Meet Our Artists
The artists whose work we regularly stock here at The Art Gallery
Sophie Kilpatrick
Sophie Kilpatrick is a full-time professional UK based artist, born in Barton Seagrave, Kettering in 1987.
From a young age, she always knew she wanted to paint and create. She exhibited her first piece of art at aged only 4 years old in the Alfred East Gallery, Kettering.
After studying Art & Design at Latimer Community Arts College, Sophie went on to study at the London Art College and specialise in pet portraits in all mediums. This is where she discovered her love and passion for wildlife photo realism.
Sadly, after her mum passing in 2017, Sophie knew she had to focus even more on what she loved, what made her happy and to try and help inspire others to chase their dreams. All of Sophie's energy and passion is now solely directed into creating and capturing tiny details of the beautiful animal kingdom from all around the world.
Working mainly with acrylics and coloured pencils, Sophie wants to remind people how important it is to connect with nature and to not forget how beautiful the world we have around us, truly is.
Susan Leigh
Susan realised from a very early age that art would be at the core of her being, and would ultimately form part of her future career.
After art college, she decided textile design was the direction she wanted to pursuit. Having an ardent love of the French Impressionists she explored new boundaries between subject and form, media and texture, and colour and light. She looked primarily to nature for inspiration and constantly strived (and still does!) to express her perceptions and not exact representations.
She became design manager for a leading UK bedlinen and home furnishing company creating design ranges for high street department stores including John Lewis, M&S, Habitat and BHS, before eventually going freelance. Constantly challenging herself she also studied Interior Design and worked simultaneously in both disciplines with a little teaching on the side.
Susan loves to paint nature, predominantly focusing on flowers and animals of the wild, farmyard, and pet variety. Colour, form and expression have taken on a new meaning for Sue and she wants to explore this through painting whilst integrating her background in design.
Heather Howe
Heather Howe grew up on the Lizard Peninsula near Cadgwith. After school she completed a Foundation year and a B.A in Fine Art at Falmouth School of Art and Exeter University.
After leaving art school Heather worked as a practising artist in the South East of the U.K having one of her first solo shows at the Century Galleries in Henley-on-Thames at the age of 22. Her career has been very diverse in the subsequent years including commercial design work, private commissions and exhibitions throughout the U.K and overseas.
Heather has always had a strong emotional connection to the landscape and changing weather and strives to communicate this in her work. This feeling of engagement with her subject obviously translates to many people as her work continues to be much sought after by collectors.
Neil Pengelly
Neil's artwork has many layers to it and as you look at the detailing the images and social comment become obvious. 'Three Lions' celebrates the three most memorable footballing events, 1966, 1996, 2020 (played in 2021). Each section from left to right, has images and social comments from each of these years. Neil has then hand finished the frame in an urban graffiti style to suit his artwork.
Neil’s artworks have evolved from the chalk and charcoal figurative pieces to a more exciting and looser blaze of colours with varying subject matters. He found that that there are limitless possibilities with digital art that he would never be able to recreate with paintbrushes and pencils but likes to stay authentic to his art and so each print and frame is resplendent with added touches of acrylic and oil paints, and bejewelled with diamond dust, micro glitters.
Caroline Deighton
Caroline is a professional artist based in Eccleshall, Staffordshire. She is a keen walker and happiest when being at the top of a mountain. There is a strong influence from the Lake District where she likes to go as often as she can. She captures in her work the beauty she sees and feels while out walking on a beautiful, warm, sunset evening and meeting the characters that she now incorporates into her paintings. Her art is colourful, contemporary landscapes inspired by the British countryside. Her paintings are in mixed media of acrylic, pen and pastel, mainly on board. She likes to work at a reasonable size to be able give the sharp clean result that you see.
George Gale
George's father, who was also a talented artist, was the inspiration behind George's passion for painting and drawing.
On leaving Art College during the late 1970s, at the time of the miners' strikes and the three-day working week, George had no option but to put away his paint palette and find work. He held many varied jobs but realised that in order to follow his dream he had to make an important decision. George chose to commit himself fully to his passion for fine art and became a full time artist, a decision he has never regretted.
