Gillian Radcliffe – exhibiting from Flaxdale House, DE6 1QA
My large expressive, colourful and dynamic landscapes and seascapes are inspired by my travels in Europe and beyond, as well as by the beauty of Derbyshire and the Staffordshire Moorlands. I work with watercolour and mixed media to create the illusion of light, water, texture.

Evie Burlinson – exhibiting in the Memorial Hall
Nature at its most beautiful and most dramatic, colours light and shadow, atmosphere, spur me on!
Lucy Burlinson – exhibiting in the Memorial Hall
Working mainly in watercolour, I am inspired by bright, free flowing colour.
Jean Wayne – exhibiting in the Memorial Hall
I have worked in various medias, mainly oil, acrylic, watercolour and felt. I enjoy them all and I am still exploring new skills.
Lynn Comley – exhibiting in the Memorial Hall
Working mainly in felt, textiles, mixed media and free motion machine embroidery. Inspired by the landscape and the changing seasons, flora and fauna.
Carolyn Green – exhibiting in the Memorial Hall
I like to work with a range of interesting, colourful and textural media to create works of art ranging from bookmarks to larger canvases.
Gill Simpson – exhibiting in the Memorial Hall
I love working in pastel and oils but mainly watercolours, which are always an exciting challenge.
Kath Bradbury – exhibiting in the Memorial Hall
Working with parchment craft, card making, and intricate 3D work. Parchment is an ancient craft using vellum, there are many different types; white work (embossing), coloured work (different mediums) and lace work using perforating tools. There are many other ways to produce this delicate art form. It is very addictive!
