After receiving a Distinction for her MA in Fine Art Painting, Anthea Holmes has become an accomplished professional artist. Born in the UK, Anthea attended the Camberwell College of Arts and later studied at Kingston, before being awarded a place at the celebrated Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York. Working in a traditional style, Anthea often builds up the ground by using Gesso, collaged paper and scrim. Then using oil paint she builds upon the surface quality, adding, rubbing and wiping until the texture and image become integrated and inseparable. "In all my work I'm trying to create a sense of harmony, unity, wholeness and luminosity." Holmes has exhibited in the UK and the USA and has works in private collections alike.

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.

In recent years I have started each painting with purely formal, open-ended, classical Abstract Expressionist intentions, until some sort of figurative scenario presents itself to me. Whereupon, with as little sacrifice as possible of the pure painting so far achieved, I encourage a believable real scene to emerge. When I drew with charcoal on paper, which is how I first became aware of this possibility in my work, it usually resulted in figures and/or animals, caught in some rather strange and sometimes funny 'in between' situations. Recently, with slowly increasing success, I have begun to achieve this in my paintings. In order to approach the technical simplicity of using just a stick of charcoal, as I do when I draw on paper, while using oil paint on canvas, I have restricted my palette to the three primary colours and white.

Georgia Hurst specialises in Acrylic paint on board and canvas. The effects of natural and artificial light and the way in which it refracts, shatters, and splinters, on a variety of natural surfaces inspire her work. "My work is a continuing exploration of the concept of Reflections and all its suggested metaphors - whether from light, in water, or in the way memories fragment even as we try to catch them".

Audrey Hussey is a compositional painter who predominantly works in oils or Acrylic on canvas. Using painting, photography and memory as her source material, she uses a number of techniques to help stimulate her creativity and the process by which she creates her work. Drawing on Eastern philosophy, yoga and meditation, which she finds helps to exercise, develop and focus her aptitude and creative talents, she allows the images to flow from her, "inner self". Her work often demonstrates a strong awareness of the powerful effect of colour. Audrey Hussey studied at Chelsea School of Art, London.
