Anne Byrne
Anne Byrne is a practicing artist working predominantly in an expressionist tradition. Her work is celebrated for her expressive painterly approach. Anne’s primary medium is oil paint but she also uses mixed media to explore new territories and ways of visual communication. She is constantly exploring ways of seeing and recording that combine the discipline of ‘careful observation’ with the use of mark-making as an expressive form.
Janine Pinion
Janine Pinion was born in Belfast in 1959 and studied Fine Art in Liverpool. Wirral has been her home since 1997. She specialises in watercolour, creating semi-abstract landscapes from sketches around the coast.
Michelle Anderson
Michelle is a figurative artist, born in Pembrokeshire and now living in Shropshire. She works initially from observation and uses this gathered information to further her ideas for her paintings. Working primarily in oil, she takes inspiration largely from her surroundings, the Shropshire landscape and the Northumberland coast, which she visits regularly. Her subjects are also drawn from her eclectic sketchbooks which are a prominent source of material in her process.
Ali Tomlin
Ali’s work is a collection of thrown, elegant porcelain forms. She uses a limited palette of stains, oxides and slips, sponging and scraping colours and inlaying lines, working on the wheel to capture a feeling of movement and spontaneity. Surfaces are unglazed and lightly sanded, with a matt, tactile surface.
