Sophie worked for twenty years on building sites following her BA in Fine Art, before dedicating herself fully to painting. She has recently completed an MA in Painting at the RCA and currently lives and works between Hampshire and London.

Sophie is a representational painter. She needs to deeply scrutinise her subject matter to understand it and to occupy it, usually through drawing. She then tries her best to respect and illuminate what she sees and experiences. Once she starts painting, the painting itself begins to dictate its own presence and a conversation begins. She endeavours to listen to the painting's distinct voice with her eyes, looking for a truth or pictorial rightness that, when it emerges, can feel so loud and obvious – though sometimes this process may involve days or months of working and only be faint.

Sophie has great respect for the infinite possibilities of paint. Currently she is drawn to the resistance of working on board with the buttery, messy slowness of oil paint. As she paints, she is always learning – longing for a deeper understanding of the elusive mysteries and tensions in painting. To know what she doesn't yet know keeps her getting out of bed every day.

Sophie Cole, is a contemporary, self-taught artist inspired by nature and the constantly evolving forms found within in it. The beautiful English countryside in the Surrey hills where she lives, offers a never-ending source of inspiration and her atmospheric paintings are closely connected to the rhythms and energy of the rural landscape.

From animals to human portraiture, landscapes to nature, Sophie offers a wide variety of natural subjects to depict in her work. Exploring her subjects using inks, acrylic, watercolour, pencil and charcoal, Sophie achieves an end that is a visual and emotional response to her subject, underpinned by a strong drawing practice.

She has been successfully producing and selling work for the last 15 years. After a busy career in London, she is now a full time artist happily working from her studio at home with her husband and two young daughters.

A painter and textile designer, Samantha Rudd creates landscape-inspired works that blend representation with abstraction. Her paintings begin with dynamic sketches made in the landscapes surrounding her homes in Cheshire and North Wales, capturing the flux of woodland and field patterns, and the ebb and flow of estuaries and sandy bays. These sketches become the foundation for paintings developed through spontaneous mark-making and a soft colour palette.
Sam holds a degree in Fine Art and an MA in Art and Design. Before becoming a full-time painter, she worked as an illustrator for publications including House & Garden and The Guardian, and ran her own textile company. Her numerous commissions include work for Highgrove & Sandringham, The Dorchester, Harrods and Cath Kidston.
Sam now paints full-time and her work is in great demand. She had a solo exhibition in London in autumn 2023.

Flora Forshall is an artist printmaker based in Cornwall. She graduated with a BA in textile design from Falmouth University, where she specialised in print, producing large screen prints in repeat on fabric. She now makes limited edition screen prints on paper: bold, colourful, playful imagery. She is interested in a wide range of subjects and is inspired by the colours and shapes of the natural environment and the world around her. She creates images by experimenting with collage and painting before printing.
“I use bold, colourful and playful imagery – I don’t focus on a particular subject but I am most interested and inspired by the natural environment.”

Fiona Hamilton is a Bristol based printmaker. Her work explores the ecological sublime and an appreciation of the majesty of nature. She uses detailed intaglio etching, drypoint, lithography and chine collé in her prints, to draw the viewer into an ethereal landscape, that has an impact on our sense of place in relation to the natural world. Fiona primarily uses black and white, with natural tones of chine collé, and sometimes layers of lithographic texture, to introduce warmth to the stark palette and to invoke a sublime emotional connection. Detailed wood engraving is used to hone in and examine specific details within the eco-system. She works from sketches, photographs, notes and memory to create her original prints.

Fiona has an MA in Multi-Disciplinary Printmaking from The University of the West of England (2023). Previously she studied Graphic Fine Art at Canterbury (2002) and established well respected printmaking business Soma Gallery in 2004.

Eska Marsh (b. 1994) is a British contemporary artist based in Bristol, UK.

Working primarily with drypoint and carborundum, Eska takes inspiration from post-war modernism, still lifes, and domestic objects, striking a distinctive balance between abstraction and the everyday in her monochromatic prints.

Even when depicting small objects, Eska’s compositions makes them appear monumental and weighty, emphasizing their form and silhouette.

Eska has garnered significant acclaim over the past decade, with her limited edition prints displayed in selected galleries and private collections internationally, with recent shows at Royal Academy of Arts Summer Exhibition, Morgans, Milieu Studios, Woolwich Contemporary Print Fair and Wondering People.

