Meet the Artists

I am a relief printmaker, recently returned to Northamptonshire after living abroad for 8 years. My work approaches topics of identity, personal history and memories, and I find inspiration in old belongings, found objects and listening to peoples' stories. My love for printmaking was born out of my time living in Mexico, where I learnt most of what I know regarding the technique and its' various applications. The images included here are from a series of prints, collectively titled 'The Debris of Miss Irene', where I reworked some old photographs I bought in what we would describe as a flea market, in a southern district of Mexico City.

I am able to provide "graphic migration" relief printing workshops (easily transportable and without the necessity of a printing press), and my work is also available for sale. If you would like to inquire about the workshops I can provide, the work I have on offer, commissions or anything else of interest, please feel free to contact me via my email address (amyvikw@gmail.com) or through my social media (Instagram) account.

I mostly do small pen and ink illustrations, and have recently focused on animals drawing a different animal each day for 100 consecutive days. I draw anything and everything normally from landscapes and buildings to people and pets. My style varies a lot between graphic and realistic.

I am a landscape artist living and working in the county of Northamptonshire in the heart of the English countryside. My work is mostly in oil paint, but I also work in watercolour, acrylic and pastel. I have sold work internationally and also accept commissions.

Drawing on the work of my favourite masters and inspired by the varied land and coast of the United Kingdom, my images are a mix of Impressionist and Tonalist styles.

A keen mountain explorer I also paint "en plein air" locally to my home and in the Peak District and Lake District, as well as the Welsh Hills and the Scottish Highlands
A full member of the Northampton Town & County Art Society, I am also a member of the Northampton based Network Arts Group and the Rugby & District Art Society.
I provided the illustrations for a book on Wainwrights 'Pennine Journey' - edited by David Pitt, with maps by Ron Scholes, published by Francis Lincoln June 2010 and I featured in 'Inside out - Cumbria & the North West' - BBC TV. Now available by the same team is a similar volume on the Howgills Fells published by Lincoln Press in 2013.
I am currently working with Ron Scholes on a further Wainwright book publication due 2018

Now based in Corby, I grew living in the shadow of Pendle Hill which inspired my early love of myths and legends. This inspired me to paint mythology and folklore from both the United Kingdom and from further afield. Taught to paint in acrylics at a young age, I have recently diversified into digital artworks, an am enjoying the challenge of learning a new medium.

The more untraditional the subject matter, the better – I love painting obscure mythology because of the lack of references. Whilst my original paintings are on canvas and finished with metallic paint to bring life to the subject, I wanted to make my work more accessible. This inspired my unusual approach to limited edition prints - there will only ever be 200 prints of a painting regardless of what sizes the prints are. This means that more people can enjoy fine art prints in their own homes.

I am a Northamptonshire based photographer, with a main interest / specialty in all things aviation.
This includes military and civilian aviation, both on the ground and in the air.

I mainly use acrylic paint but also like to use soft pastel, charcoal and watercolour pencil to create realistic wildlife and animal art. I use stretched canvas or art paper and offer art prints on some of my artwork.
On some of my bigger paintings I like to apply a colourful background to give it a modern feel and stand out.

My Artistic vision historically to JMW Turner by loose expressive brush strokes and the diverse use of colour and light. Some of my recent paintings are abstract expressionism and some are semiabstract works relating to found objects within the landscape and the historical layering revealing histories they evoke,I continue to research relevant artists to evoke new works and findings

My visual attractions are both people and the outdoors. Whether that be separate within my work or together. I began as a portrait painter and have always used this subject in my practice. My work on nature has come from a want to bring the outside in. These two fuel my need to create visual art being it drawing, painting, print making or mixed media. 
I love giving everyday people of all ages an opportunity to be creative. Creativity helps you see things differently and makes life infinitely more interesting and fulfilling.

The main medium which I work in is watercolour, but I also sometimes work in graphite. I have mostly experienced in portraits, but my current focus and interest is creating paintings of seascapes and landscapes.

I am completely self taught, and started drawing in 2017. Since then I have fine tuned my skills to specialising in both pets and endangered species. I aim to create realistic artworks in either pastel, coloured pencil or charcoal.
Using the proceeds from sales, I work with conservation organisations to raise funds and awareness for the protection of wild species.

