculpture Fields. In 2002 I sited large public works in Chesterfield, the London Borough of Sutton and Trinity Hall, Cambridge University. During 2003 I completed a large scale work in granite and cast iron for the offices of the Government ministry DEFRA in Cambridge and a work in marble with moving light projection for Nottingham University. My most recent work, sited in June of 2005, was an 8m high granite work for Novartis Pharmaceuticals in Grimsby. All of these commissions have been completed successfully, within scheduled deadlines and financial budgets.

I was born in 1982 in Lucknow, UP a state of India. I grew up with my parents and two brothers, though most of my life I lived out in hostels. In my early ages I grew up in beautiful surroundings of Mussoorie. The images transferred on to the canvas here are replete with nature that substitutes the external one translating feeling and emotions. I strongly believe art should energize and revitalize you along with giving you peace and pleasure. PART OF MY ACHIEVEMENTS § Solo Exhibition at Hotel Taj Palace, Delhi (July 2010) § “EYES AGAINST SPECTRUM” sold at Solo Exhibition Taj Palace § “BREATH WATCHING” sold at Solo Exhibition Hotel Taj Palace § “LADY PRINCESS” procured by Hotel Taj Palace § “STORM APPROACHING” purchased by a USA customer. § “THAT BURNING EVENING” sold in UK. § “THE ORANGE WALL” purchased by Absolutes BPO § “THE CONCRETE” part of 9th Indian Art Exhibition in Indonesia I always carried very specific eye for detail where ever I lived or worked. My creations share a love of realism and rustic pattern, mix of colors like blue, orange and grey that continues to be part of me. The creations are about the inner journey, one that portrays about a personal response to the landscape. Exploration, observation and careful thoughts are the key to success. Ideally there should be some interaction between size of the objects and horizon. Good composition is to judge what to leave out as it is and where to lay the detailing. For example, a greater depth of a field can be achieved by applying subdued colors and tones in the distance. I have a long relation with nature, probably since my childhood. I ask you, “where is the realism of yesterday?” Do you know the life they lived, the man made structures slowly creeping into the earth, smoke from the chimney of the mill floating up at an angle? John Cage very well said, “We need not destroy the past. It has gone.”

I am an established British sculptor working both in the field of Public Art and also on gallery and site specific projects. Many of my recent works have been large scale public commissions. In 2001 I completed a steel and stone gateway for the main access road from the M4 motorway into the city of Cardiff and a large work in Germany for the Oggelshausen Sculpture Fields. In 2002 I sited large public works in Chesterfield, the London Borough of Sutton and Trinity Hall, Cambridge University. During 2003 I completed a large scale work in granite and cast iron for the offices of the Government ministry DEFRA in Cambridge and a work in marble with moving light projection for Nottingham University. My most recent work, sited in June of 2005, was an 8m high granite work for Novartis Pharmaceuticals in Grimsby. All of these commissions have been completed successfully, within scheduled deadlines and financial budgets.

Over the last four years Julia’s work has concentrated on exploring and developing inspirational ideas drawn from nature and plant life. Since graduating in 2003 with a degree in Three Dimensional Design from Manchester Metropolitan University her work has blossomed into new and experimental pieces. This passion to find and express her ideas through art began at a young age and has continued and grown into her current artistic practice today. Now living and working from her small Oxford based studio, Julia’s unique and individual work is becoming increasingly popular in the UK and abroad.
Trained in textile design and progressed onto achieving a masters degree in fine art at Bretton Hall University, West Yorkshire. A natural transition occurred into capturing movement, fluidity and form. To maneuver, play and distort the most simplest of beautiful forms and giving them a poignancy in every day life is the artists upmost intention. Light, depth and space is created in her ability in applying interesting painterly techniques indicative of the artists style. Having exhibited her work on an international scale and with solo exhibitions forthcoming, she is fast developing into one of the most established, creative and reputable artists of our time.

