Lotta-Pia Kallio
Above: Bug Dress, Below: Dear WilliamLotta-Pia Kallio " I am interested in small stories and traces left by different events. My favourite materials and media are textile, photographs and video. I also make art of used objects, reassemble pieces into new stories and realities. My works often reflect the past: I try to catch the time passing by, understand the events around me, rewind and play in slow motion."

Above: In the dark I do exist. Olivia Jeffries loves old pieces of paper, scraps of history, paper with wrinkles and liver spots to scribe on and reinvent into her art. A great way to escape the dangers of a fresh blank white piece of paper.

Mary Summer
Above: Sheep Tree, Below: Seaside Field
Mary Summer's paintings have wonderful observations of nature and its humour. Mary paints observations of the south west coast where she lives, her compositions have lovely colour and texture, but most of all I love their sense of fun.

Alex Malcolmson
These 'slatted birds' by Alex Malcolmson are a joy, based upon the idea of an upturned boat and drawing upon the traditions of decoy making, absolutely stunning. Alex also established the Godfrey & Watt Gallery in Yorkshire which I found today, and which exhibits many of my favourite artists.
