Susan Clare
Susan’s paintings, in watercolour, acrylics and mixed media, invite viewers to feel a reconnection to the natural world. Subjects emerge from colour and pattern, with ambiguous passages of texture and light, revealing vibrant tropical plants, seascapes and underwater life. She gives live painting demos, tutors workshops and keeps studios in both Hadleigh, Essex and Jamaica. She has exhibited extensively, in both countries and the USA, including the Artists’ & Illustrators A o Y Finalists (2017) and David Shepherd Wildlife o Y, at the Mall Galleries in 2018. In 2016 and 2018, she won the SAA Professional Artist of the Year. Susan hosts ‘Immersed in Watermedia’, an online painting club, which she started in 2020.

Alistair Gillan
I’m a native digital creative, embracing technology at every step of the creative process.
With a background in graphic design and digital film production. In early 2023 I started to explore the use of Ai in my artwork, sometimes just as reference, sometimes as elements of a larger piece. In the same way I love to tell stories with documentary film, I love to tell a story with my art through texture and colour on a digital platform.
I love to combine texture with vector, strong colour, a subtle detail that’s not always obvious at first glance.
Feel free to call on 07939 003191.
You can view my latest work at the following locations.

David Schreiber
David, a retired architect, has maintained his creative spirit in retirement through painting, which serves as his “encore” career. Architectural drawings are second nature to him, but he has expanded his artistic horizons to include various mediums such as pen and ink, charcoal, watercolour, acrylic, and oils. David’s preference lies in realism, and he paints what he perceives. Like in architecture, each line holds significance and is not arbitrary.

Tracey is passionate about encouraging people to explore their own creativity through her workshops and loves working with individuals to produce just the right commissioned pieces for their homes and places of work.
