Karen Pitcairn
Karen is a figurative sculptor working mainly from life models. She aims to create a sense of the person and to capture their spirit, rather than produce a realistic representation. The textured surfaces of her sculptures and the obvious handling of the clay give rise to an emotional tension which is emphasised by the interplay of light and shadow.
Ross Van Nairn
Ross Van Nairn is an english fine artist and landscape photographer, born in London close to the Thames, his fascination and love of water has always informed his work. Living most of his life in Richmond near Richmond Park proved an inspiring place to develop his love of creating his paintings and photography.

Gillian Dent
A long-time Sheen resident, Gillian has lived in the area for 25 years. Always drawn to creativity as a child, she was encouraged to pursue art but initially took a different path, building a career in dental technology. For 27 years, she specialized in crafting crowns and bridges while also teaching in the field.
Three years ago, she semi-retired and made a dramatic shift—swapping teeth for landscapes and never looking back. She rekindled her passion for art through courses at Chiswick and Putney School of Art and continues to experiment with color, light, and form.
Working primarily with water-soluble oils, she creates landscapes that range from abstracted to more realistic interpretations. Fascinated by the endless possibilities of color, she paints with the intention of making art she would love to live with. Her work has resonated with others as well, and she has successfully sold several pieces. For her, color is not just a tool but an endless source of excitement and inspiration.

Charlotte Hicks
Charlotte Hicks is a British painter and printmaker, whose work centres around female empowerment and reclamation of the objectified female body in contemporary media.
Using bright colours and contrasting textures, Charlotte includes repeated motifs in her work (e.g. lips and legs) to emphasise the prevalence of this objectification in much of the media we consume daily. Her ultimate aim is to bring the attention back to the woman herself – making her the active subject of the piece, rather than the passive object.
Joanna Ling ceramics
Joanna Ling designs and makes ceramics from her garden studio in Southwest London. In a world of mass production, she feels it important to cherish the singular which is why every piece she creates is unique, considered and handmade. Her designs tend towards minimalism and therefore look at home in most interiors.
Becky Cunningham
Becky Cunningham studied Industrial Design and Technology and loved the creative and visual aspects of the degree. She has always loved creating art, in particular painting, but family life and career meant that it has taken some time before she could return to it. Having now returned to painting and illustration, Becky is enjoying capturing the natural world and alternative views on canvas.
