Always trying to capture the emotions of a moment Val’s images represent a reality, not always representative, but those strong intuitive feelings, the passion, the joy, the love, are transferred onto canvas, hopefully leaving something for the viewer to explore.

Drawn to the rhythm and line of dry-stone walls, becks, ridges and paths that lead the eye through the landscape. Cally feels fortunate to live in the most beautiful county in England, and one that’s a never-ending source of inspiration. Her landscape paintings aim to show the unrelenting changes in weather, atmosphere and light whilst also depicting the constants of form and place.

With her current body of work she is going back to her roots and exploring colour and form through geometry, as well as looking at the line itself, with more heavily patterned pieces.

Daniel Hester is a artist/musician exploring and working in a variety of disciplines, currently focused on fine art, original folk music and nature photography.

As an artist, Daniel aims to create desirable pieces that not only have a decorative value but that are rich in historical and cultural value too. Many pieces are based off of archival photographs ranging from the late 19th century through to the late 20th century.

Born and bought up in Yorkshire, Charlie and his family moved to Cumbria more than forty years ago, drawn by memories of many summers spent on the shores of Ullswater at Sandwick Bay.

His paintings, mainly in Acrylic, aim to capture the wonderful scenery of the lakes and mountains at various times of year.