George's artistic creations have been evolving since 1989, with inspiration being drawn from treks through the beautiful Derbyshire Dales and visits to Cornwall. Like many professional artists, he strives for perfection and has a strong commitment to his work
Marie L Wrightson
Marie Louise graduated from Duncan of Jordanstone School of Art, in Dundee, in 2005. Having done her degree in Fine Art and then her Masters giving Marie's modern twist on a very fine art style has gained her an excellent reputation.
Marie paints from her summer house studio which has become a shrine to the great British seaside. Collected over many years numerous novelties make their way into a variety of her paintings. Born in Lincolnshire but having lived in Scotland for the past twenty years Marie is inspired by precious childhood memories of visits to the seaside as a young girl in Hunstanton and later visits to Weymouth.
Unique memories are visualised into the personality of the female figures within the paintings, the use of still life objects which the figures may be holding or arranged around her. 'Like many people, I have been influenced and inspired by fairy tales, cartoons, films and childrens books; especially the Alice in Wonderland stories'.
Kara Strachan
Kara Strachan is a self-taught Southport born artist. Her distinctive style and subject are inspired from her many years of floristry running her own successful business in London.
A move to Staffordshire allowed her appreciation of old English gardens and her fascination with ancient woodlands to develop. At her happiest wandering through woodlands with canvas and acrylic paint, depicting in her paintings the seasonal atmosphere that nature creates.
Outside of the studio she has been tasked with creating anamorphic 3D artworks for multinational companies, museums and educational establishments.
Kara also travels the British coastline and interprets the atmosphere of the sea and skylines capturing the mood on canvas in vibrant acrylics and brush strokes. Her love of the coast, woodlands and flowers is beautifully represented through her bold atmospheric paintings.
Martin Leighton
Martin Leighton was born in Montrose, Scotland in 1951 and now lives on the south coast of Dorset working from his home studio. Having always drawn from an early age he experimented with oils on canvas in the 1980s and never looked back. After several successful exhibitions he decided in 2003 to become a professional artist. He is entirely self-taught preferring to experiment with his own style and is passionate about portrait and figurative subjects which are often combined with seascapes. Living on the south coast allows many opportunities to study light changes as nature provides him with an abundance of ideas for his paintings.
Neil Dawson
Neil Dawson's cityscapes take inspiration from everyday images. Having grown up with a love for art, nurtured at school and at St Martins College in London, he forged a successful career in the City. He loved the buzz of the streets especially at night with headlights reflected on the wet tarmac, the energy of London buses and buildings reflected in the moonlit Thames.
Experiencing new cultures, surroundings and events, he photographed madly and widely and returned home to create amazing and vibrant international cityscapes which had become part of his own life experience. In addition to London these cities include Edinburgh, Paris, New York, Sydney and Venice. Painting in oil, the moods of his work changes from vibrant and dramatic to calm and serene as days unfold into night.
Caution
Caution is a new exciting emergent British Urban Pop artist.
Born in 1980, Caution is heavily influenced by the pop culture of that era. Creatively using explosions of bold colours, iconic images and design that come together to produce these stunning images.
#Onelife183
Introducing contemporary artist #Onelife183! There's nothing mysterious in this tag, it's a nod to his inspiration, New York Graffitist Taki183 (who was most prominent in the late 60s and 70s).
Weekends as a child for #Onelife183 was spent with his grandfather who himself was a keen artist and became an inspiration for #OneLife183 in his early years. As a teenager, experimenting in street art carved out a foreseeable path and put him on the journey which he is now on, using these early life experiences to create the digital artwork you see today.
#OneLife138 is known for his distinctive pop paintings, each one featuring his trademark spray bottle and often the comic 'pow' or 'pop'. Using complex collage techniques. Each piece is a dynamic creation of mash up pop culture which work to critique the banal and the mundane. His artwork challenges mainstream media values and inspires a sense of freedom in life.
Sannib
Sannib's iconic portraiture celebrates a distinguished repertoire of the 20th century figures to produce show-stopping artworks. The creativity in which he represents familiar faces is both innovative and charming; the classical portrait is abstracted, and the Illusion of layers gives stunning depth to the work
Sannib is a graduate in Graphic Design from the Syrian Design Center, Aleppo, Syria (1997) and before becoming a notable artist, he enjoyed a successful career in advertising, working in creative agencies in Kuwait, the UAE and London.
