Angie Rooke   Acrylic on canvas

Angie draws her inspiration from living in the countryside and feels incredibly lucky to be a landscape painter. She gets to wander the hills and woods with her dogs and then once back home she tries to distil the feelings she has about a place into an image that does it justice. What she gets from painting is the chance to look hard at the world around her; be aware of the turning of the year and notice the incredible colour that things are.

Max Oliver   Oil on Canvas

Born in 1982, Max Oliver was educated in Buckinghamshire.  After studying Geography at Royal Holloway he moved to South-West England.  This is where his passion for drawing and painting was re-ignited.  He enjoys the challenge of taking the atmosphere and energy of nature and translating it into a two dimensional canvas.  The oil paints he employs in the creation of his work are used in varying ways, sometimes applied thinly in washes, sometime thickly in an impasto style with brushes and knives.  He believes it is important to have a direct connection to the subject and, as such, works both in the studio and en plein air to create his art.

Rory Nugent

Acheived a degree in philosophy before doing his Masters at the Royal College of Art. He works predominantly in oil on canvas and concentrated watercolour on paper. Having painted landscapes for the last fifteen years he is now making more figurative work, with a subject matter of animals, birds (particularly owls) insects and fish. However, he is not a 'nature' painter as his subjects are unusual and unique. He has regular exhibitions in London and Devon and works on commissions throughout the year. His latest commission was for interior designer Henriette von Stockhausen which was featured in Homes and Gardens magazine. He has shown his work at the Royal Academy, Cork Street and the Barbican Centre.