A printmaker and illustrator, Tom Frost graduated from Falmouth College of Arts in 2001 and returned to his hometown of Bristol, where he discovered screen printing at the Snap studio. This chance encounter with the medium inspired him to move away from purely digital work as a graphic designer and develop a hands-on printmaking practice.

Tom has worked with numerous clients including the V&A, Penguin, Walker Books, Selvedge Magazine, Yorkshire Sculpture Park, and Perry's Cider. His work draws inspiration from old matchboxes, stamps, folk art, tin toys and children's books, creating pieces that blend traditional printmaking techniques with his distinctive illustrative style.

Tom now lives and works in rural Wales, where he divides his time between printmaking, restoring a Georgian house and raising a young family.

Originally from London, Tara Leaver is an artist and teacher living by the sea in Cornwall, UK. Tara is happiest near - or preferably in - the sea, where she swims as often as she can. She immerses herself in the multi-sensory experience of it, taking photos underwater, looking and feeling into the abundance of life above and below the waves. Back in the studio, she weaves together elements from the photos, memories, and gathered seaweed, to distill those experiences into paintings.

Sally Newton is an artist based in Hampshire. Since graduating from the Cambridge School of Art in 2004 with a B.A.(Hons) in Fine Art (Printmaking), Sally has exhibited her work at solo and group exhibitions across the UK.

Drawn to her relationship with the natural world in the UK, Sally explores thematic work related to both the life and land of our island. Her recent works explore landscapes using colour, form and texture to capture a deep sense of connection with the environment. Studies always begin from life and through a series of drawings using mostly graphite or oil pastels, her work hints at a shared intimacy and legacy with the land.

Drawing is a way of finding shapes and patterns, exploring an atmosphere and sense of place, finding something magical in an everyday rural landscape and is at the heart of my practice as a designer.

2013-2015 Artist in Residence at Great Dixter House and Gardens.  Text from 'Drawing Dixter' catalogue: It’s exciting to be a part of this cultivated jungle of a garden, a lively community of gardeners, and lovers of the land. Great Dixter is a contemporary British pastoral idyll reminiscent of Samuel Palmer and the artists of the 1930s neo romantic movement.  Rosie is exploring this working landscape in all weathers and seasons through drawing and printmaking.  She is drawn to the patterns, rhythms and atmosphere of the place. Every corner is like a stage with a play in progress.  Rosie endeavors to capture both the hard work of gardening life and the quiet magic of an empty garden. 

A graduate in Fine Art at Central St Martin's, Rosa's paintings are either entirely abstract or loosely figurative with an autobiographical theme. Rosa works from memory and loose studies, with an emphasis on colour and bold mark-making and an interest in pattern.

She is also the founder of Sketchout, a company that runs drawing workshops in London museums and is the author of "The Big Painting Challenge".

Lizzie is a printmaker living and working in Oxford. She works primarily in linocut and woodcut, enjoying the process of stylisation and the element of craftsmanship involved. Her work pays close attention to colour and pattern and harks to the decorative art of the 20th century British printmakers who have informed her sense of design.

Inspiration for Lizzie’s work comes from the natural world, the creatures who inhabit it, and a desire to draw attention to the beauty and importance of wild places. 

Lizzie works as a printmaking technician at the Oxford Printmakers Co-operative. Her work here has been a driving force for her own experimentation, combining different methods and endlessly playing with ways of creating texture and line.​ 
‘Inspired by the form, movement, and colour of wildlife, Wheeler’s prints reflect a deep connection to the natural world. With a background in graphic communications, she balances clarity with warmth, infusing each composition with care and curiosity.’- The Affordable Art Fair

Born in London, Neera’s interest in printmaking began in 2017, taking up a number of screenprinting courses. Printmaking allowed her to explore layering patterns and images, fundamental in her work.

Neera has facilitated blockprint workshops at venues including the V&A, London, Somerset House,  Pitzhanger Manor & Gallery in Ealing, Gunnersbury Museum and The National Trust. Alongside these Neera runs private sessions for smaller groups and printing sessions for corporate events & schools to further spread the accessibility of the craft.

Natasha Hulse is a bespoke fabric artist who specialises in designing three-dimensional appliqué artworks. Each new design draws inspiration from the natural world.

Natasha's artworks stem from painting analysis of individual organic structures and are then developed using layers of fabric that are assembled into works of art. Each piece is hand painted and hand embellished, petal by petal, with luxurious fabric paints, embroidery thread and appliqué fabric combinations and then thoughtfully constructed and sewn together. 

The result is one of a kind artworks full of character and whimsical charm. 

