Louise paints birds and mammals. Her expressive style captures the unique features and personalities of each species often with humour. Original artworks are painted on reclaimed or sustainable source materials and then transformed into a range of eco-stationary and gifts.

I had a background in art, which I’d loved since childhood but I only took up painting “seriously” after I retired. I get a lot of my inspiration from my surroundings. I work with a variety of mediums and love experimenting.

Making art is an itch that has to be scratched. I make art everyday, sometimes painting, usually print making, always drawing. My inspiration comes from everywhere, mostly landscapes, usually from the where I live. Recently, scale has become part of the process, and current works are small. What interests me as much as the image I make, when I print, is the process used to make it, using lino cut techniques and tools, some conventional, some not. However, as always, when the paper is about to be lifted, there is the anticipation and then the moment of surprise when the image is revealed.
I have loved working with fabrics ever since I could reach the pedal of my mother’s sewing machine. Now I re-purpose fabrics making bags, aprons, cushions and just recently a unique collect of fun silk buttons.
I am greatly inspired by my surroundings, nature and my travels. I use acrylics and paint in my own slightly quirky style and have a range of merchandise including greetings cards, coasters, key rings and fridge magnets of the local area.

I’m an illustrator, surface pattern designer and tutor working from my home studio in Silverdale, my work is inspired by the natural world which surrounds us. At the festival I’ll be exhibiting my original collages and products featuring my illustrations.
Mike’s Artwork – The pictures are ready-to-hang and are created using a selection of natural and dyed wood veneers with occasional added materials for effect. The boxes are individually handmade using the same materials for both the interior and exterior surfaces.
Yvonne’s Artwork – The small, original pictures using acrylic paints are ready-to-hang as are the collage pictures which are created using mixed media materials. Hand-crafted cards are also created using mixed media materials. My inspiration is drawn from everywhere!
For many years I have pursued different textile techniques. My artwork presently features mainly felt and both hand and machine embroidery. The beautiful landscape of Cumbria provides a wealth of source material, together with it’s flora and fauna.
