AMY FATHERS
NEW ARTIST
As a child, Amy wanted to make paper skyscrapers for the moon. She had to scale down her ideas a little, but she is still obsessed with the art of working with a paper. Now, much closer to home than originally planned, she is fascinated by the teeming minutiae of the natural world around her. Amy finds these far more awe inspiring than any skyscraper.

JILL TATTERSALL
Colour is vital to Jill. She uses paints, inks, dyes and pure pigments to build up intense and glowing colours. Many of her pieces are made on her own hand-cast cotton paper which offers a seductive texture to work on, and can be moulded and manipulated. She experiments with materials and techniques, juxtaposing throwaway or reclaimed materials with costly ones such as pure pigments and gold and silver leaf.
JUDITH BERRILL
Judith lives and paints in Hove. She is a regular exhibitor in the Brighton Open Houses and Lewes Artwave where she has enjoyed sell out shows of her walking paintings and plaster pieces which record her perambulations around the footpaths of the South Downs. These are topographically accurate records of the rights of way, field boundaries and crops and furrows of the land but painted, maplike, from the air.
ZOE LAKSHMI
Zoe is inspired by the wonders of the universe, the flow of energy and interconnectedness between all things, as each unique life path reveals itself. Her work - ceramics, jewellery and painting; all evolve with love, care, passion and connection, letting the creations flow through. Her hope is that the recipients of her work are bestowed with the love and peace that she imbibes and imparts during the creation of her artworks.

CHRIS KAMPF
Based on natural forms, Chris’ simple interpretation of leaves, buds and flowers, all created in steel, stand out well against a garden backdrop. His designs have 360 degree interest, framing plants and buildings, while the steel surfaces reflect both sky and vegetation. Using either a ‘rustic’ or ‘shiny’ stainless finish and sometimes a combination, Chris’ sculptures can suit many situations, indoors or outside.