Chelsea school of Art and Royal Academy Schools Graduate who has exhibited at the Royal Academy and at many galleries in London and elsewhere.
Julie Barrow graduated from Chelsea School of Art in London in 1995. During her time at Chelsea she focused on and developed a very strong drawing portfolio, utilising many still-life applications in her work. This portfolio saw her move into freelance textile design after graduating, specialising in English florals, drawn from life. Working from a small studio in South Kensington for the next three years, she quickly became a designer of choice for many of her regular American buyers. In 1999, she began to develop her first collection of paintings on canvas as an original artist. The collection, mainly acrylic with charcoal & chalk, included a series of 6 studies, all drawn from life. The collection sold out during her first exhibition of the work, at a small local gallery in Chislehurst, Kent, and this set in motion a change in the focus of Julie’s career from designer to original artist. A three month move to Lisbon in 2002, which lasted for four years (!) saw her work take on a new sensitivity and a greater sense of maturity, as she began to combine a huge variety of media in her work, from broken CD’s, to sand, glue and homemade papers. The use of subtle muted tones on these heavily textured grounds gave her paintings an inner life of their own. She completed several collections there, from images inspired by the beautiful cobbled streets with colourful washing lines, to work dedicated to the glamour and nostalgia of the traditional Portuguese bullfight. In 2006 Julie returned to the UK and has since been working on a new collection inspired by changes in herself, a metamorphosis which she is also documenting in the form of a book. Her new work continues to feature her trademark textural grounds, but the quiet muted tones have been replaced by brighter, more ephemeral colours. Julie now lives in Kent.
I studied fine art, 3d design and fashion before finally deciding to paint, my work has developed over the past 8 years to the large scale abstract pieces I am currently working on. I have been exhibiting since 1998, and had work shown in London, manchester, leeds and new York, where I exhibit annualy and take part in art gallery events in Brooklyn and Chelsea. In total I have exhibited at around 45 shows and regularly sell work to collectors and undertake commissions.

The ever-changing effects of light on the Cornish coast fascinate me. I specialise in painting with oils and try to capture this quality of light through my observational and detailed style. As well as commissions I have been exhibiting my work locally in group exhibitions and one-man shows at numerous Cornish and national galleries over the last seven+ years. These include: the National Trust's 'Trelissick Gallery', Truro's 'Lander Gallery' and the Island gallery in St Ives. More recently I have been exhibiting at art fairs and further a field in Cirencester, Cheltenham, Brighton, London and California.

Paul Marshall-Keyes has been a self-studious patron of the arts and photography since a young age, drawn especially to the form and tonality of 'colourless' photography. Paul combines his love of photography as an artistic medium with his spiritual and emotional attachments to nature and the landscape. Paul strives to ensure that his work gives more than it takes, thus helping to ensure that the landscape remains intact for many generations to come. This encompasses various initiatives including the use of papers, mounts, frames, and the such-like from sustained sources, minimising energy usage, and using ‘green’ transport where possible to reach intended destinations. Paul possesses qualifications in Art and a Diploma in Photography, and has been practicing his craft for a number of years. Paul's art has been sold to a number of private buyers, and he is now beginning to actively pursue exhibition opportunities both in the UK and abroad.
Born in Yorkshire in 1974. I studied art at school and went on to The University of Aberdeen where I achieved a Master of Arts degree in 1999 After spending six months in India teaching and travelling I was heavily influenced by my experiences, this in turn, allowed me to develop and transform my painting styles to give me a unique understanding of my creativity. I moved back to Yorkshire and had my first solo exhibition in Shipley, West Yorkshire. Energized from people viewing my work I was delighted when I found out that I had sold four pieces in just one week. Since this exhibition I have since exhibited several time in London. So far, I have sold around 60 original pieces, and about 20 commissions from this venture. The artwork is mostly modern contemporary acrylic on large canvas, but ranges from abstract nudes to local Urban/Rural landscapes. In the mean time I look to display my work elsewhere and was delighted to discover that my work had been chosen, out of hundreds of entries, to be displayed at the opening of the new Keighley Art College. From this, I received a stunning review from the press, stating that my work was ‘Tate Worthy’; this encouraged me to further my career and experiment with my talent and the market. In York I exhibited in the open-air exhibition, which proved to be very successful. Here, I received a very positive response to my art and sold a lot of my new style acrylic-abstracts. Exhibitions: Shipley: 2004 Saltaire: 2004-5 York: 2005 Keighley Art Centre: 2005 London, Candid Arts: 2006 London, Canary Wharf: 2006 London, financial district: 2007 Barnsley Art Gallery: 2008-9 Barnsley council HQ: 2007

The ever-changing effects of light on the Cornish coast fascinate me. I specialise in painting with oils and try to capture this quality of light through my observational and detailed style. As well as commissions I have been exhibiting my work locally in group exhibitions and one-man shows at numerous Cornish and national galleries over the last seven+ years. These include: the National Trust's 'Trelissick Gallery', Truro's 'Lander Gallery' and the Island gallery in St Ives. More recently I have been exhibiting at art fairs and further a field in Cirencester, Cheltenham, Brighton, London and California.
Born in Wigan, UK 1957. Studied painting and printmaking at Wigan and Sunderland College's of Art.

