Barber, Susan Ann

I am currently exploring essential images from the environment, especially trees and water, focussing on nature’s transient seasons and the vulnerability of the environment. I also enjoy showing the heart and personality of people from working the land/farming or communicating through music, etc.

Bristow, Barbara

My inspiration often comes from forms in nature and the landscape around me but occasionally from scientific concepts in physics or astronomy...

Carlton, Jan

I am an Art Psychotherapist as well as an artist, having taken my Masters degree in 2007. I have created art in various ways, sculpture, print, photography, installations and paintings. I have established a new love of oils and the vibrancy of the colours that manifest is so alluring. My most recent work includes abstract, semi-abstract paintings depicting hope, femininity and strength.

Clewlow, Lorraine

My work has taken many forms including sculpture and fabrication, drawing, abstract acrylic painting, ceramics, casting, plasterwork and an occasional performance piece. My creations are born both from personal experience and from my observations of life and the world around me. The materials I use are deeply symbolic, the methods of construction likewise. I aim to express my thoughts through aesthetic form by making art which I hope is accessible, beautiful and meaningful on many levels.

Coker, Nicholas

For as long as can remember, I have been interested in the emotion a pencil stroke can evoke and the intrigue a technical structure can cause. Infusing a creative idea with my time and attention to detail, I have created drawings, paintings and sculptures I am very proud of. In 2007, I began my creative journey at the University of Derby; studying for a BA Honours in Fine Art. Alongside my creative interests, I have always had a passion for aviation; frequently visiting aircraft museums for inspiration.

Combs, Del

My self employed status is ‘designer maker’. I work slumping and fusing glass bottles to create functional and decorative vessels, and sculptural forms.

Dennett, Nicki

I graduated from the University of Derby in 2006 with a first class honours degree in Illustration. Since then I have shared my passion for printmaking with others through workshops in schools and communities as well as exhibiting and selling work in the UK and abroad. Currently I am collaborating with a writer to create a childrens book. The inspiration for my work comes from a love of drawing life around me. I constantly fill sketchbooks, take photographs and gather ephemera whilst travelling anywhere from a trip to the shops to a journey abroad. Recently whilst working on ideas for my new work I was introduced to solar plate etching. This medium gave me fresh inspiration and new ideas enabling me to continue my journey of experimentation into printmaking. My recent body of work ‘Travel Diaries’ was inspired by and used images from my own collection of memories, sketchbook drawings, photographs and ephemera. The journey continues!

Foster, Keith N

I am a Barbados born artist who has lived in England for many years. I was awarded a BA Honours Degree in Fine Arts by the University of Derby.

Moffett, James

In my work I seek to portray the balance between growth and control which is essential in maintaining successful ecological systems, societies and relationships - all of which have much in common.

Norton, Betty

From early childhood I have always maintained an interest in art....

Petraitis, Katie

I am driven by the promise of learning, by the potential discoveries of new knowledge and understanding. Yet learning is, in truth, useless unless it is somehow then utilised. My practice explores what role art might play in the dissemination of such knowledge.

Smith, Jeni

I work with colour and texture to create sumptuous textiles hangings. Much of my work is a celebration of the World Heritage Corridor in Derbyshire. I also collect old, small objects and magazine texts from the last 50 years and collage these to form sculptures which look like 3 tier cakes.

Stevens, Colin

A retired businessman, I began serious painting in 1989 and obtained a B.A Hons Degree in Fine Art at the University of Derby in 2003.The elements of painting that interest me are colour contrast, texture, shape, line and atmosphere.....
