A deep love of the natural world as a child led MARK HEARLD to study first at Glasgow College of Art, followed by an MA in Natural History Illustration at the Royal College of Art in the late ‘90s. Ever inventive in whatever medium he chooses to work in (viz. his recent ‘WORKBOOK’,on sale at the gallery), Mark generally selects earth’s creatures as his subject. His energetic style gives an inner vitality to his work and invites us to share his joy in nature. This is a selection of his paintings, collages and original prints in the exhibition |

Plants and seeds are ANGIE LEWIN’s focus in her lithographs, wood engravings, silkscreen prints and lino-cuts. Immersing herself in the landscape of both Scotland and East Anglia, she translates through delicate line and colour seasonal changes in closely observed patches of terrain. Angie has risen rapidly to national acclaim for her work these past few years.

ALEX MALCOLMSON is a Shetlander whose woodcarvings and constructions are all inspired by the sea and the birds that frequent our shores. His bird sculptures, made from slatted wood and drawing on the tradition of decoy carving, combine the idea of bird and boat. Featured in several publications extolling his craft, Alex has exhibited in the Scottish Gallery, Yorkshire Sculpture Park, Bircham Gallery and Godfrey & Watt, among others.

ANNA LAMBERT’s ceramic work has changed direction since she completed an MA course last year. Rather than coiled and pinched pieces, often intricate in construction, she now mainly slab builds her candlesticks and lidded jars, albeit incorporating some modelling. For this exhibition she has been making fine-bodied bowls with etched and painted surfaces inspired by the birches and becks of her immediate locality in Yorkshire.

Simplicity is the key to the hand-built clay shapes of JILL FANSHAWE KATO’s new bowls and vases - giving scope for her painterly decoration of stylised flowers and birds. She continues to show successfully in Japan where her work is regarded as highly as it is in Britain.

GUY ROYLE is a nationally exhibiting jeweller working in silver, gold, semi-precious stones and sea pebbles. His craftsmanship as a jeweller is paramount. He carves many of the stones for necklaces and earrings himself; uses a repoussé technique for silver bangles, etches and engraves the gold and silver in his brooches and is innovative in his designs

DUIBHNE GOUGH’s flair for combining unusual semi-precious stones with silver in necklaces and earrings gives her jewellery a distinctive character which is ever seductive in its desirability! Originally apprenticed to her father, Breon O’Casey, Duibhne has long since achieved recognition and success as a designer-jeweller in her own right.