The experience of his background is clearing evident in his creative process; his artwork is sophisticated and his compositions both intricate and intriguing. Sannib has developed a unique mixed media style blending graphic elements, painting techniques and textures.
Kimberley Harris
One of Kimberleys earliest memories was her father, a great lover of impressionist art, taking her to a JMW Turner exhibition at the Tate Gallery. That was it - she was going to paint like this genius one day and ten years later in 2005, she gained a Diploma in Art and Design.She re-ignited her passion for painting in 2014 after meeting a renowned artist who introduced her to oils and the palette knife.
Says Kimberley, 'I quickly developed my own signature style, focusing on the natural beauty of the countryside that I am so lucky to be surrounded by. With an emphasis on colour and light and how one affects the other at different times of the day, Turners artistic inspiration is never far from my thoughts. The process of layering and blending the palette knife work to obtain the right tone, texture and light is so important to me. '
Alison Johnson
Alison's atmospheric oil paintings are vibrant and seductive and focal points for any space. By expressing the power of light playing amongst the water drops, this artist shows the abstract, surreal side to the natural world. Her seascapes follow a deep tradition which Johnson modernises and brings to a contemporary forefront. Colours sink below a piercing white surface as oceans and landscapes drift in and out of a sweeping hazy mist. The sky appears deep and brooding, the colours revealing a darkness that battles with the flashes of light. When shapes and figures do reveal themselves they appear lost and fragile against the infinite space of the world around. Such is the atmosphere contained in these works they could easily be viewed as pure abstractions, each detail vital enough to stand alone. Ephemeral, warm powerful and evocative she creates a sense of movement through colour, light and balance.
Nigel Cooke
Having spent many years travelling the world as a charicature artist, Nigel then started to look to translate his unique point of view into other subjects. Looking back to all the places he visited and worked, Nigel begun painting cityscapes, which elevated his illustrative style into fine art. His unusual, dynamic and unmistakeable style creates beautifully textured scenes that have intricate, layered details.
To date, Nigel has sold paintings all over the world, with particularly strong sales in the UK, the USA and the Far East. Spending years perfecting his drippy style, Nigel has now become one of the UKs most popular artists.
Tony Hinchliffe
His figurative painting is all about depicting the mood and intimacy within a moment, using a loose approach to his brushwork, trying to be spontaneous while carefully considering placement of strong contrasting values to create depth.
He has spent thousands of hours drawing figures from life, this has been fundamental to the development of his figurative painting style - mainly because he gets to observe directly the little details in body language that can suggest all manner of narrative, his favourite one is that everyone deserves to feel loved.
Ben Jeffrey
Ben was born in 1986 and grew up in Barnet, north London. He always had a keen interest in art ever since his grandfather introduced him to the work of John Varley, the renowned 18th Century watercolour artist, as the Varleys are related to the Jeffery family.
He first realised he wanted to be an artist in secondary school. A few classmates and him used to have bets to see who could draw the best portrait of someone. He really enjoyed going to school and showing them to see their reaction. He painted a portrait of his dad for a mock GCSE which got admired by the entire art class.
Natalie Bell
Natalie Bell creates her hyper realistic pieces in her favourite medium pastel. Her intention is to capture the soul of the wildlife and animals she can
see within and transfer that to her final image.
Natalie say “Many of you see the polished end results but never the struggles mid way: artists do struggle and no piece is “easy” I still have a lot to learn- I’m a great distance from my goal but the gap is closing”
Doug Hyde

Kerry Ann Lyons
Oxfordshire artist, Kerry Ann Lyons was first introduced to art at a young age when she was surprised to find a book of portraits her mother had drawn. Her fascination and interest for art was lit that day and has burned strongly ever since. She credits her beautiful Mum for getting her started on her art journey
Kerry’s inspiration comes from her love of Pop Art and its artists. Her uniquely creative thinking and use of bold lines and vivid eye-catching colours whilst using tone, techniques and vibrancy is what she enjoys most.
Her graffiti style marries with her doodle art to produce pieces of contemporary modern art that are unique and different.
Kerry is a totally self-taught artist, learning techniques and styles over the years and constantly practising with various media, always trying to increase her knowledge. She also has a love for animals and nature that reflect in her wildlife art too. Pop Art and Wildlife are very different genres, but Kerry feels it’s good to have a break from one to the other to keep yourself refreshed.
