Like a diamond I have many facets to the way I approach the designing of my work, with the traditional and contemporary pulling me in two directions. One side of my work is inspired by organic matter like seeds, pods, leaves, nature's garden, a wealth of colour and texture. My other approach is a playful side, creating fun pieces thinking outside the boundaries of the practical wear ability and functionality, I like to think of them as mini art forms.

I work predominantly with silver and mix media, occasionally gold. Forging, embossing, and reticulating the metal gives me the contrasting finish to the surface texture which I use to enhance the beauty and individuality of my work.

Born and raised in London, I'm a city girl, with a background in graphic design and photography. My paintings are inspired by my travels and I have a strong sense of adventure and love to explore new places.

I'm particularly drawn to watery reflections, distortions, shadows and repetitive patterns. Hopefully, when people look at my work, they can also feel that sense of discovery and are transported on that journey with me, and maybe also spark that desire to get out and experience somewhere new.

Ray Marshall was born in Lambeth and moved to Plumstead, South East London, in 1975, where he remained a local resident till his death in November 2018. Having undertaken some formal study at Morley College, tutored by Lawrence Toynbee among others, Ray is mostly self-taught. His work covers an eclectic mix of subjects, taking inspiration from nature, architecture, historical references, dance and music and the general observation of the world around us. Ray’s interests provided a wealth of stimulation as he enjoyed walking the countryside and urban settings, cross country running, motorcycling and bird watching. These activities afforded the opportunity for collecting photos, sketches and notes which provide reference material for his work in watercolour, oils, pen and ink and pencil drawings.

This wide ranging body of work has been exhibited in a number of local shows and produced commissioned works for patrons both locally as well as in America, Canada and Australia. His daughter Penny now curates and shares his collection.

My work reflects my experience of human memory, both experienced and assumed. Paying close attention to objects and artefacts that we obtain or collect, imbued with a power, to evoke past experiences and allow one to subconsciously re-live a given moment.

There is a great emphasis on palimpsest to layer my work ; Marks and gestures past and present emphasising the persistent presence of time in our lives.

I believe these are the keys to our very being. I also explore the realms of possible immortality, suggestive of the fact that something exists to bridge the living world with the dream world, in which we spend a great deal of our time and yet is always a great mystery.

I work in within two broad disciplines: analogue photography and botanical illustration.

As a photographer I have documented urban life as reflected in marches of protest and pride. Since taking pictures outside a detention camp near Oxford , through the Poll Tax Years up to the Brexit Debate and The Peoples Vote. In tandom and in contrast to this I spent my visits to my Gran and Aunt walking along the north East Coast taking pictures of the wonderful shoreline. It was when I had a bad road traffic accident that I began to draw again in my studio .

I returned to my botany this time not a scientist but as an artist and since that point have drawn plant life in all its shapes and sizes. My work reflects an understanding and love of plants and the natural world as a whole. I prefer to draw but now work in watercolour as well ( spurred on by a comment at my first exhibition.."cant you colour them in a bit? ") . I also make photograms which straddle the two mediums , and create hand painted flower photograms which were once featured in ITV 60 Minute makeover.

I currently teach in my studio , running classes in Botanical Illustration and Analogue Photography and have been based in the Lewisham Arthouse since 1993 .

My love for crafting jewellery intertwines seamlessly with my passion for nature and flowers, which has lead me to create my unique flower jewellery collection. Pressing real flowers, some of which I carefully gather and press myself, infuses each piece with a sense of authenticity and natural beauty. With meticulous attention to detail, I delicately arrange these pressed blooms into intricate patterns, capturing the essence of the natural world in every design. Using resin as my chosen medium, I encapsulate these delicate flowers, preserving their beauty for eternity.

Whether it's earrings, necklaces, bracelets, or rings, each piece tells a story of my reverence for nature, allowing wearers to carry a piece of the outdoors with them wherever they go. Through my artistry, I celebrate the delicate wonders of the floral realm, transforming each creation into a cherished work of wearable art.

I have been making sterling silver jewellery to cherish for about 8 years from my garden workshop.. it is my creative space where I use mostly tradition silversmithing techniques along with some newer ones. I take references from the materials I use along with design, fashion and vintage imagery. I love looking at traditional tattoos, vintage iconography with a “Rock’n’ Roll flavour to create my pieces.

I also take on commissions which are often statement pieces that are very personal to the commissioner.. anything is possible - here working in gold as well as silver. I always have new pieces for the weekender so please drop by and let me know what you think..

I mostly work with oil paint on paper, canvas or board, exploring minimalism and abstraction. I don’t usually map out my paintings ahead of time; working instead spontaneously and experimentally. I'm interested in experimenting with controlling the application of paint on the one hand and balancing this with allowing the paint to end up where it wants to be. Intentional vs accidental.

Originally from San Francisco, California I relocated to London in 2008 and had a career as a Landscape Architect. I've not pursued a formal art education, but recently decided to focus on developing my painting practice which landed me at Turp Art School where I’m currently enrolled and have been since Autumn 2022.

I love pattern and texture and use a variety of different techniques to create texture throughout my jewellery. My contemporary jewellery, with simple clean lines and a modern twist, is hallmarked and will look great with any outfit. The selection of Hammer Textured Silver Jewellery was handcrafted by me using traditional hammer techniques to create the subtle and delicate surfaces that you can see.

As far back as I can remember I had a passion for making and creating. I was interested in shape, texture and colour and creating objects that were individual and unique. Inspiration for my jewellery comes from, nature, man-made and organic materials and my Fine Art sculptural background.
