JILL TATTERSALL

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.

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.
