Connor RobertsonI enjoy painting large scale, I feel it gives room for chance and for accidents to occur during the painting process. These accidents can allow a painting to achieve a new dialogue that can go beyond representation.
Tanis Gordon SmithMy work has no specific theme. I paint what I feel and therefore can not be held to any particular style. Freedom. The people who view and perhaps buy my work create me and without them as an artist I do not exist.

Amanda DowieI will paint anything that captures my imagination or inspiration; my first love being sea-scapes. I really enjoy exploring and playing with colour and rather than recreating a pretty scene, I try to capture energy which tends to produce a more contemporary look.

Michael EganSome of my oil paintings are very heavily layered with paint up to 12 mm thick; this perspective to me gives a painting a much more interesting 3D dimension. I have also completed some more paintings on commission since returning home.