Drawing is what Linzi holds closest to her heart and her sketch books are filled with nature, animals and the human form and surroundings from travels, especially train journeys from all over the world.

Recently Linzi has been exploring ceramics, preferring to hand build vessels, plates and platters as well as whimsical one off pieces that she feels inspired to make.

Linzi likes to use the clays surface - earthenware with a painted slip - as she would a page in a sketchbook, drawing a design often with sgraffito or cobalt painted blue lines from an image in her sketchbook: colourful moments seen on her travels.

Lauri Hopkins lives and and works in Sussex. Her work crosses disciplines but primarily involves painting, collage and the re-assembling of defunct materials. Inspiration is often drawn from mid-century architecture and design, the history of abstract art, objects that have fallen out of use and childhood memories. Lauri has exhibited regularly since completing a BA in Fine Art from The University of Chichester in 2012.  

Mylo loves working with Lauri as the sensitive composition and masterly use of colour that her collages employ compliment all other genres of work, whilst making stand out pieces just by themselves.  An essential for any collection.

Following a career as a creative in the world of advertising, Iona now works full time as an artist from her studio in west london.  committed to abstraction, Iona loves to explore  composition and colour through which she captures movement and mood. Iona paints when she is in her studio in the cotswolds but when in london she creates large scale monoprints, discarding sheet after sheet before hitting upon the perfect and unique version.

Mylo loves Iona's abstract work. not afraid to use dark tones which set other brighter lighter colours free, her work is dynamic.  whilst the surface of her mono prints are clean and smooth, the gestural textures and energy.

Henny Tate is an artist & a gardener. She was raised in a family where life was about nature, wild places and creativity. After university at Edinburgh she spent time travelling before returning to London to work in lifestyle and design. She moved to the Wiltshire countryside with her husband in her early 30’s where she worked as both an interior designer and garden designer alongside bringing up their three children.  Her passion for plants and recording this through art has been consistent throughout and as demand for her work has increased so her dream of making art something that she does full time has come true. 

She has exhibited in Bruton and at Knepp Wilding Estate and is currently working on commissions for private clients at home and a sustainable hotel chain in India. 

Hannah Rollings is a painter, educator, and researcher based in the Surrey Hills. Her work explores our relationship with the natural world, often bridging studio and plein air practice through expressive mark-making and vibrant colour. A practice-led PhD on “picturing trees,” completed through Kingston University in collaboration with the Forestry Commission, marked a turning point in her career—shifting her focus from commercial illustration to immersive, landscape-based work.

She has exhibited widely in the UK and internationally. In 2024, her residency at SeeFood Room Gallery in Hong Kong culminated in a solo exhibition of new works exploring the space between abstraction and representation. In spring 2025, she unveiled a commissioned exhibition with Chartreuse in Paris, featuring a series of botanical paintings inspired by the monastery’s centuries-old herbal knowledge. 

Her paintings invite a sensory connection with nature, moving beyond representation to evoke presence, memory, and place. Hannah’s work is held in private collections across the UK, Europe, Asia, and the US.

Guy Allen is an experimental printmaker, draftsman and talented young British artist.  Working hard from his studio on the North Norfolk coast, Guy’s trademark experimental approach to printmaking presents an exciting mix of colour, gold-leaf and an original, contemporary take on the traditional art of etchings. Studying at Central St Martins from 2008 – 2011 Guy discovered the printing press on a trip to the École Nationale Supérieure Des Beaux-Arts in Paris. Finding an art form that lent itself so perfectly to his artistic aspirations was a revelation.  He has never looked back. Since then Guy has won a number of prices, include the Diana Brooks Prize at the Mall Galleries in 2018.

Laura Brown of Eva Ray Studios, works in oil pastels to capture landscapes and botanical studies, drawing expressively through her mark making. Inspired by her time living and working as an artist in India for 6 years, Laura's work often references these memories from colour palettes to fresco techniques.

The colour story always directs Laura's work with bold abstract forms and then the patterns that emerge through the process.

Laura studied for her BA in Fine Arts at the University of Liverpool and worked as a jewellery designer before returning to painting.

Laura now works from her studio by the sea in Kent.

Born in West Yorkshire and educated at the Royal College of Art in London, Emma Lawrenson is an award winning artist whose work is exhibited in numerous galleries across the UK and Europe, including the Royal Academy, and her work is sold worldwide. Emma works from her studio in the small village of Jackson Bridge near Holmfirth. She was elected an RE in 2024. (Royal Society of Printmakers) 

Each piece of work is hand screen-printed, sometimes in up to 20 colours using traditional techniques. This is a very labour intensive process requiring each colour to be printed individually, left to dry and then the next layer of colour applied. Some of the prints are finished with pencil or conte crayon. Everything from beginning to end is hand drawn, hand cut and hand printed. 