Michael Abrams
After leaving school, Michael worked as a fork lift driver for ten years. During that time he worked in the evenings as a freelance greeting card artist, developing techniques and ideas, working with all the major Greeting card publishers.
Success in this area meant that he was finally able to follow his dreams and become a full-time artist in 1990.
Since then Michael has worked and exhibited in New York and designed a full range of ceramics for Wedgwood featuring one of his teddy bear characters. Michael continues to see his fine art featured in galleries and homes in the UK and around the world.
Leanne Christie
Leanne Christie was born in Warwickshire, England. As a family Leanne moved to Cornwall on the coast near Gwithian Towans where she spent her teenage years. This area is Leanne's main inspiration for her many seascapes.
Inspiration: Leanne paints vibrant flowerscapes, English country gardens & wild flower meadows. Professionally painting for over twenty years, she has been described as one of the most prolific artists in recent years. Leanne is now living in Devon, drawing inspiration from the ever changing moorlands, beautiful coastlines and Devon's famous floral hedgerows; her work is unique and highly sought after.
The Paintings: All of Leanne's paintings are predominately oil, embellished with glitter, jewels and gold leaf. These unique paintings, regardless of whether they are flowerscapes, seascapes, waterscapes or moorlands, are textured with an almost three dimensional feel. The observer feels drawn in to the painting. Depending on the time of day or year, the light plays a magical part in making the paintings come to life.
Ben Goymour
Born in 1985 and lived in Peterborough most of my civilian life. I joined the Army at 16 and served in 29 Commando Regiment as a Bombardier. During that time, I did many tours including training in America with the US Marines, and three tours in Norway completing Arctic Leadership training. I was sent there as a test. They thought if I could lead in the Arctic I could lead anywhere. At the time there was no one else who fit the bill for the job I was training to do. So at the age of 20 yrs old I was deployed to Afghanistan as a Section Commander.
My inspiration comes from my passion for nature and adventure. My weekends are filled with wild camping, hiking and most recently paddle boarding! I'm always snapping reference photos where ever I go.
I spend hours studying how light falls on different landscapes. Light has become the main focus of my fine art landscape and seascape paintings. I love to create a sense of feeling and mood, which is only possible when seen through the eyes of the beholder. I try to capture that "you just had to be there" feeling in every painting.
Chris Chapman
Chris is an experienced and accomplished artist, enjoying a successful career as an illustrator after graduating from Leicester College of Art, England in 1979, where he studied graphic art and design. He turned his focus from illustrating to fine art in 2009 and his popular gallery series, featuring depictions of famous paintings, sells in selected galleries throughout the UK. These particular works are full of warmth and humour and Chris enjoys the process of creating the jokes as much as executing the final paintings.
Recently, he has begun producing abstract paintings, mostly with acrylics but some with texture as well. The majority of these are made without using brushes and this, coupled with the bold application of paint, provides Chris with a much looser way of working in contrast to the high level of detailed brushwork he employs in the gallery series.
After spending the early years of his career in London, he now lives and works in Bournemouth, Dorset. When not at work in his studio he can usually be found paddle boarding, windsurfing, mountain biking, or walking his Border Collie on the beach.
Noel Marum
Born in Brixton, South London in 1967, Noel is an artist who comes from a humble background and has spent the past 25 years living in the county of Essex.
Noel achieved his A-Levels in Art & Design with ease but due to the necessity to earn a wage at the earliest opportunity, art colleges and a fine art degree at university weren’t an option for the artist.
Upon leaving school, Noel expressed his interest in hip-hop and graffiti by becoming involved in the street art scene in the late 1980s, working under the tag name ‘Juice 84’.
Another turning point for the artist during the 1980s was the opportunity he was given to work with accomplished artist Michael John Hill; an artist famous for misty landscape paintings that captured the essence and atmosphere of the early morning English countryside.
With Hill filling the role of mentor, Noel was working under his guidance and was introduced to oil paint and acrylics, helping Hill to paint the misty backgrounds of his landscape pieces. In working in this manner, Noel developed a strong interest in abstract expressionism.
Noel’s muses tend to stem from growing up at a time when media was brimming with supermodels such as Cindy Crawford and Linda Evangelista, amongst many other iconic beauties that the artist enjoys exploring and depicting in unique ways.
