Artmaking has been for me a lifelong passion. I’m particularly drawn to the effects of light and shade, both in urban and rural settings. I work across a variety of media: pencil, pen & ink, watercolour, gouache and most recently charcoal, which I’ve decided to feature exclusively in this exhibition.

Sculptural Ceramics
My introduction to pottery was through school but as I approached retirement I enrolled on an evening ceramics class. Once retired I developed my skills further and an inspirational Masterclass with Ashraf Hanna at the Clay College in Stoke-on-Trent led me to concentrate on hand-built ceramics. My current work is an intuitive exploration of form and texture finished using a simple colour palette.

Emma Bracken Synopsis
After gaining my degree in textile design, I freelanced and
designed fabrics for fashion, After some years, I lost my passion
in textiles and had a 14yr break from anything arty and raised
my children. A few years ago, I randomly ordered some
coloured pencils, after many hours of practice, pencils turned
out to be my favourite medium. I started up my business
drawing wildlife and pet portraits. I like to have an emotional
connection to my subject matter, therefore drawing animals
with soulful eyes. I get very involved, work in depth and
produce lots of detail. Commissions are most welcome.

My work revisits a classic era of 1930’s Railway poster design. Painted in gouache on paper, my style has been influenced by the artists who were famous for creating the pre-war advertising posters. I particularly admire the work of Norman Wilkinson, who I have recently discovered was an old boy of Berkhamsted School – where I worked in the art dept for 20 years. I recently sold a picture to Sir Kier Starmer of him at Downing St, and have also sold to Boris Johnson showing him at Chequers, and designed the Chesham & Amersham Liberal Democratic MP Sarah Green’s Christmas card. I received a letter from our late Queen thanking me for the picture I sent of her riding in Windsor Great Park. I paint local pictures in and around the Chilterns. I live in Tring and am chairman of Berkhamsted Local History Society and produce local history books.

I specialise in textiles working with a pictorial felting process developed over the last 20 year. Working with a range of fibres I am able to create pieces of work which can be delicate and transparent to those which are 3D and sculptural.

My landscapes are inspired by memories of the hills and seascapes of my Northern childhood. Rock strata and the colours and textures of lichen and mosses,decay, peeling paint and rusting surfaces are also constant sources of inspiration for my wall hangings and vessels.

Originally training as a draughtsman gave me an affinity with pen and ink. I have subsequently through tutorials, in acrylic, with Paul Bailey developed a love of structure and form which lends itself to the technique of abstraction in both landscape and the built enviroment. Coupled with the exploration of colour and light I have been lead to portraiture.

I find inspiration for my paintings locally in the Chiltern Hills and on my travels. I convey the intensity and the magic of the changing seasons through colour, texture and form. Using photographs and sketching plain air as a starting point, I develop my ideas using a variety of techniques and materials. Contemporary landscape painters such as, Ann Blockley and Kurt Jackson, have been an influence with their freedom of expression.
I also am a garden and planting designer.

I am a self taught artist, based in St Albans, Hertfordshire. I have loved drawing since I was a child and always dreamed of being an artist one day. Unfortunately when I grew up I never got the chance to fulfil this ambition until I reached my 40s. By chance, I started to teach myself for a couple of years. Then, I attended many art workshops and classes to develop my technique. I attended Christiane Kubrick’s workshop for a year, an insight art school for couple of years,and also visited China to attend an oil painting course with a professional artist.
During the last 10 years, my artwork has been displayed and exhibited at Mentmore Arts Festival, St Albans art exhibition, Harpenden art exhibition, Ayot St Lawrence art show, Cambridge, open art exhibition, Broadway art festival and The Royal Academy of Arts Summer exhibition in 2023.
I think as an artist it is important to paint subjects that challenge yourself. Every canvas is a new adventure, every time I start a new artwork, it is a new experience and I am constantly learning and expanding my curiosity. I paint in oils, watercolour, and Chinese Ink, with subjects including still life, landscapes,w aterscapes, flowers, pet portraits – such a wide range of subjects.
I love art, love what I am doing and creating and enjoying the journey.

Alexander James Gordon’s paintings are inspired by the colour and light found in everyday travels. Drawing influence from the sky and imagining the possibility of colour to be used within his artwork. He will find colours from small marks on objects, especially if they are worn or are slightly damaged and play with these images and thoughts to create his next piece of work.

​
As an artist who is inspired by the ever changing sky and its influence on the colour in the world, he is very excited by the change of light which takes place in a very short period of time and the early rises of colour within the day.

Alexander works in oil paint with a palette knife to leave a visible mark on the canvas, this creates a texture to his work which adds a subtle layering to the piece. He is particularly fond of the marks made towards the end of the piece as he reveals the layers of paint beneath.

Since retiring my interest in Art has increased. After attending a local ‘life drawing class’ I became hooked on shapes, form and tone which led on to abstract art. I found that drawing the human figure also led to portraits in oils which in turn introduced me to the exciting world of colour. I like to experiment and currently I am developing an interest in Notan art.

I have been a professional photographer all my life, working to a brief, a budget and a deadline. Nowadays I follow my own path, inspired by visual creativity in every medium.
I avoid conventional structures, preferring a more expressive feel, with a nod to the abstract. I’m happiest in a two-dimensional world; few vanishing points for me.

I have recently taken up digital drawing, going back to my earlier photographs as a source of subject matter, colour, and to explore composition and perspective. And as with my original photography, all in the context of the unexpected.

My aim always is to create a striking image, well composed within the frame.

My training as a Furniture Designer and Maker and then becoming a Design & Technology Teacher within the county of Buckinghamshire, along with watercolour painting while sailing around the Mediterranean with my late husband for 15 years, have all given me a wealth of creative knowledge and experience.

Jane trained at Hornsey Art College (BA Sculpture) and then at the Royal College of Art (MA Ceramics) and she has drawn throughout her life, concentrating chiefly on capturing movement.

One of the things she enjoys now is to attend Ballet Dress Rehearsals and draw ‘Dancers in Movement’ in the dark – the orchestra strikes up, the curtains open – and the auditorium lights go out. So she homes in on the stage, and just captures the movement the dancers make during each ballet. Often she adds colour very swiftly afterwards, but does not work on the drawings – or they stop dancing!

She is delighted to show her work at Mentmore and will bring some drawings from recent ballets.

We’re a friendly group of people who meet twice a month to share evenings that cover many different aspects of art. These are either demonstrations by artists in various different media from charcoal and pencil to watercolour, acrylics, or oils. Or a creative evening when we may have a theme to work on suggested by one of the demonstrations, or work on our own ideas.

Since we were formed in 1956 the aim of the Club has been to provide mutual support and encouragement, and this is still the main aim of the Club. So if you are having a problem with a piece of work, help is always at hand.

Visitors are always welcome, so if you would like to know more about us do come along one evening, we’d love to meet you.

Emma regularly exhibits throughout Buckinghamshire including opening her studio for Bucks Art Weeks in June and is a member of the Buckinghamshire Art Society.

Gill’s love of colour and pattern stems from her background in textiles.
Her current work, inspired by the natural world, is creatively developed through watercolour and mixed media.
Having given up classroom teaching in 2021 she now runs regular local art workshops through Eventbrite.
