Ellie Taylor
Ellie is a textile artist influenced by the Romantic, recording movement in line, stitch and sculpture. She incorporates found objects, writing, and unfired clay. Her delicate abstract work combines serene palettes and negative space, imparting a feeling of calm
A C Telfer
A.C Telfer's evocative and atmospheric paintings use colour and texture to convey mood and movement, describing moments and experiences whilst travelling through the landscape.
Bridget March
Bridget has an individual approach to themes of nature, a sense of place, joy, and eternity. Her work is alive with an energetic use of colour and pattern, weaving narratives of the seasons, the forces of nature, our beginnings, and the places where we live.
Cum-bye Arts
Bev explores watercolour to interpret northern upland landscapes, continually re-evaluating and challenging pigments to perform and settle expressively into their own space. Produced as mixed media originals and as cards.
Harbour Art Glass
Josh is a kiln-formed glass artist who specialises in vitrigraph murrine - a traditional Italian technique reinterpreted through contemporary processes. Blending precision with experimentation, his work explores the relationships between light, pattern, and form.
Jane Carlisle Bellerby
Artist specialising in silk, mixed media and found object artworks with a focus on the concepts of Biophilia and green exercise.
Lesley Woodhouse
Lesley creates animal and plant artworks using a variety of media including colour and graphite pencils, ink and scraperboard to produce detailed images with depth, form and colour. She is inspired by the Yorkshire Dales and her travels.
Luke Thompson
Luke is a representational oil painter with a romantic vision. He uses atmospheric and loose paint application to reinvent nature upon the canvas.
