    • ChessChess is a mixed media artist based in Salisbury, Wiltshire. Her work firmly roots the iconic figures that she paints in their context, incorporating original newspaper clippings from throughout their lives and legacies. The textual element of her work brings together the love of reading and writing that she explored through her English degree and Creative Writing Masters with her love of painting and creating. The finished pieces, as well as being detailed portraits, have the added dimension of the stories that are attached to them.

    • Craig DavisonAs he rode his bike across the famous steel city of Sheffield in the early 1970’s, Craig Davison could not have predicted the impact these care free days would have upon his career some 40 years later. With the adventures and escapades of a youth well (miss)pent coming to a close and the nearly endless summer holidays leaving only the very best memories in its place, the line towards becoming one of the UK’s best selling fine artists was anything but a straight one. A successful role as a cartoonist began the journey with BAFTA award winning stints drawing the likes of The Shoe People and The Wombles before moving into animation and games design with a major British company. Working on a wide portfolio of the day’s most known computer games including Zorro, The Hulk and The Hurricanes allowed Craig the platform to sculpt everyday as his sculpting reference figures for 3D animation developed him artistically enough to become a freelance sculptor working alongside international brands including Harry Potter and Doctor Who. Turning from clay to brush, Craig Davison began seriously painting as recently as 2007. Within a year he was finally a full time painter, as he remains…
    • Dean Martin“I always loved to draw as a kid. Over the years I’ve dabbled in various mediums, oils, watercolour, airbrushing and the good old rattle cans and currently experimenting working with acrylics. I’ve received no formal artistic training as such, preferring to be self-taught through my own trial an error, consequently I’ve always lacked the real confidence to show or promote my work in any professional capacity. Over the years, painting became more of a hobby and a way of relaxing after a hard day’s graft. Around 3 years ago, I pursued life-portraits, first, in a pop art style, then over time, added more and more details and features as I became accustomed to the paints & the medium. In 2018, I produced a series of London gangster paintings which were enjoyed by the friends and family of the subjects in the collection. Charlie Richardson’s wife, the lovely Ronnie Richardson saw his portraits & we got chatting before becoming good friends. Mrs Richardson then offered to host my first exhibition in London putting on display all the gangster paintings I had created, with all the remaining old school faces in attendance, it was a very surreal experience. I’ve had the pleasure…
    • Derrick FieldingBorn in Liverpool in 1965, Derrick remembers spending much of his childhood with his head buried in a comic, usually The Beano or Whizzer and Chips. He would relish being sent to bed early as a punishment for some misdemeanour, so that he could read the latest escapade of The Bash Street Kids or Dennis the Menace. From an early age he loved to draw and as he grew older, began to use this passion to unleash an elaborate imagination that created various board games for his neighbourhood friends. Fortunately, his father was a painter and decorator so his earliest ‘canvases’ were the backs of rolls of wallpaper, of which there was always a steady supply of. He later served an apprenticeship as a signwriter, painting the enormous advertising hoardings at sports venues up and down the country and this experience would influence his style as an artist in years to come. Living on the edge of the city, he was fascinated by the beauty of the surrounding countryside and would slowly venture further and further out on his pushbike. He ended up spending many years travelling around the country on marathon cycling holidays with friends whenever the chance arose.…
    • GhostHailing from South Wales, Ghost is a collaborative project which takes two artists and combines their skills to create incredible works of art. Ghost focuses on transforming the viewers perspective on an icon or character and reconstructs their subject by manipulating, embellishing and altering the images. Using digital methods and street art as a source of inspiration, Ghosts’ artworks are a nod to the anti-establishment. Inspired by the emotive response of street art, Ghost set out to create unique pieces which celebrate the diversity of urban art. Taking influence from tattoo art, Ghost design their own tattoos to adorn the individual. From allegorical symbols to hidden meanings, each Ghost piece is uniquely different. Unapologetically bold, their mixed media artworks are uniquely embellished and finished with a bespoke spray paint frame.