Trained in textile design and progressed onto achieving a masters degree in fine art at Bretton Hall University, West Yorkshire. A natural transition occurred into capturing movement, fluidity and form. To maneuver, play and distort the most simplest of beautiful forms and giving them a poignancy in every day life is the artists upmost intention. Light, depth and space is created in her ability in applying interesting painterly techniques indicative of the artists style. Having exhibited her work on an international scale and with solo exhibitions forthcoming, she is fast developing into one of the most established, creative and reputable artists of our time.

Hannah Stewart studied sculpture at the City & Guilds of London Art School. After graduating in 1998, Hannah went on to win a succession of awards for her work, including second prize in the Sefton Open Exhibition 1998; the Major Award from the Manchester Academy of Fine Arts for her sculpture ‘Consider’ in 1999; and the Alec Tiranti Prize for Young Portrait Sculptors in 2000. The recognition she received after the Alec Tiranti Prize led her to be interviewed by the Times for the Great British Hopes column. 2001 saw the completion of a human-sized commission of ‘The Saint Leonard’s Forest Dragon’ in bronze, for Horsham Park, West Sussex. The dragon was commissioned by Horsham in Bloom and can be found at the centre of the maze near the swimming pool, often under several climbing children! Due to the success of this sculpture she has just been commissioned to make a large bronze dinosaur sculpture for Southwater in West Sussex.

Jay Rechsteiner who also works under the name Tobleroni was born in Switzerland in 1971 where he spent his childhood. In his early 20s Jay immigrated to Japan with his wife where he devoted his time to the study of art. About six years later he got divorced and set out on a journey through Asia back to Switzerland where he settled down for two years working as an artist while taking art courses at the College of Art and Design in Basel. Jay came to London in 2004. He exhibited internationally in Japan, France, Italy, Switzerland, Portugal and in the UK. Jay Rechsteiner is first and foremost a painter who is constantly questioning art, the art world, political & social events. There is a deep philosophical aspect in his work that manifests itself in a wide range of different paintings of various styles from crude, urban collage-style images to more sophisticated techniques based on computer-based graphic design. Under the name Tobleroni Jay works together with Victor 'Torpedo' Silveira AKA Sardine using the label The Monkey in the Box Company. This collaborative art project produces a vast amount of paintings of a very refreshing style challenging the contemporary sense of art and beauty. Jay Rechsteiner works also in other media such as video, video performance, installation and conceptual projects mainly exploring and defining what art actually is. He now lives and works in London, UK.

I was born in 1982 in Lucknow, UP a state of India. I grew up with my parents and two brothers, though most of my life I lived out in hostels. In my early ages I grew up in beautiful surroundings of Mussoorie. The images transferred on to the canvas here are replete with nature that substitutes the external one translating feeling and emotions. I strongly believe art should energize and revitalize you along with giving you peace and pleasure. PART OF MY ACHIEVEMENTS § Solo Exhibition at Hotel Taj Palace, Delhi (July 2010) § “EYES AGAINST SPECTRUM” sold at Solo Exhibition Taj Palace § “BREATH WATCHING” sold at Solo Exhibition Hotel Taj Palace § “LADY PRINCESS” procured by Hotel Taj Palace § “STORM APPROACHING” purchased by a USA customer. § “THAT BURNING EVENING” sold in UK. § “THE ORANGE WALL” purchased by Absolutes BPO § “THE CONCRETE” part of 9th Indian Art Exhibition in Indonesia I always carried very specific eye for detail where ever I lived or worked. My creations share a love of realism and rustic pattern, mix of colors like blue, orange and grey that continues to be part of me. The creations are about the inner journey, one that portrays about a personal response to the landscape. Exploration, observation and careful thoughts are the key to success. Ideally there should be some interaction between size of the objects and horizon. Good composition is to judge what to leave out as it is and where to lay the detailing. For example, a greater depth of a field can be achieved by applying subdued colors and tones in the distance. I have a long relation with nature, probably since my childhood. I ask you, “where is the realism of yesterday?” Do you know the life they lived, the man made structures slowly creeping into the earth, smoke from the chimney of the mill floating up at an angle? John Cage very well said, “We need not destroy the past. It has gone.”

