Jessica Gale

I began to paint in 2010 during a spell of living in Amsterdam. Spurred on by the dark, quiet beauty of a Dutch winter, I was strongly influenced by the brooding mood of Rembrandt's work. The focus of my work is diverse, perhaps a result of spending a large part of my childhood and married life living overseas.  I produce both representational and abstract work, enjoying the challenges of landscape and figurative painting and drawing.  I have always felt the pull of nature, and am particularly drawn to the natural world, the great outdoors.  My practice involves both plein air and studio work and I enjoy a holistic involvement with my subjects.  In both my abstract and representational work, I like to investigate the dynamics of what is in front of me – the shapes, the light, the negative spaces - and then manipulate them, whether it is through form or colour.

sarah young

Sarah Young has a fine art degree and has been painting, one way or another all her life. She has exhibited widely, both in art galleries and private solo exhibitions. She also has a consistent request for commissions. Her work is predominantly inspired by the English landscape particularly in Dorset where she grew up and Sussex where she now lives. She spends many hours painting, walking and sketching out of doors.
Her work is then bought back into the studio to be translated onto canvas, immersing herself in the process of drawing and painting. She loves every aspect of the countryside but has a particular
affinity with the magic of trees.
