Jennie Barrie Painter
Landscapes and seascapes in oil paints on canvas. I think that
any work of art is the result of two main processes. First is the
artist's relationship with their medium - exciting, frustrating, often
private and constantly developing. Second is something inside
that needs to share what we experience. I try to share what I
feel when nature shows me something that lifts my heart.

Ben Dearnley Sculpture - Quest for the inner spirit
Ben’s works are an exploration of the figure. Whether human
or equine, the narrative he creates fuses techniques of the
sculpture masters of the past with the best natural materials
while using a contemporary approach. He draws the viewer
into a personal dialogue with the sculpture by bringing out the
spirit of the figure within, reflecting the inner truth of the stone.
