Paul Alcock has been painting and drawing pretty much as long as he can remember and counts himself as being very fortunate to live in this little corner of Essex on the Thames Estuary; an area which is so visually diverse.
He expresses something of its life in his paintings and paints a wide range of subjects based on his experiences of observing the world around him; painting from direct observations as much as possible. He also teaches several art classes to adults in both Rayleigh and Leigh On Sea, as well as running several painting holidays, workshops and demos throughout the year.

Bronwyn Oldham
As an avid flower photographer, her recent work has been influenced by the floral works of the late, American, female modernist painter, Georgia O’Keefe. Her bold paintings mirror the techniques of tight cropping and abstract composition found in photography. Tulips are her favourite flower and she loves to capture them in her work at various stages of their life. She is also a keen gardener and sees this as having a deeper connection with her subject matter.
Deb Price - A Worthy Tide
As a passionate creative, Deb Price started to recycle materials into works of art. Wherever possible she uses all manner of throwaway items. A vintage book for example has endless recycling possibilities! Waste not want not is her motto.
Susan Blamey

She has used mono printing, lino printing and watercolour - hey go to techniques for these cards. Each card we have for sale is one of a card and won’t be reproduced.

While there remains a strong figurative quality in her paintings, her main focus concentrates on the investigation of the light, colour and shapes in the world around her. Evoking the feel or mood of the place and seeking to express the energy and emotion of being there.
As well as painting, Susan is also a potter, creating may works in clay that shall be available to buy in the galley during the exhibition.

Peter Springer: Paintings
1st March - 31st March 2022
Redshanks By Peter Springer - Watercolour Painting - £650
1st - 31st March - Peter Springer Paintings
Peter Springer splits his time between living in the UK and Barbados where he is stimulated artistically by the vast differences in the weather and the natural world.
Peter’s interest in nature started from early childhood, kindled by his father who was a keen naturalist and breeder of exotic birds in Barbados. His interest in wildlife is only rivalled by his love of art; both developing separately as he experimented with all types of subject matter and painting styles. When he eventually concentrated solely on wildlife art, he was immediately hooked; finding the extensive field work required a huge bonus. Being an obsessive nature lover, gave him the perfect excuse to explore for hours the beauty of the woods, marshlands and coastline in all seasons.
Peter has done several solo exhibitions in the UK as well as exhibiting in the Society Of Wildlife Artists, Royal Institute of Painters and Watercolour and Audubon Wildlife Masterpiece’s in Boston USA. He has also won several art competitions including the Sunday Times Watercolour competition and the Mall Galleries competition with Prince Charles selecting his work for the very prestigious “Discerning Eye”.

Paul Bailey is a landscape artist, though his semi-abstract approach to painting nature combines the two aspects of art in a surprising and exciting way.
“The wild, windswept tracts of the Cambrian mountains, Radnor hills and the Brecon Beacons are now my major source of inspiration. However, thoughts of the East Anglian coastline and its interior farmland are never far from my mind.”
Bailey’s work has been exhibited in galleries all over the world and in being an experienced artist has gained over 13 thousand followers on Instagram and sold hundreds of pieces from his online shop.

Visual Music in Textile Art: Jane Barry
7 March - 30 April 2021
7March - 30 April
Notes from Jane Barry:
“My thoughts on making visual images from favourite pieces of music have been developing over probably seven years or so. In concentrated months over 2020, my challenge formed into a collection of pieces of work, including a variety of textile techniques. Aspects of music chosen may inspire colours or shapes, or features connected with composers or musical forms.
“Embroidery is the basis of most pieces, using both free machine and timeless hand stitching. While recycling of fabrics is my source of the majority of materials, natural dyeing and layers of collage give me a sense of adventure.”
