Heather has her own individual approach to watercolour. She often achieves a depth with several painted layers of intense colour. Some paintings have a dark brooding quality. These however produce a sharp contrast to her other work which is lively and spontaneous, having a freshness more often associated with this medium. She has exhibited nationally, including the Royal Watercolour Society, the Scottish Watercolour Society and The Sunday Times Watercolour Competition

Ron works in a variety of styles. Most of his carvings are of British birds, although he occasionally carves other animals. He uses several techniques including pyrography, painting and waxed finishes with fine detail. Carvings are produced in a variety of sizes and some composite groups. Ron is often invited to carve commissions and welcomes any enquiries.

‘My work reflects an intuitive involvement with imagery and ideas that are influenced by sense of place, memory and experience’ - Rachel works with a wide range of drawing, painting and printmaking media, within her work to create imagery which is both subtle and mysterious.

They are honest studies, where flattery and outward beauty are sometimes sacrificed for self reflection and meticulous detail. Catherine has exhibited widely, including the BP Portrait Show 2001 and 2002, and has won many awards. Her work is collected nationally and internationally, and featured in Sky Portrait Artist of the year 2014.
