Samantha is a self taught artist. She loves mother nature, the sun flickering on the ocean, the sun touching the leaves creating beautiful shadows and vibrant colours; she senses the energy and power. It’s so beautiful and she feels a need to transfer it to the canvas.

We are so excited to see the vibrancy and texture in her work!

Zoë currently paints in her home studio overlooking the Leicestershire countryside and also regularly visits the Cornish coast for inspiration.

Her current works are responses to the season and the memories each place conjures up and the feelings they leave her with.

She uses acrylic and oils on wood panels and canvas. She likes to make the surface of her paintings almost edible and her process is a physical one; using music in the studio to dance with the energetic base layers experiencing the freedom and sitting still and calm for the focussed top layers, warmly enjoying the craft.

She paints intuitively, choosing and mixing colours as she goes.

Lucy is a Leicestershire-based artist and sculptor who thrives on the variety and creativity that commissioned work brings. Whether it's a set of quirky bookends, a personalised house name plaque, a heartfelt portrait (of people or pets!), a vibrant wall mural, or a playful caricature, Lucy pours care and character into every piece she creates. No two projects are the same—and that’s exactly how she likes it.

Born in 1989 and raised in the peaceful countryside of Rutland, Lucy has been drawing since before she could even write. That early passion for art led her to study Fine Art at Loughborough University, where she refined her creative skills and deepened her understanding of artistic expression.

Lucy works across a wide range of mediums including clay, pencil, glass, textiles, watercolours, coloured pencil and charcoal. Her favourites? Clay and pencil—perfect for capturing personality, detail, and form.

Whether you're looking for a deeply personal gift or something completely one-of-a-kind for your space, Lucy is committed to creating artwork that is both meaningful and beautifully made.

Trish is based in rural Leicestershire and has been painting for many years. She is heavily influenced by nature, and spends alot of time in amongst the local landscape, observing and finding inspiration.

She isn't glued to any one medium or style, and loves to experiment. It depends on the painting she is doing as to which medium she will use. That's what makes her work so fabulous!

Joy is a mixed media artist living in Leicestershire.

She has always been fascinated by the tactile qualities in the surface and texture of handmade paper and is drawn to its imperfections and fragility.

Fossils and ancient artefacts have always been an endless source of inspiration and that inspires her to try and give many of her works an appearance reminiscent of archaeological finds.

Her use of delicate papers and vintage items to create a sense of times past is incredible and we know you'll be wowed by her work!

Lois is a multi-media artist, specialising in fine pen drawings and highly colourful watercolour paintings. Her artwork is focused around the female form and varying elements in nature. By creating an atmosphere with light and dark in her drawings, she speaks through the shadows of her pen marks. She then contrasts this with a rainbow of watercolour in her paintings of flora, fauna, landscapes and seascapes, reminding us of the world that surrounds us.

Gregg is a Leicestershire based artist who loves to create bold and expressive work that reflects his love of colour, shape, and texture. His paintings are often inspired by nature and the world around him, with each piece he tries to bring a fresh perspective and a strong sense of mood.

Working mainly in acrylics allows him the freedom to experiment and layer, it gives his work depth and energy. Whether it be abstract or more figurative, he feels his paintings are full of character and creative spirit.

Every artist draws inspiration from different sources—and for Leicestershire-based artist, Dawn, it’s animals that spark her creativity. Their energy, personality, and the subtle, expressive moments they share with us are at the heart of her beautiful work.

Artists throughout history have explored the powerful connection between humans and animals—particularly the deep bond between dogs and their owners. From the classic works of Hogarth and Reynolds to the more contemporary approaches of Jeff Koons and Jordan Baseman, this relationship continues to provide huge sources of inspiration. For Dawn, it’s a personal and enduring fascination.

Dogs have always been Dawn’s greatest love. It is their humour, affection, and emotional depth that make them endlessly captivating subjects. Simply being around them—their movement, behaviour, and presence—naturally draws Dawn to paint and sculpt them.

In recent years, Dawn’s artistic focus has expanded to include a wide range of animals, from domestic pets to wild creatures, each offering something new to explore in form, emotion, and character.

She primarily works in oils, pastels, and acrylics, choosing each medium to suit the subject and mood of the piece.

Dawn has exhibited widely across the UK and inte

rnationally, with her paintings now held in private collections around the world.

After a career working in Graphic Design abroad, Nigel has resettled in Leicester working as an artist. And a fabulous one he is, too.

His artworks, he considers, are 'meditations on nature, spirit and memory capturing moments of mood in an ever changing environment'.

There's nothing we love more than a picture that sends us into a state of calm!

Hayley’s mixed media artworks are usually an expression of an emotional experience.  Sometimes she paints with a specific subject or memory in mind.  Other times, she paints more intuitively, enjoying mixing colour and making marks until she sees an image or story appear that expresses something that is of personal significance.  She hopes that the resulting images tap into memories and significant experiences for the viewer too, in the same way that a smell or a piece of music can transport you to other times and places.

Hayley accepts commissions and also enjoys guiding others in their creative expression, both as a creative mentor through the charity The Mighty Creatives and through private art parties and commissioned workshops.

Over the last two decades Stuart has developed both the in-camera technique and art of photography that allow him to achieve his interpretation.

There is so much drama and beauty in the work that he produces, and we have no doubt that when you visit, you will feel the same way, too!