Committed to making his Op Art pieces stand out amongst others that share the similar traits of being black and white, he learned about and incorporated the method of diamond dusting, giving his artworks an added significance and richer quality of depth.
Frank Pretorius
UK based contemporary artist, Frank Pretorius, has been painting full time since 2018. Born in South Africa (1974) he grew up close to nature, which influenced his art from a young age. His drawing eventually gave way to studying graphic design, fine arts and later filmmaking.
Whilst he never stopped painting and drawing, his two-decade long career in advertising has hibernated the childhood dream of painting full time
.After moving to the UK, Frank decided to make the leap and take up painting as a career. "My career in film and advertising may be slightly winding and alternative, but this was my journey and I am forever grateful for it because it changed my perspective and the way I interpret my subject material. Compared to the work I created as a young artist in my twenties, I am now far more partial to material and techniques that bring movement and depth of field into my work, much as you would have in a film. My style is all about capturing a moment where paint, canvas and a digital film frame meet" he explained
Jack Vettriano
Jack Vettriano was born in Fife, Scotland in 1951. After leaving school at 15, he followed his father down the mine, working as an apprentice engineer. He later moved on to white-collar jobs in management services. Vettriano took up painting as a hobby in the 1970s when a girlfriend bought him a set of watercolours for his birthday and from then on, he spent much of his spare time teaching himself to paint. He learned his craft by copying Old Masters, Impressionists, Surrealists and a plethora of Scottish artists.
Helen Allen
Helen Allen is an extraordinary example of a self-taught artist.
After rekindling her love for art a few years ago, Helen bought herself some pencils and a pad that has ultimately led her on an exciting ever changing journey. After a time, she transitioned to painting and a new passion was born. Subsequently, Helen began to sell pieces of her work, so she decided to take the bold move and make painting her full time career.
Helen loves to explore an array of colour palettes in her work, using her unique style of painting to demonstrate her ability to blend hues effortlessly. This contemporary style of abstract art has been produced using several mixed media techniques to create texture and a base, which is then predominantly finished with layers of oil paint. No two pieces of Helen’s art are the same, with each painting depicting a unique and truly exclusive viewing experience.
Helen is a Berkshire born artist where she still resides with her family.
Katie Day
Katie has had a love and fascination with the natural world from when she was a young girl. This passion is reflected in the works she creates drawing on her inspirations from wildlife, landscapes and the beautiful colours she sees in everyday nature and the world about us.
Having experimented with different techniques and mediums over the years, Katie has more recently played to her strengths using Alcohol inks & acrylics and is enjoying the potential of these wonderful mixed media. With the fluidity and vibrancy as well as the unexpected spontaneity, the results in these bright coloured and dye-based paints can produce amazing textures and unique effects drawing the viewer into her world.
Katie's style is to combine the looseness of fluid art but with a focused realism as this allows her to both be free and deliver detail together. The unpredictable nature of the inks can offer some outstanding results that captivate. In addition to these media, Katie likes to embellish and enhance the works with the use of metallics, adding another wonderful dimension to the viewer, and caught in the right light reveals some truly wonderful results to each work in turn.
Henderson Cisz
Henderson Cisz is quite simply the quintessential artist of urban style. Like the cities he paints, his artworks represent a meeting place between the traditional and the contemporary, for while they are classic examples of a long established genre, their interpretation and execution places them firmly in the 21st century. Exhibiting his work all over the world, Henderson enjoys a large following of individual and corporate collectors and has received an impressive range of accolades and awards including the John Solomon Trophy and Artist of the Year in 2007. He has also been the subject of two best selling art books.
Born in Brazil in 1960 Henderson began to paint seriously in his teens. He began to gain something of a reputation locally and by the mid-1980s he decided to leave Brazil and take up painting full time.
Sherree Valentine -Daines
herree Valentine Daines has been at the forefront of British art for over 35 years – a truly remarkable achievement. Over this time she has been variously described as ‘the face of modern British impressionism’, ‘artist to the stars’, (Daily Express) and ‘the finest figurative artist we have here in the UK” (Art of England). Her exquisite paintings have been exhibited at such prestigious venues as the Tate Gallery, the Barbican and the Lord’s Museum and is held in many private collections all over the world.