    • James TinsleyJames is a Suffolk based, working tattoo artist who began exploring his artistic license with canvas early during the 2019 Covid lockdown. Wanting to keep his creative juices flowing during the pandemic, he started working with acrylic paint and various mediums such as airbrushing and soon found his love for large scale portraiture. His heavier detail in the face and features of his projects, contrasts against a more “out of focus” background to help bring his pieces to life with a three-dimensional quality that’s difficult to capture. From a young age, James has always dreamt of showcasing his artwork to the world and now he’s doing just that and loving the journey.
    • JJ AdamsThe son of a Baptist preacher, JJ Adams emigrated as a child from Plymouth in the UK to Cape Town in South Africa in the early eighties. Adams spent much of his youth around the studio of South African contemporary landscape artist Derric van Rensburg, where he discovered his love of bright colour and graphic art. JJ Adams studied graphic design at Cape College whilst working as an apprentice in `Wildfire Tattoos` a busy tattoo studio in central Cape Town. He returned to the UK in 1998 where he furthered his study in commercial printing at the Plymouth College of Art and Design. He has worked as a freelance graphic designer and sign maker before finally breaking into fine art. JJ Adams uses a range of mixed media in his work from spray paint to hand painting acrylics, screen printing and digital matte painting as well as photography. JJ is fast becoming one of the UK’s most talked about artists. Adams uses a range of new and mixed media in his work which varies from spray paint, and hand painting acrylics to screen printing, collage and digital matte painting.
    • Julie ConnorJulie is a self taught, multi-media artist residing in Colchester in Essex. She began painting and drawing at an early age but decided against any formal art training, choosing instead to develop her talent through self taught means. Julie consequently moved through the educational system into a successful career in nursing, but later decided to give this up to pursue her art passion full time. Julie paints with acrylic for its versatility, favouring high flow fluid acrylics and inks particularly. “I adore using bright, bold colours and often team them with contrasting dark backgrounds to really make them pop.” Julie’s new collection is inspired by her love of cities. “Growing up in a small country village, big cities have always captivated me. London and Paris in particular hold a special place in my heart.” A cityscape painting is a snapshot in time. But in reality, cities are a buzz of excitement and activity with bursts of colour. Julie aims to create this atmosphere and energy with the use of bright colour, dark, moody skies and the addition of random marks, squiggles and splatters to give the piece movement and vitality. “Cities are often depicted as being grey and dismal but…
    • Kealey Farmer“I’ll paint the whole world silver and gold if I could” was the determined childhood promise that led to a lifetime love affair with art for Kealey Farmer. In 2003, having finally decided now was the time to make good of that innocent vow at her grandmother’s house, the Derbyshire born and bred artist chose to step away from her successful project management career to commit to her true vocation and go professional. She was now a full-time artist. This move has been proven to have been the right one as the Northants based mixed media artist is now known unequivocally as one of the most impressive, innovative and collectable contemporary British artists. With over 25 years of painting, drawing and personal study experience as a predominantly self-taught artist, Kealey’s versatility and authenticity are major contributors to her success. Having begun her career indulging in strong abstract pieces, dripping with colour and energy – her now signature move towards 3D elements began in 2006. The handmade elements that include glass, diamond dust, Swarovski crystals and finished by the artist herself in resin have become a much-loved fixture within her work. Touching upon romance, love, relationships and family and possessing an…

    • Michelle MackieMichelle Mackie also known as Dolly is a self-taught photographer, digital artist and visual story teller. It is with these tools that Michelle has been able to explore her own psyche, recreating forgotten joys and life’s loves, whilst vanquishing past tragedies and trauma. “I’m forever daydreaming, and I get to create some of what goes on in my busy little head for all to see” What started off as a hobby and an escape of sorts for this busy working mum soon became much more. In 2014 Michelle was asked to exhibit her work in a local gallery, It was this that forged her on to build her skills and passion, which lead to finding her own unique style. By combining the power of nightmares and the magic of fairytales Michelle presents her inner-self; her memories, fears and dreams in an art form that can provoke powerful emotions and connect with people in ways she never Imagined. Before considering reaching for her camera, every project is meticulously pre-conceptualised, and only when the piece is thoroughly planned does the work begin. A location is sourced, and a model chosen, props are chosen to give extra symbolism within the work, wardrobe is…
    • Monica VincentMonica Vincent is a self-taught 3D and digital artist. Constantly inspired by her hometown, and the UK’s Southern art capital, Brighton. A mother of two young girls, Monica uses whatever free time she can spare sketching, photographing or manipulating her works using three-dimensional digital mapping & layering techniques. Vincent also considers herself the country’s greatest barista! Far more modest as an artist, her non-coffee-based creations are finished digitally, but begin life on her much-thumbed sketchbook & within her extensive back catalogue of her own photography. Drawing passion and muse from a wide range of artistry, she feels equally at home adoring the works of the great masters as she does savouring the work of the greatest traditional tattooists of our time. Nearly all holidays are to take in international tattoo conventions & art shows across the UK & Europe. I try to let my artwork speak for itself, but I love crazy patterns, ink culture and paintings that are older than the houses they hang in! If I’m not designing tattoo flash, I’m making my own comic book designs in my spare time. Or at least what is left of it! Monica began exhibiting nationally in 2017 following success as…
    • Paul OzPaul Oz is a passionate British portrait artist who uses thick oil paint to achieve maximum 3D impact. Paul is best known for travelling the world live painting with Formula One, but he’s also done work for Team Sky on the Tour of Britain, Chelsea FC to commemorate their 2017 title success, and Lamborghini for the introduction of the Urus.