She begins each print by hand-drawing every stencil. The drawings themselves are relatively simple in structure and execution. However, it is the whole process of building up the prints, little by little, layer by layer that fascinates her. 

Emma approaches printmaking as a recording process of ideas, feelings and moments in time; where inspiration is gathered from the changing seasons and fabric of the landscape. She tries to preserve these moments and memories through layering and hand-drawn marks, with interactions of subtle colour. Colour is the poetic language that binds it all together and she works with it intuitively to create ‘quiet’ prints with a feeling of calm. 

Claire lives and works in Norfolk and studied at the Norwich School of Art.  She often uses music as a starting point for many of her paintings and describes herself as a “synaesthete with a particular sense of colour and sound." Her energetic canvasses employ repetitive mark-making with translucent washes of colour. 

Mylo loves hanging Claire's abstract paintings, the balance of colour is demonstrated through playful mark making, there is real energy and light in Oxley's canvases.

Chiara Perano is an English-Italian artist, illustrator, and ceramicist. She creates her pieces on canvas, loose linen, and also paints decorative murals. Her work uses harmonious tones and patterns to express the wonders, shapes and beauty of the natural world. She often uses symbols and feminine figures with loose brush strokes, and is exploring making her own pigments from found objects, as well as acrylic paints and oil pastels. 

Having grown up between England and Italy, her style and colour palette is inspired by childhood memories of slow southern Italy, La Dolce Vita, folklore magic and ancient pottery designs. Chiara is based in St Leonards-on-Sea in East Sussex, and trained at University of the Arts London. She is passionate about finding joy and beauty in the simple imperfect moments of everyday life, good food, and living seasonally in tune with nature. 

Bursting with colour and energy, Elizabeth Power’s paintings exude a warmth and vibrancy. Based in Hastings, UK, Power’s work has a vivid colour palette with a unique style that incorporates themes such as memory, escapism and identity. Her work reflects on personal and collective experiences, inviting viewers to engage with the narratives embedded within her pieces and to escape to the calm and dynamic worlds she creates.

Drawing inspiration from colourists such as Matisse, Hockney, Hilma af Klint, Milton Avery, Tal R, Alex Katz and Lois Dodd, Power’s loose and free abstraction takes this to the next level.

Charlotte Farmer is a screen printer and illustrator with a love of colour and fine detail. She studied at Central Saint Martins, gaining a masters in Communication Design, specialising in illustration. She lives and works in Bath with frequent trips to Bristol for screen printing at Spike Print Studio.

The screen prints she creates often involve collections of things from snowglobes, pottery figures or ice creams, to tropical birds and animals, often bringing together unexpected combinations of objects and characters.

Carrie Lees is a botanical artist drawn to the beauty and fragility of the botanical world, producing simple but structural images to portray the living essence of the plants themselves. 

Carrie trained as a fine art photographer at St. Martins and the Black and White School of Photography with Natasha Bult where she immersed herself in traditional printing techniques, producing exhibition quality work. Her landscape and travel work have featured in many group exhibitions and in various Condé Nast publications.

Carrie subsequently worked as a successful portrait photographer for many years. She developed techniques that focused on the manipulation of natural light to create timeless images and printed using museum quality papers. More recently she has experimented with using these skills and the same traditional methods to create similar “portraits” of plants. She is drawn to the beauty and fragility of the botanical world and aims to produce simple but structural images to portray the living essence of the plants themselves. This can be seen both in her latest photographs and cyanotype prints.

She has also recently studied at The London Fine Art Studio in Lavender Hill and been tutored by Robin Child. This training has helped her explore and experiment with new directions and techniques in her work as an artist.

Caroline Hall had a professional career with the BBC before deciding to follow her heart and study part time for a Masters in Fine Art at Winchester School of Art.  It was a brief stint as a Countryfile presenter that helped fuel her deep love of the landscape and convinced her to become a full time artist.  Caroline has since been recognised with solo ehibitions at Southampton City Art Gallery and Penwith Gallery in St Ives in Cornwall.  Her paintings are informed by notebooks and sketches filled with information about a particular place - the weather, the sounds, the patterns and above all the feel of that space at that time.    