Kathrino studied her Art and Design Foundation degree at DMU in 2017. Her intention in doing this additional study was to try out various art practices, to help to decide what degree she wanted to go on to study. Kathrino then went on to focus on photography and video, to drive a narrative - which ignited a passion to tell stories through a digital format.
She then went on to study Animation at DMU in 2018, which provided her with the key skills of storytelling through 2D and 3D animation. She learned how to generate narrative-driven ideas, and took those ideas through the whole production process to the final animation.
After University she went on to work at the indie animation studio, Kino Bino Limited in 2022 - initially starting as an Animation Assistant and later being promoted to Animation Designer within a year. In the studio, she demonstrated how to work as a valued team member, managed her projects, assisted the producer with scheduling/budgets, worked to tight deadlines, and took the creative lead on projects for clients such as: the BBC and NHS, while using/developing the skills learned during her Animation degree. Kino Bino taught Kathrino the skills of animation to then be able to work efficiently within budget constraints, while consistently creating work of which she remains proud.

My desire as a visual artist is to create images that evoke meaning and stimulate a response that allows the viewer to ponder their own existence and the origin and sustaining force behind all that exists, to reflect on our actions and how it impact nature and people around us. However I do believe as an artist I should be able to cover any subject matter and so I accepted commissions, whether its portraits, landscape or any painting or drawing tailored to your specification. My style or painting or drawing is realism and representational.

Reality: Is the world the way we think it is? In what ways might our version of reality be distorted? Does it matter? Is there Absolute Truth? Can the Truth ever be fully known?
Perception: Reflections and refractions play with our perception, as does our inclination to see patterns in the random. In what sense is what I’m seeing ‘real’?
Our natural instinct is to make sense of the world and our place in it. Towards that end, my work explores the tension between reality and perception, to create spaces where we can make up our own narrative in complete safety.

Born in Kent in1948, I've always had the creative impulse to express myself via the arts, mainly influenced by artists from the postwar period, but admire the greats, Rembrandt, Velasquez, Vermeer, Van Gogh. Those that made breakthroughs, Duchamp, Pollock, Warhol, the post war St.Ives artists...
In recent times I've been experimenting with pastel on canvas to make abstract and figurative work, casting, playing with found objects to make 3D works. These works are responses to music, history, and life in general, but not always in that order. In recent years I've been venturing deeper into making music, my own style being a kind of 21st Century Blues infused with beats, noise, and sound effects, using guitars, synthesisers, samplers, and the spoken word. His musical collaborations include, “The Mighty Pandl”, “The Slackstring Band”. I usually publish my music on my YouTube Channel with visuals

Commissions for hotels, cafes, offices most welcome. I mainly use acrylic on canvas.

I am a versatile artist of landscapes and village scenes, and have sold many works over the years. I also take commissions to paint specific landscapes for clients own requirements. Country folk, sheep, cattle and horses often feature in my works. I lived in Crete and France for a few years and painted the local vineyards and countryside, where I exhibited in Cordes sur Ciel, in France. My works are available as originals or giclee prints, which can be supplied in mounts, framed or unframed. I am also a retired carpenter and enjoy working with wood. I produce frames, and canvasses from simple to bespoke in a variety of sizes and formats. I have enjoyed helping aspiring painters working on location, individually or small group basis in the Spring and Summer months.

I produce my own collection or original oils as well as develop creative skills for business and leisure. I run on-line and in person beginners oil painting workshops. I believe everybody can be creative, my workshops are about enjoy yourself and learning a new skill

I produce illustrations of pets and caricatures of people , sketching and painting with Photoshop. I also perform live caricatures as entertainment for corporate and social events.

Vicci Lee produces beautiful landscapes and detailed botanical oil paintings that are inspired by how nature and the local environment impact our mental health.
She grew up in a small village in Northamptonshire in the 80's. Often found walking the bridleways, making dens with friends on the edge of farmers fields, biking and walking this distinctive area. She developed a connection with the countryside and a passion for the outdoors.
Vicci enjoys sharing her artistic relationship with nature with the primary school children she works with. They all know if a worm needs rescuing, or are unsure of the name of a plant, they can depend on her for extensive knowledge. She understands that inspiring and educating the next generation to care for wildlife is an essential part of their education and well being. And in turn they inspire her work, getting her to rediscover that initial excitement of conker picking, daisy chains and the mini world at our feet.
Vicci has been exhibiting locally since 2016 as part of the Artist Trail in Northampton town centre and exhibited at Art in the Park every year since. She sells online internationally and locally.