Every Paddock Club on the F1 calendar is showing it. A note from the Gallery Owner:…
    • Richard BluntBorn and bred in the West Midlands, Richard has always aspired to be creative. Loving art as a teenager, Richard decided he’d like to study Fine Art with the view to making his passion his career. However, taking advice from an advisor who told him, “you’ll never make any money as an artist”, he chose to compromise and to study three-dimensional design at Worcester College of Art. Upon leaving college, frustrated and unsure of his career pathway, Richard turned his mind to music. Whilst spending the next ten years playing in various bands he eventually relocated to Cardiff, South Wales, where he completed a degree in Popular Music and is still based to this day. Richard never lost his love for art, but it wasn’t until his late twenties that he was inspired to try oil painting and was instantly hooked. Following some early notable gallery success, in 2012 Richard was taken on by a UK based publishing house, placing his original artworks and embellished prints in galleries around the UK and gaining collectors for his work worldwide. Predominantly an oil painter, Richard paints in a traditional manner. However, inspiration from film, music and the world around him help form…
    • Sam WolfeHaving only begun experimenting in creating her artworks in earnest through the first lockdown of Covid, Sam’s relatively new entry to the market already appears to be taking off! As her first, fully published collection, “Songs for Summer” represents a fun and eclectic mix of the artists favourite old and new song lyrics with titles that have been cleverly used in conjunction with her satirical mixed media portraits. She has successfully completed a selection of client commissions this year so far and we very much look forward to seeing Sam gain the credibility and recognition she deserves for her unique style & content.
    • Wild SeeleyWild Seeley is a London Highbury based urban artist whose paintings defy convention. Juxtaposing urban scenes, humans with animal heads creating havoc and you enter Wild Seeley’s world. With a distinctly British style Wild Seeley’s work is subversive and surreal, using almost feverish marks, his painterly technique is highly distinctive. Inspired by the darker forces of society, the often-farcical forces of human nature and by merging popular culture with urban images his works force us to examine society and the individual. Wild Seeley has been on the underground urban art scene since 2005 and is now rising to prominence on the gallery circuit.
    • ZeeDescribed as a mixed media / digital artist – “ZEE” – was born in Budapest, Hungary in 1979. As an artist, Zee has the distinct advantage of being completely self-taught, which has developed into a healthy disregard for the “rules” regarding established commercial art. Zee’s style and methods for “building” images in a digital capacity lend themselves to naturally breaking the preconceptions of more traditional mediums. Zee began exploiting the passion of her creative side more productively after the birth of her first child. As an excited new mother, Zee didn’t want to spend a single day missing all those precious first moments, so she used her creativity and love for art to begin creating unique illustrations and larger scale artworks. From relatively humble beginnings, leading onto to a full career in supply chain and small business ownership and a late start in art, Zee now enjoys the freedom of being an artist without the fears or urgency that usually encompass “creating” exciting new artworks under the more conventional standards & terms. Experimenting with various mediums, including acrylic paints, inks, various embellishment techniques, Zee sometimes finds herself with a naturally completed painting in front of her with no clear memory…
