I was a local district nurse for many years,following retirement, I obtained a degree in ceramic and glass .I have enjoyed making many animals & figures sinces. My claim to fame is that during lockdown I appeared on BBC1 show
" Home is where the art is" series 2 episode 11. The commission was for a personalised piece of the person and all the things she likes in her life. Find out more at my website: www.ceramicandglass.co.uk

‘My ethos is fluid, open and colourful. Water flows, so does my abstract art. I am inspired by our amazing ocean, river and coastal landscapes, a quality-loving creative mother and a mathematical engineering fun father. Cornish raised, state-degree-educated, global business wise and South West London living fuse to celebrate my creativity. Painting for me is very freeing, momentary and healthy. Once a piece is finished, I remember a curious happiness from a time well spent.
I often pour water based paints, preferring acrylics for their range of consistency. Gestural brush marks create movement with more solid shapes adding a depth and floating sensation inspired by nature. I like to use companies with a sustainability focus such as St Cuthberts paper mill in Somerset or Fabriano paper mill in Italy. I have a reuse/recycle policy.
Enjoy’.

I’ve only just begun my journey in printmaking. For a good part of my life I didn’t allow myself to ‘create’. I would spend my time wasting time. Now I’m taking the STEPS necessary to live the best life I can live. Take it easy, but take it! I’m from New York City, but have been living in ‘ManhActon’ for almost twenty years.
Learning in my thirties that I'm autistic has resulted in a journey of reflection, re-evaluation and self love. I paint those who identify as women and non-binary in order to improve compassion towards my internal & external self, relearning a lifetime of neurotypical conditioning and the effects of capitalism on the way I view myself, and to see bodies as the work of art they are.
I create mixed media pieces, primarily using acrylics, and simple materials such as gel wax pens and oil pastels.
I am a retired educator who has taught painting and photography in Ealing schools for over forty years. During that time I never stopped producing my own photographic work. Since retiring I have increased my photographic output, self-published several books of my photographs and also exhibited, most recently in the current Royal Academy of Arts Summer Exhibition.
Stik started painting unofficial, socially conscious murals in his hometown of Hackney, East London in 2001. His simple stick figures wordlessly tell the story of his community and he frequently collaborates with hospitals, charities and homeless organisations. Working from his East London studio, these projects are largely self-funded and he now creates monumental artworks with communities across the world.
