About Our Resident Artists - Claire-Louise Dowson

Claire-Louise was born in Lowestoft and trained at Camberwell Art School in London. Based in various inland parts of the country, she combined a teaching career with bringing up two children. On retirement, Claire-Louise returned to live and paint in the beloved seaside town of her birth.
"The sea seems to draw me like a magnet. The pounding of the waves on the shore is like the heartbeat of the World, both soothing and awe-inspiring. This Suffolk coast, with its relentlessly changing mood and vast skies, provides the unique atmosphere that I try to express in my paintings."
Claire-Louises' starting point is a reverent fascination with the patterns of nature, a love of looking at...Read more

About our Resident Artists - Paul Griggs

Paul lives and works as a full time artist just outside the market town of Diss, Norfolk. Paul's original artwork has sold all over the UK and Europe, and has also reached the US and Canada. Always painting wet-on-wet using oils, Paul loves the vibrancy of the colours and the beautiful blends of tones that he can create with this medium. The artist has always resisted using quick drying acrylics as he believes that oils have a look of quality and depth in colour that truly enhance any painting.

Paul paints in a semi-abstract style and always straight onto a blank canvas, never sketching beforehand as he feels it restricts his creativity.Inspired by natures light, and keeping his art very tonal, Paul strives every day to create artwork that is...Read more

About our Resident Artists - Robert Jackson

Robert Jackson is an established professional artist living and working in Cheshire. He studied fine art first at college and then at university after finishing his degree he set up studio and has been painting ever since.Over the past few years Robert's work has evolved from traditional sunset paintings towards metallic textured, abstract art, which like a traditional sunset, attempt to capture light on canvas.His work is certainly unique and departs from the established concept of abstract art. Both heat and light appear to be fused into the surface of his canvases and his use of metallic paint and texture create works that often change with the ambient light or the viewer's position in relation to the piece. The materials used also depart from preconceptions of painting: Acrylic, metallic paint...Read more

About our Resident Artists - Carol Mountford

Carol loves painting cities - especially New York, London and Venice, trying to capture the atmosphere of the places.New York has so much energy and vitality that once the outline of the painting is done it seems to take on a life of its own, with bright lights contrasting with dark shadows, people hustling about, and cars and cabs rushing.Carol says, "New York is about the only cityscape you can't 'overdo', as the more pattern and splashes of paint and colour the better."London has a more subdued energy with its dark buildings with small areas of bright lights, whilst Venice is all about mystery and atmosphere.Carol paints in watercolour and gouache with dashes of pastel. She started to paint with...Read more
