    In 2024 I became aware of the huge potential of acrylics so have switched across from watercolours that I have done for 10 years or so. Loving the fact that you can use almost anything to create a picture and it is a far more creative media. I use the brand name 'Random Acrylics' because they will be exactly that as you will see what you want to see.

    I am a painter and curator based at Bloc Studios in Sheffield. My paintings are made in an adapted pointillist style using acrylic on board. The majority of my subjects lie on the periphery of suburbia – sheds, unusual constructions and isolated buildings under repair – these interest me because they could stand as metaphors for the process of constructing the painting itself.

    Sharon is a textile-led artist whose practice involves experimentation with different techniques and media and following those “what if?” moments. Sharon is process driven; it is when she starts working with the materials that her ideas start to clarify, responding and thinking with her hands rather than advance planning.

    My artistic practice centres on stained and painted glass, exploring light as material and metaphor. Combining traditional techniques with experimental surfaces, I create contemplative works focused on presence, energy, and human connection. Informed by spiritual practice and meditation, my art fosters transformation, inner stillness, and shared experience.

    “As a designer, you are always drawing and visualising” “Many designers are frustrated artists. So, its time to put pen to paper.” He is not stuck to one medium. He uses multiple techniques to produce the visual image he’s looking for. My influences are Colour, perspective, geometry, and the distortion of the image.
