Bridget Baker
Exhibiting at Natural Theatre Company
My early training was as a zoologist but I only started making wire animals after retirement. They are made from garden and household wire and then painted with enamel paints. I make all vertebrate animals – fish, amphibia, reptiles, birds and mammals, based on photos. Dogs, cats etc measure about 10cm tall. I am very happy to make people’s pets if they email me appropriate photos.
Sarah Ball
Exhibiting at Priory Coach House, 52a Lyncombe Hill
NEW ARTIST: Handling a sketchbook, collecting objects, earth and materials whilst walking freely in both the countryside and the coastpath gives me inspiration to approach my work in an experimental way. I prefer a mixed media approach or a pure watercolour method. Whilst back in the studio I prefer the painting to develop slowly, often working on a series at a time.

Shuya Cheng
Exhibiting at Natural Theatre Company
The patterns and textures of both the natural and man-made world inspire Shuya Cheng’s delicate freehand machine embroideries, which are elegantly suspended in shadowboxes. These physical phenomena become absorbing abstract studies – with each piece of work consisting of thousands of tiny stitches interlinked to capture the form and essence of structures that are often overlooked by the every day observer.

Usha Pearce
Exhibiting at 28 The Tyning
Process and experimentation with oil paint and other media are critical in the way I work. Although abstract, there is an underlying visual order that emerges in response to a theme. I build, obliterate, erase, paint over and scratch into the surface, leaving the traces of markings and scars of what has gone before.

Emma Rose
Exhibiting at St Matthew’s Church
NEW ARTIST: Emma is an award winning contemporary artist based near Bath specialising in semi-abstract and impressionistic painting with an emphasis on colour and texture. Using Indian Inks and acrylics she produces vibrant and arresting work, whose style is distinctive and original. Landscape, sky, sea, nature and memory are the inspirational core – often reflecting her interest in the Japanese aesthetic of Wabi-Sabi. This is the process and beauty of ageing which creates irregularity and imperfection.
Carol Symon
Exhibiting at St Matthew’s Church
My artwork embraces an eclectic range of styles and mediums. Colour is particularly important and humour tends to creep in especially when observing elements of our daily lives. I very much enjoy doing commissions which can be houses, events, people, places and animals.
