MARK HEARLD

Versatile and masterly in whatever medium he chooses, MARK HEARLD has delighted his followers since his M.A. degree at the R.C.A. with a variety of work from collages to stage-sets – and now he is painting in oils as well. (This selection will be increased as Mark’s work is received)

ROBINA JACK

A combination of pattern and simplified motifs of animals and birds decorate ROBINA JACK’s dishes and platters.  Her painting style hints at her fascination with marine folk art and her bubbly sense of humour  ~ attractive elements which contribute to the popularity of her work.

ALEX MALCOLMSON

Growing up on the Shetlands, ALEX MALCOLMSON absorbed the seafaring folklore of his forbears.  Coupled with a Fine Art degree at Edinburgh University, this heritage inspired his carvings of fish and sea-birds as well as the unusual ‘boxworks’ he constructs. These tableaux reflecting aspects of life at sea often have opening doors to reveal the mysteries within.

EMILY SUTTON

EMILY SUTTON, now well known for her distinctive illustrative work, shows a varied collection including perfectly observed soft sculpted song-birds in painted fabric decorated with embroidery.  For her paintings and lithographs she interprets the minutiae of daily life in a graphic style somewhat akin to Ravilious, one of the mid-20th century artist-designers she admires.

Books illustrated by Emily, including ‘Clara Button’ and her new ‘The Christmas Eve Tree’ will be on sale during the exhibition.

VICKI WALTON

After her B.A. at Brighton College of Art, VICKI WALTON worked with the descendants of the Bloomsbury group of artists to restore the house and garden of Charleston.  She became its first Curator as well as making her own pots for the gallery there.  Vicki moved to France several years ago where she established a new Pottery. Her decoration and colour palette still reflect nuances of the Charleston tradition.

TESSA NEWCOMB

TESSA NEWCOMB, an East Anglian artist, enjoys depicting human and animal foibles in daily life.  In her oil paintings of gardens, allotments, harvest festivals and dog shows, she creates an unwritten narrative for the onlooker to muse over. Tessa has a solo show at London’s Crane Kalman gallery concurrently with ‘Autumn Feast’.

GUY ROYLE

A new departure for well-known jeweller GUY ROYLE is a recent collection of small sculptures in bronze and brass.  Based on female figures in mythology and ancient history, these stylised sculptures are incised, etched, and decorated in the inimitable manner of his gold and silver jewellery, bringing to mind Celtic and Egyptian artefacts.

In this latest collection of jewellery, GUY ROYLE has carved silver, gold, gem stones and pebbles to create necklaces bold in scale and presence and well as long, delicate ones with carnelian, green aventurine and amethyst nestling between the links.  His bangles and brooches are highlighted with 18ct gold, and the earrings in gold and silver are even more eye-catching than ever!
