Sarah Hamilton Brewer

Sarah creates evocative abstract moodscapes inspired by the natural world, exploring portals, thresholds and our emotional relationship to place. Her paintings move between darkness and light, microscopic details and vast landscapes, drawing you into an immersive, contemplative world of colour, texture and light.

Her atmospheric paintings reflect both the beauty and fragility of the natural world.

Kate Boscence

Kate draws daily inspiration from the vast skies, sweeping weather fronts and untamed landscapes that surround her. Her intuitive paintings evolve through layers of gestural brushwork, soft tonal shifts and rich texture, balancing abstraction with memory to capture the feeling of a place rather than simply depicting it. Her work evokes the atmosphere and emotion of the natural world — perfect for anyone who feels a deep connection to the landscape.

James Williiams

James creates sculptural ceramic forms through hand building, carving and surface transformation. Working with spheres, orbs and curved volumes, his pieces have a quiet presence — tactile, intriguing and beautifully considered. His saggar-fired forms develop organic markings shaped by flame, minerals and chance, while curved vessels introduce movement and asymmetry.

Erica Ankers

Celine Gilart

Celine Gilart is a contemporary artist originally from France and now based in the South of England. Working mainly in acrylics, often enriched with oil pastels, her paintings explore bold colour, expressive texture, and joyful warmth. Inspired by everyday life, fleeting moments glimpsed on coastal walks, calm interior spaces, the golden light of late afternoons, and memories collected from travels abroad and her childhood, her work invites a slower, more mindful way of seeing.

Rebecca Roberts

Rebecca has always lived close to the coast and as a result it has had a strong
influence in her work. Currently this is resulting in two harmonious collections:
Collection one is elegant and functional everyday homeware made from porcelain.
These have coastlines hand drawn into thrown forms that are then enhanced by
inlaying coloured porcelain into them. The second collection, made up of pictures
and bowls, has a more abstract feel to them. With these she is exploring and
encouraging some of the natural properties and reactions of the porcelain, looking to
the material to be itself and being more led by it.

Amy Teague

For Amy, art is all about connection. Her paintings begin with places she has visited, seas she has swum in and sunsets she has experienced — translating her deep connection with nature into colour, texture and movement.
