"Very clever and beautiful." BBC News "Blurring the boundaries of painting and sculpture." The Guardian "Teather's works frequently wrenches us back and forth through time and style; As we are shifted between romanticism and classicism we are left entranced, entertained and certainly captivated by the uncertainties." Neil Powell, Academic/ Curator

Further to acquiring my Foundation Degree at Stroud College I became a professional artist following my selection to take part in "StartARt" in the Saatchi Gallery, London in 2017. I regularly exhibit my work at Art Fairs, Events and Exhibitions throughout the UK, up to 25 times per year; my work is now included in Private collections including Australia, Belgium, France, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, Sweden, Switzerland, UK and the USA.

The work expresses feelings and memories of places rather than purely visual appearances. Through plein air drawings and then the physicality of the paint an image emerges creating a certain ambiguity for the viewer to interpret. After a career of secondary school art teaching Val enjoyed returning to college to complete an MA in Fine Art and now devotes her time to further developing her own art practice. The River Stour and Water Meadows are a constant source of inspiration as well as travels further afield to Cornwall, Scotland, Northumberland France and Australia. Peter Lanyon, Joan Eardley, Hockney and Van Gogh are amongst her many influences

I'm from Norfolk, studied art / illustration at Norwich and Humberside in the 90's. I discovered 'rolling ball sculpture' as niche form of art 15 yrs ago, and have since taught myself to weld and build my own machines. Since then, I've built pieces for private commissions, museum display, and for medical demonstration purposes. The machines must 'evolve' through continued testing during the construction, giving me (and hopefully the onlooker) a tangible antidote to the digital world we are required to live in.

I make ink drawings. I also love to explore different ways to portray my sketchy lines using linocuts and monoprinting. Recently with printmaking, I have been enjoying making blocks which are suggestive of book illustrations, but also the more painterly medium of monoprints, the immediacy of the lines created similar to the energy of my ink drawings. As someone who regularly attends life drawing, this results in a balance of work which is often illustrative in nature but occasionally work based on the female figure informed life experiences. Rachel Collier-Wilson been a practicing artist since gaining a BA Fine Art in 1990 from Central Saint Martins School of Art. Rachel creates an emotional response to her surroundings, particularly in nature, highlighting the richness of our natural environment and adding a suggestive narrative. Having always drawn, Rachel is an avid life drawer, sometimes brings in images of the female form into her work. Rachel also continues with her printmaking practice, exploring different ways to portray her sketchy line.

Originally from Rochester in Kent, I now live in the Suffolk village of Ixworth. I have always drawn (I have worked in engineering design for 30 or so years) but after a serious illness in 2012 I decided to put more effort into creative drawing. The work of American realist artist Edward Hopper is a major influence, as is Film Noir. I have exhibited at the RA Summer Exhibition (2015), won the 'President's Award' at the UK Coloured Pencil Society Open Exhibition (2017), and 'Best In Show' (Colour) at the Society of Graphic Fine Art Open Exhibition (2019).

Contemporary mixed media artist working from studio in Suffolk interpreting the the landscape that I visit or have visited,

A figure and portrait artist, my paintings concentrate on women and are a commentary on the weight of expectations placed on the female sex. With a particular focus on the physical body and the scrutiny to which is it commonly subjected, my paintings explore what society expects of a woman, the ways in which her physical shape is often considered to define her, and the impact that this has on her life and sense of self.

Working in oils I build my subject with thin layers, shade over shade, colour over colour. I aim to keep each layer barely perceptible, each one contributing to the whole in ways that can’t always be seen. Colour is crucial as I seek to highlight pigments in the skin that can often go unnoticed, emphasising and sometimes exaggerating them in order that I might accentuate their beauty.

Contemporary paintings in acrylic, watercolour or mixed media Excited by colour and texture I specialize in painting negatively. This a technique which enables jewel-like transparent colours to shine out of my work, it also forces me to paint in an abstracted style. Adopting this approach has stopped me from being too detailed and has given my work much more life and vibrancy. Whilst I carefully plan my subject, colours, and composition, the magic only happens in the final stages when I add in the opaque lights and the painting emerges from the background.

Ellis King is a Norwich based artist specialising in contemporary figurative art. Born in 1989, King’s work explores the individual and collective experience of being a woman in the 21st century. Portraits are often infused with bold and alarming strokes of colour which represent the juxtaposition of the lived experience as a woman with the gendered patriarchal narrative. Her work intends to protest the inequalities society continues to construct for women.

Claire Oxley's work is distinctive because of the intensity of colour palette, and rhythmic surrounding landscapes, influenced by her experience of synaesthesia

In her emotive paintings, Bella Bigsby combines tangible elements of the world around her with an imagined nature. She draws on her memories of home, feelings for landscape and a love of myth and fairytale. Animals and birds that have a rich folkloric tradition are particularly intriguing to her as they are infused with layers of human history as well as their own unknowable narratives. For Bella, nature is a separate yet parallel world. She is most interested in the quiet presence of this world, where it touches our everyday one. Familiar birds and trees are to her endlessly rich in beauty and meaning. Having lived and worked in Oakland, California for many years, Bella recently relocated back to her native home of Norfolk, England.

Louise Stebbing Louise is a traditional printmaker working in mostly etchings & linocuts. She has just had a major Retrospective - 40 Years of Printmaking in Cambridge. She has exhibited extensively and won several prizes for her work. Susan Lynda Taylor I love colour and texture. I love the beauty of nature and believe colours affect our feelings and mood and has the ability to lift us. When I paint I want to create beauty. I want to look and not just glance but to be able to go back and look again and again and see new things and beauty that I had not noticed before. It is beyond explanation the love which I feel and put into my work and the joy I feel when someone takes one of my paintings home with them because they love it too.

Waveney Valley artists Paul and Ally Zawadzki work on the principal of embracing the happy accident; and often share resources – ideas and matter from one piece can kick-start another. Both work in a tactile manner, with Ally destroying initial cement and fabric pieces, transforming them into final artwork, and Paul incorporating oils, unprimed canvas, rusted steel, poured varnish and even detritus from the studio floor. Spontaneous use of recycled and ‘found’ objects also forms part of their practice, which is primarily about the unpredictability of the natural world, looking beneath the surface of the landscape that surrounds us and raising questions about preconceptions and tactile experience.

Shelley has spent many years refining her practice to create still lifes based in the tradition of the genre, but very much for today’s walls.
