A Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts, Frank Hill has a natural affinity for colour and form. Using delicate and refined hues and washes of colour, his work is intrinsically graceful, elegant and full of atmosphere and charm. "Essentially my interest is portraying elegance which is the reason for using ballet as a subject. I believe it is possible to make an elegant painting whatever the subject. Just groups of people in a well balanced composition with a pleasing colour scheme can look extremely elegant." Frank studied painting at the Waltham Forest School of Art. He subsequently spent a number of years working as a designer and illustrator for various design and commercial art studios, before concentrating solely on his painting

Art can be found anywhere. Rebecca discovered it as a ten year old, in hospital, on its white walls which served as her canvas. Since then, and throughout her life, she has been painting the things that surrounded her early years. Her father, a doctor, and his patients, provided a stream of references to what Francis Bacon termed as 'the human condition'. Rebecca was literally surrounded by illness, injury, birth and death. Rebecca says that the process of creating art is just as important as the result. "I start almost always from the depths of shadow, which I eliminate layer by layer to reveal the light", she explains.

Hassiba Hafiz's paintings are strongly influenced by nature and 'the power of the cosmos'. Although her subject matter is very obviously drawn from the same place, her paintings reflect two distinct styles of expression. Her mixed media works reflect and explore nature and its attributes through the physical use of textural colour and form, while her oil on canvas works, explore a reflection and illusion of it. Each unique way of working compliments and contributes to the other and generates an intense emotional response from the viewer. Hassiba Hafiz has exhibited across London and abroad.