Bruce prefers to leave his creative process open to improvisation and spontaneity, often choosing to deconstruct and morph artworks to make more unexpected or pre-determined outcomes. The fluid nature of this studio process is central to the production of his work, with the process of collage and appropriation informing new outcomes and dialogues. 

His use of plaster as a substitute for paint, concealing various textiles, coloured sand and household materials. This results in a surface of colour and texture, exposing and revealing the work’s layered history. This working approach is further employed in his ongoing exploration of paper, a medium that combines his interest in both drawing and sculpture.

Bruce Ingram (b.1981, Falmouth. UK) lives and works in Hastings, East Sussex. He graduated from the Royal College of Art in 2008. His work has been selected for the Jerwood Drawing Prize; he has also been a finalist in the Dazed/ Converse Emerging Artist Award. Recent exhibitions include Duets Bell House Dulwich Village, London (2018) Broken Pictures No Format Gallery, London (2018). He recently curated  a group exhibition Chrysalis at Wimbledon College of Arts, London  

Becky Blair’s lively and eclectic style, combined with her vivid use of colour and dream-like reflections, has seen her highly-sought-after work sold through exhibitions and private commissions internationally.Her paintings evolve through a complex layering of glazes, textures, drawing and printing. Her compositions are formed from pools of overlapping colour, and the use of negative space, adding and taking away elements to create a surface that has its own history.Known as an artist who sees the beauty in things which may otherwise seem ordinary, she draws inspiration from the everyday, as well as her travels through India, Australia and Europe.

Encouraged by her artist mother, Catherine cultivated an early interest in art, inspired also by forays into more rural territories in the UK and Europe.Her rich and varied studies led her to an apprenticeship at the Sterling Studios, London: a specialist decorator’s workshop – where she explored working with materials – from metals to mirrors, glitter to gold leaf.These experiences, combined with an interest in colour, composition and history and origins of design, have led Cazalet to develop a unique style. While her classical training underpins Cazalet’s creative investigations, she longs for the abstract – and these dialogues are evident in her often vibrant and geometric work.

Ann Farley's work is always made in response to an event, a happening, a moment in her life, whether it be internal, external, place related, or about something she has read or seen. Like a visual journal, she works either directly from life or from her imagination and often one becomes the other.

Ann’s pieces are sought after and collected internationally. She has exhibited widely and won several award and prizes including the Dorothy Fielding Prize for Anatomy, the Edward Fawcett Memorial Prize for Anatomy, a Distinction in Anatomy at 2nd MB CHB and the Anatomy Illustration Prize.

Alan Cameron (b. 1987) is a printmaker who lives and works, surrounded by trees, in Dumfries and Galloway. He graduated from the Glasgow School of Art in 2010 and went straight from there to work in the Glasgow Print Studio. After moving to Galloway, and without the use of a printing press, his practice took on a new direction, reflecting the landscape around him by using the physical imprint of the environment.

Working primarily with local found and reclaimed timber, the print surface is created by planing, sanding and then torching the cross section of the wood. This burns the softer rings of spring growth at a faster rate than the harder winter growth, leaving the textured print surface. The paper is then laid directly onto the surface and using a series of tools, I work the paper into the grain to lift the ink. Alan's print process draws on historic techniques, and also delves into the history of the wood itself, using each year of its development as part of his mark making. 

Lizbeth was born in Australia and grew up in England. From an artistic family she has painted as long as she can remember.  Living in Mallorca, Spain, where she received formal training and Cape Town, South Africa, her work was a direct response to people she met, landscape she lived within and objects which caught her imagination. She has illustrated children’s books, worked for fine art publishers and has exhibited widely. Now living in Spain, she has returned to painting full time with relish and an energy that is her distinctive trait. 

Mylo loves the originality of Lizbeth's work. She attacks each painting with enthusiasm and vigour and her paintings, often on a large scale, are joyful to be around.

Beatrice was born in France; she spent her early years there and in Catalonia. As a child she raised money for wildlife conservation by making papier-mâché animals, which she sold in local markets. As the elephants, the rhinos, the butterflies and birds, which are a part of so many children’s imaginations, and many others of which we know so little vanish, so Beatrice wished to record them.

She studied illustration at Falmouth College of Art, specialising in dry-point engraving in the last year of her degree. She has since exhibited regularly throughout the UK and her work is part of the permanent collection in CCI’s home, the David Attenborough Building.

Beatrice spent the last three years writing and illustrating The Book of Vanishing Species. "The Book is both a love letter to life on Earth, and an urgent summons to protect what is precious in this world." - Bloomsbury Publishing
