Maeve BaytonMaeve Bayton is a 'colourist'. Her artwork is bold and vibrant, and she tends to work with simplified areas of flat colour. She has been influenced by the 1930s/1940s pared down graphic design and heightened use of colour on plates, book covers and railway posters.
Kay JamiesonKay Jamieson, originally from rural New Zealand, has painted for most of her life and loves the 'great outdoors'. Although she enjoys painting landscapes and still life, Kay has always had a preference for drawing and painting people, particularly portraits.
Debrah Martin Debrah Martin is inspired by the richness of the landscape all around us, the sensuality that we daily experience yet often fail to notice, and the beauty of colour and light that transforms both us, and the simplest scene that we see, from the humblest tree to the stormiest sky.

Karen L FrenchKaren L French is passionate about the patterns in life and their esoteric symbolism, particularly sacred geometry and colours. She enjoys creating abstract, expressionist artworks that are intended to have interesting effects on viewers because of their underlying meanings.
Alan KestnerAlan Kestner is influenced by naïf painters, such as Douanier Rousseau. Like them he uses simple and expressive figures against brightly coloured backgrounds. However, Alan's art is often subverted by more troubling themes, rather than being playful.
Rosie PhippsRosie Phipps is inspired by a philosophical interest in the temporal, the spiritual and sensual. Her paintings reflect the secular and the spiritual; the archetypal structure of psyche and the images it provides as we move through life, its seasons and its celebrations.

Dennis HamleyDennis Hamley's career spans over fifty years, during which time he has written over eighty books, some for schools and teachers, but mainly for children and young adults. Dennis now teaches, writes, edits, and publishes out-of-print books as e-books under Joslin Books.
Kamal LatharKamal Lathar is originally from India and the land, its spices, its colours and vibrancy of life are all evident in the way he paints, without fear or boundaries. His images weave a story, something deep inside his soul. Kamal considers art to be a very personal, emotive journey.
Ann WarrenAnn Warren has travelled all her life, absorbing interest and colour from her surroundings in Finland, India and Papua New Guinea. She is inspired by light and the incredible beauty of nature, so the colours Ann uses have to be bright and strong.
