Hailing from Ghana and based in the UK, Anne Blankson-Hemans brings a special vibrancy to her street scenes and tabletop still lives. Her attention to detail brings a documentary feel to these often exotic vistas, though she eschews photorealism in favour of comic-strip immediacy and bright colours that focus attention on key subjects.

Like Yinka Shonibare, Blankson-Hermans finds inspiration in those multi-hued fabrics we describe as 'African' and as an associate member of the Society of Women Artists, she has clearly found her metier.

As a police woman living and working in South Africa, Cornelia Brand's paintings are inspired by "… the changes that took place in South Africa and in my life, since democracy". Through her use of vibrant colour, Brand hopes to reflect the "multifaceted nation", where she lives.

Brian Brooks has been exhibiting internationally since the 1970's with work held in private and public collections throughout Europe, the USA and Latin America. Brian has a natural talent for translating the visual world onto a two-dimensional picture plane. Utilising digital technology and computer software, his paintings use photography as a point of reference rather than a tool for direct imitation. His integral understanding of colour and perspective equals his command for pattern and repetition with an elegant and refined painting technique.

With inspiration coming from both urban and rural settings, Jeanette Buckley paints the world as it feels. As an endlessly inquisitive artist, she uses the cities and countryiside of her northern home to find colours and patterns to create interesting artworks. In some paintings she cretaes figurative abstractions that capture the bohemian atmosphere of bottle-littered Amsterdam bars. In others it is the icy trees and low lying sun of a winter's scene; days when the air feels tight against your skin. Often, she moves into complete abstraction, creating sunswept, intense vibes that glisten with inner warmth. By using the key figures of 20th Century art as a starting point, Buckley creates warm and affecting works that would grace any room.

Dubliner Gerard Byrne is a self-taught painter and electrician. In recent years he has enjoyed considerable commercial success as a painter and has sold work to the Guiness Collection as well as the Department of Justice, Foreign Affairs and, naturally, the Electricity Supply Board! He regularly exhibits at the Gorry gallery in Dublin and has shown in New York and Berlin. Byrne uproarious, often satirical social scenes are painted from the imagination using catalogues as a reference for faces. His landscapes, street scenes, charcoal drawings and still life reveal a different sensibility; a careful observationist and chronicler of life as he sees it. He cites his influences as Sean Scully, Van Gogh, Gaugin and Matisse.