I was born in 1982 in Lucknow, UP a state of India. I grew up with my parents and two brothers, though most of my life I lived out in hostels. In my early ages I grew up in beautiful surroundings of Mussoorie. The images transferred on to the canvas here are replete with nature that substitutes the external one translating feeling and emotions. I strongly believe art should energize and revitalize you along with giving you peace and pleasure. PART OF MY ACHIEVEMENTS § Solo Exhibition at Hotel Taj Palace, Delhi (July 2010) § “EYES AGAINST SPECTRUM” sold at Solo Exhibition Taj Palace § “BREATH WATCHING” sold at Solo Exhibition Hotel Taj Palace § “LADY PRINCESS” procured by Hotel Taj Palace § “STORM APPROACHING” purchased by a USA customer. § “THAT BURNING EVENING” sold in UK. § “THE ORANGE WALL” purchased by Absolutes BPO § “THE CONCRETE” part of 9th Indian Art Exhibition in Indonesia I always carried very specific eye for detail where ever I lived or worked. My creations share a love of realism and rustic pattern, mix of colors like blue, orange and grey that continues to be part of me. The creations are about the inner journey, one that portrays about a personal response to the landscape. Exploration, observation and careful thoughts are the key to success. Ideally there should be some interaction between size of the objects and horizon. Good composition is to judge what to leave out as it is and where to lay the detailing. For example, a greater depth of a field can be achieved by applying subdued colors and tones in the distance. I have a long relation with nature, probably since my childhood. I ask you, “where is the realism of yesterday?” Do you know the life they lived, the man made structures slowly creeping into the earth, smoke from the chimney of the mill floating up at an angle? John Cage very well said, “We need not destroy the past. It has gone.”

I am an established British sculptor working both in the field of Public Art and also on gallery and site specific projects. Many of my recent works have been large scale public commissions. In 2001 I completed a steel and stone gateway for the main access road from the M4 motorway into the city of Cardiff and a large work in Germany for the Oggelshausen Sculpture Fields. In 2002 I sited large public works in Chesterfield, the London Borough of Sutton and Trinity Hall, Cambridge University. During 2003 I completed a large scale work in granite and cast iron for the offices of the Government ministry DEFRA in Cambridge and a work in marble with moving light projection for Nottingham University. My most recent work, sited in June of 2005, was an 8m high granite work for Novartis Pharmaceuticals in Grimsby. All of these commissions have been completed successfully, within scheduled deadlines and financial budgets.

Anita Klein might say the same of her art. There is a grand simplicity to her works, but that is not the same as saying that they lack subtlety and ambiguity. On the contrary, they have the sort of unselfconscious directness that comes from living and breathing art for so long that it becomes second nature” John Russell Taylor, The Times, London. -“A strong, quirkily humorous depiction of quotidian events” - Nick Andrew, Galleries magazine -“The pictures, which celebrate the small moments of life which often go unappreciated, are warm, witty and quite delightful” - Julia Weiner, Jewish Chronicle -“It is quite brave not only to have a subject matter to your painting these days but also to be fascinated by such ordinary things. There are no desperate attempts to shock, expose or outrage; simply poignant moments showing the things which you would most miss if they were taken away from you” - Helen Smithson, Ham & High. -“Celebrating oases of joy in the quotidian, Anita Klein builds a personal archive, brimming with charisma and wit, that can be identified with by everyone” - Britart.com -“It is nice to have a real humorist recruited to the ranks of gifted painters. She is to be congratulated on livening up our dreary lives” - Guy Burn, Art Review. -“Star of the show for me is the spare, knowing, subversive and comic work of a young painter called Anita Klein” - Godfrey Smith, Sunday Times -“A blithe demonstration of intimacy” - William Zimmer, New York Times -"She is an artist of extraordinary verve and lyrical touch...These images are mirrors of a resonant delight in the moment, an exuberant and infectious love of life. Unfashionable as it is, Anita Klein’s work actually makes us happy." David Carpanini PRE -“ Anita Klein renders the ordinary existence into a celebration of life - mostly based on her family. Her style is remarkably and unmistakably individual - her brilliant palette (based on her Australian childhood?), great compositions and draughtsmanship (hardly to be attributed to the Slade - when she studied there, figurative art was out of favour) all reveal a highly committed and uncompromising artist.” Agi Katz, Boundary Gallery London -‘I know she’s got a quirky scale and that the figures are larger than life,’ says Jenny Groom, owner of a cookery school in Wiltshire, who bought one of Anita Klein’s oil paintings five years ago, ‘but it just accentuates their personality. The painting I have is called "Tuesday Evening", and it shows two women sitting across the table from one another, each holding a glass of wine. You just know they’ve got rid of their husbands and the kids are in bed and they’re having a good gossip, and it makes me laugh every time I look at it. She observes the minutiae of family life - the little things we do that are important to us. If my house was burning down, this is what I’d save.’(Quoted in the Telegraph Magazine 2004)

