Sandra Lamb

http://www.sandralamb.art

I work in many mediums but most often acrylics and oils. I like to portray the figure and more specifically, character, emotion and nuances of the spirit. I try to blend my love of illustration and narrative with the openness and ambiguity of abstraction.

Sharon Lennox

Scratchboard art is a subtractive technique to create an image, it's like drawing in reverse. After scratching the desired image, is when to start adding colour. Applying ink washes, layering colour with scratches, 5-20 layers, this creates depth in a painting

I am a mixed-media artist working with acrylic paints and painted paper collage. My process begins with a colourful acrylic under-layer, followed by hand-painted papers, often created with a gelli plate, which are torn and layered onto the canvas.

Shirley White

http://ShirleyMWhiteDesigns.bigcartel.com

My paintings are primarily alcohol ink on synthetic paper, canvas, and other substrates. I use an air source to manipulate the ink creating vibrant, flowing movement then finish off with brushes. At times I incorporate other media such as acrylic ink and mica.

Peggy Logan

The jewellery I make is a combination of sterling silver, gold, semi precious stones, pearls and enamels. My work is not limited to jewellery as enamelling is an expressive medium. As a result I create one of a kind wall hangings to compliment my jewellery.
