My work is a mixture of graffiti, street art and fine art. Inspired by graffitie and street art culture from a young age, also coming from a huge influence of the HipHop / Rap scene from the 90s and 2000s. My work is flexible and I really enjoy working with different materials, textures and backgrounds.

Soon to be exhibiting at Holmfirth Art Week 6-12th July.

Smiths Art Gallery Brighouse 5/7 - 6/12.

The Fringe Meltham 8-12th July Carlile building.

My work combines my observations of the West Yorkshire landscape with the rich industrial heritage of the past with occasional references to music, particularly punk and The Sex Pistols who played their last UK performance at Ivanhoes, Manchester Road in 1977. All work is mixed media either on paper or found materials.

When I was nine my painting was chosen for the School Christmas Card and I have never looked back. I attended Bradford School of Art in the 1970s and spent a working life designing products ranging from washing machines to furniture, with numerous patents and registered designs to my name; all the while never neglecting my love of watercolour. I retired as a furniture designer a few years ago and took on a part time watercolour-teaching rold which includes weekly Zoom tutorials and regular painting workshops. I exhibit at local venues.

My painting passion is watercolour and I strive to perfect an abstract-realism style. My motivation is always prompted by something that I have seen, preferably local.

My work includes experimenting with colour and design, using illustrative and painting techniques to create my own individual stylistic work. I explore themes of the natural world, folklore, and melancholy song lyrics, mainly inspired by the Moorlands I am lucky to live amongst.

Though life took me in other directions, creativity has remained at the heart of everything I do - especially in championing the arts in education and inspiring children to express themselves.

She love bright colours, her dog Cooper and pinot grigio.

Her work is diverse, encompassing painting, drawing, sculpture, photography, and collaborating in film-making. Her subject is the human figure, its psychology and social context, with an emphasis on the space in which a figure (or form) exists.

Christopher uses primarily recycled fabrics and textiles in his work, to give material a new lease of life.

Most often I express myself through ceramics and pen drawings. I also make mixed media pieces where my passion for ephemera and found objects infuses my work.

In between earning a living and walking I indulge my irrepressible urge to be creative in many ways. Painting is just one branch of expression that I dabble in. I am inspired by all the nature we share our world with, but most of my work comes directly from the imagination.

After working in the fashion industry for over ten years as a Graphic Designer, I had a gap for family life before returning to painting a couple of years ago.

I worked as an architectural technician from 1974 to 1995, for R. Pickles and partner, Yorkshire Electricity Board, West Riding County Council and finally Kirklees Metropolitan Council as Senior Architectural Technician.

Working mainly in watercolour pencil to create vivid colours in intricately detailed abstract works. With occasional ink works of a similar style. In recent years they have experimented with some photography, acrylic paints and other mediums.

Over the decades the look of the work has continally changed with the evolving themes and preoccupations. During this current period I am making work related to personal experiences and relationships. These are often combined with other imaginary events which sometimes produce a sense of enigma, humour or discord. The illustrated painting “M. Bonnard visits a garden in Marsh” is an example of this.

I started learning how to draw and paint during lockdown, watching online tutorials. After trying several different medias, I found that I liked to work with pastels and charcoals, especially making animal portraits. The pastels really help capture the expression.

My work goes from interior design and refurbishments to street art projects like “Milnsbridge Library”, painting, sculpting and photography are included in my portfolio.

My artwork for Marshian Arts 2025 is a photography never shown before of a series of works based on the short story of Jorge Luis Borges: “The House of Asterion” from his book, “The Aleph”, first published in 1949.

I mainly work with textiles, but also do a bit of printmaking too. My favourite thing is working small and sustainable.

At its best I hope my work can be a force for good in people's lives and offer a little beauty, spirit (and calm) among the chaos... practically and psychologically. All underpinned by a compulsive belief in luck, good people, existentialism, Yorkshire and wabi sabi.

The piece on display, what makes us... is part of a series working from home. It is also a fully functioning freestanding lamp.
