Louise Mitchell
Louise Mitchell is a master of capturing the beauty and essence of nature in her paintings. Her use of vibrant colours and intricate brushwork brings her seascapes to life, transporting viewers to serene and captivating natural settings. Each of her pieces is a testament to her deep connection with the environment and her ability to translate that connection onto canvas.
Col Ritchie
Col is known for his bold and expressive paintings and sculptures. His works are characterised by their dynamic compositions, rich textures and vibrant colour palettes. His atmospheric landscapes evoke peaceful harmony, while his charismatic animal sculptures provide a sense of adventure and fun.
The body of each sculpture is individually handcrafted from clay, kiln fired and hand painted. Natural resources are incorporated into each sculpture after firing, thus providing a distinct organic quality to each piece. Each sculpture is truely a one-of-a-kind creation, that cannot be replicated.