Sofia was born in 1977, Spain. As a child, growing up she discovered her love and passion for art. She spent 15 years in Madrid with her family before migrating to London. Sofia attended London Metropolitan University obtaining a Bsc (Hons) in Applied Psychology. Sofia’s background as a psychology graduate adds an edge to her paintings allowing her to pursue her interest for cognitive behaviour and perception two topics that fascinate her. Sofia has a flair and natural ability to transfer her feelings thoughts and emotions to a simple visual format. Her style is unique and innovative. She plays with the art of not knowing the outcome daring to provoke a result from the unexpected providing a meaningful experience for the viewer. Her complex methodology to the eye grows out of her life’s memoirs; her abstract paintings emerge from the unconscious. It is soothing therapy for Sofia and her viewers. “Best attribute for abstract paintings is the ability to create a deep conversation between strangers” When considering which artist inspire her, Sofia says she fears mind pollution, she prefers to keep her mind clear of techniques and attitudes, her technique and only technique is her individualistic perception of life. “Bad abstraction is contrived and forced and can very easily become clichéd.” Sofia has no competitor in her field. She is the one and only Sofia. No one can express feelings like she does. In addition, Sofia has written “The Expression of ImogensJazz” which includes her poetry and thoughts

I graduated with my Visual Cultures Art Degree in 1997 with a BA (Hons) from Nottingham and now live in Tunbridge Wells. I worked in Graphic Design for several years, but now, with a young family, only produce artwork freelance. This has given me the scope to try out new ideas and choose my own direction. My recent 'Iconic Canvases' have probably been one of my most successful projects to date. It started off as another one of my "projects" for our home and after a number of compliments and a one-off commission for a client, the demand for this genre of my work escalated and I therefore decided to setup a studio to create these wonderful Iconic artworks.

I was born in the north east of England and studied at Sunderland and Maidstone colleges of Art. Prior to this I wanted to become an actor and joined the National youth Theatre where I had a nightly embarrassing experience dancing with a chair in 'Zigger Zagger' which convinced me that acting wasn't the career for me. My work ranges from small to large paintings and drawings. I have designed sets, costumes and publicity for dance companies, done residencies and commissions in schools hospitals, theatres and arts centres. My paintings have been exhibited in London, Paris and Amsterdam and 'The Silent Scene' a touring exhibition which featured the work artists whose work is narrative. My public commissions include '100 fish-in-a-Tree' for Southampton City Arts, The 'Map' mural for the Royal county Hospital Brighton and 'Three Rivers One Sea' for the newly-built Oakgrove College - Worthing.

Trained in textile design and progressed onto achieving a masters degree in fine art at Bretton Hall University, West Yorkshire. A natural transition occurred into capturing movement, fluidity and form. To maneuver, play and distort the most simplest of beautiful forms and giving them a poignancy in every day life is the artists upmost intention. Light, depth and space is created in her ability in applying interesting painterly techniques indicative of the artists style. Having exhibited her work on an international scale and with solo exhibitions forthcoming, she is fast developing into one of the most established, creative and reputable artists of our time.
