SIMON POOLEY’s
love of drawing is evident in this collection of his acrylic paintings.
Subjects are drawn from memories of travels in hot countries as
much as by his local landscape of West Penwith. Simons paintings are floated on a white background surrounded by white square moulding, Distance from image (which is the size given) to outer edge of frame is about 4”. Prices on request. |

One of Britain’s finest ceramic artists, JOHN MALTBY continues to enthrall, amuse and surprise us with his insightful interpretation of the human condition. Impressive larger pieces in this collection are semi-abstract heads, often with a bird perched on top. | ||||||||

 Rose Hilton paintings and Catriona McLeod ceramics |
ROSE HILTON has an
unerring ability to hold transient moments in her oil paintings,
whether a model’s fleeting expression in her studio, or a
cloud’s sudden descent on a sunny landscape. Her use of colour is quite unique; marvellous juxtapositions of hues in abstracts, landscapes and figure studies alike. Undoubtedly this is affected by the light at the edge of Cornwall where she lives and paints. Sizes given are for the image alone. Frames are between 3” and 4” deep. Prices on request. |

CATRIONA
McLEOD works with passion, creating individual bowls and tall vessels
in singing colours or deep lustrous earthy tones. Each pot is handbuilt
and fired by the raku method.

DUIBHNE GOUGH’s
jewellery is distinctive in design and softly feminine in appeal.
She combines rare and unusual precious and semi-precious stones with
18ct gold and silver in necklaces and earrings.

BARRY MASON’s
pair of Eclipses out in the garden are turned from green oak which
is then fumed, soaked in linseed oil and waxed. These elegant sculptures
are available singly or as a pair. |

MARY
ORROM uses a variety of materials for her outdoor sculpture. Most
of her stylised figures are moulded in clay and fired to stoneware
temperatures. Some others are constructed from wire and galvanized
chicken wire, and inside the gallery are smaller pieces – maquettes
for the larger work, made in terracotta which is then smoked and
burnished. |
