    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 sculptor whose work investigates identity and the way we portray this in the world through the forms of our clothing and our architecture. Both are seen as metaphors for the body and for human experience. I have been investigating this relationship for 20 years. I work mainly for exhibition or in residency and have a studio in my local town of Stourbridge, in the West Midlands.

    I am a contemporary artist based in Kent, working primarily in watercolour. My practice begins with a question: what becomes possible in the spaces between? Through familiar places and everyday environments, I explore moments when different realities meet without cancelling one another, and when established ways of seeing give way to unexpected possibilities.

    London-based artist Dora Williams works across abstract and figurative painting, using layered surfaces, restrained colour and partial erasure to explore presence, memory and inner states. Figures, landscapes and symbolic forms emerge and recede, inviting a personal, emotional response.

    Based in North Yorkshire, I create expressive landscapes exploring colour, light and the boundary between observation and abstraction. Working primarily with soft pastel and mixed media on a range of artists’ papers, including traditional Vietnamese Dó and Điệp, my practice embraces tactile surfaces, spontaneous mark-making and the expressive possibilities of exposed paper.