As well as her many original paintings and limited editions, Sherree has released a beautiful, highly-illustrated hardback book, Your Days, My Days, now in its second edition, and a series of stunning bronze sculptures which have become highly desirable collectors’ items. In 2019 she was appointed Artist in Residence to Cunard’s Three Queens, the ocean liners Queen Elizabeth, Queen Victoria and Queen Mary 2.
Rebecca Lardner
Rebecca Lardner is one of the UK’s most highly sought-after and collectable artists. In 2008 she was voted the best new artist in the UK by the nation’s art galleries, and in 2010 she was named as the UK’s Artist of the Year. Since then her whimsical paintings have been featured widely in the media, demand for her work has soared and she has been dubbed ‘the modern day L.S.Lowry’.
Rebecca’s quintessentially British style originates in her Dorset upbringing; although much of her early work is figurative, her love of the distinctive coastline has been the mainstay of her success. Her upbeat scenes portray the lively world of the traditional English fishing village from a contemporary standpoint, with an irresistible combination of quirky humour and technical panache. The timeless subject matter gives these pieces a singular charm and the marine element is accentuated by the distinctive palette that never strays far from the blues, greys and greens of the ocean.
While her enchanting harbour scenes retain the style and colours that have made them so well-loved, there are always new elements in each collection; beach huts, farm animals, art galleries and hotels perfectly situated overlooking the bay…. Her departure into the world of sculpture has also contributed to her ongoing success and status in the art world.
Trained in art to degree level, Rebecca forged an early career in illustration, but her future as a fine artist was always inevitable. .
Yuvi
Yuvi describes himself as a graffiti inspired pop artist saying: “The street as the graffiti artist’s main source of inspiration makes the work accessible, authentic, and relatable.” The animation and vibrancy in each work takes us straight back to the streets which inspired them, and has won him exhibitions and admirers in places as diverse as New York and New Delhi. We are proud to introduce his work to the UK for the first time.
Yuvi combines traditional techniques with digital technology. His characters and their settings are formed from paint, printed paper cuttings, layers of old newspaper clippings, sketches, silk screen prints, various glues, inks, spray paints, sand, glass fragments and more. He often uses his bare hands which means he has an intense physical relationship with every piece he creates; to look at his hands after a day in his studio is to understand his dedication, passion, and love for his work. The finished composition is intensely tactile and the spectator is invited to feel the work with their own hands.
Duncan Palmar
Born in Hampshire in 1964, Duncan Palmar had a love of painting and drawing from a young age, stating at school I would try and find any excuse to go to the art room. He first sold his work as a means to pay for driving lessons, when he would paint pictures of peoples homes before approaching them to buy his work.
Palmar has since gone on to experience phenomenal success, with several sell-out exhibitions to his name and an ever increasing following of enthusiasts and collectors.
Fabian Perez
As one of the foremost figurative artists of our time Fabian has become an exceptional global entity. Over the years he has explored many different paths in his search for greater self expression and artistic truth and his work brings together a broad range of life stories drawn from many sources close to his heart. From the geisha of Japan’s flower towns to the couples who haunt the night clubs of Buenos Aires, all these characters have a story to tell of their disparate and intriguing lives.
Andrew Kinsman
Artist and musician Andrew Kinsman sold his first piece of artwork at the age of 12 and in the intervening years has not only painted commissions for celebrities and royalty but has also performed with English Rock Band Kasabian and recorded soundtracks and albums with Noel Gallagher. What an incredible CV!
From a young age Andrew drew inspiration from a collection of books his parents owned called 'Great Artists'. Within this collection, he was drawn to landscape painting – particularly to works by English Romanticist painters John Constable and J.M.W. Turner. He also became interested in the use of symbolism and the incorporation of mythology used by the Pre-Raphaelites and the Aesthetes of the 19th century.As his art progressed and his technique became more refined, Andrew focussed on the 17th century Dutch School where he discovered a profound appreciation for intense colour palettes, the capture of drama, and the realism associated with – and accomplished by – the Dutch Masters.
Andrew had his first major exhibition at The Victoria Art Gallery in Bath, aged 21 but at 25 years old, he abandoned art to focus solely on music and for several years concentrated on developing his musical talent and knowledge. He began with the saxophone and would eventually learn to also play the clarinet, flute and piano.
