Gallery
Laura Lunn and Sarah Maskrey
Oil Paintings and Acrylics
Laura Lunn and Sarah Maskrey, both based in Knighton, have very different approaches to their work yet they still sit well together in juxtaposition. Sarah's oil paintings enjoy capturing the feel and soul of a person or an animal
whereas Laura's work is a bout creating a story in acrylic and ink where busy architectural landscapes tell a tale or two in vibrant colour. 'If there is movement we still exist'.

Steve Brooks
Paintings and drawings
Local artist, Steve Brooks, has expanded on previous works that explore the relationship between what we see and what we know, or think we know of the visual environment and how other fields of study explain and notate the same.
By studying a small area of the Hereford lanscape, through direct observational paintings and drawings from the landscape, from the minute to the overall study of maps, historical records and other material pertaining to the area, the work gives a fresh and informed perspective and the way it impacts on all of us.

Gareth Evans
Acrylic and oils on wooden and found objects
Painter and illustrator Gareth Evans expresses his interest in people and their environments through his work. Each pice captures a transient moment, quietly illustrating the beauty that can be found in the everyday. Gareth works primarily with oils and acrylics on a variety of surfaces
these are often found materials happened upon and acquired by chance not unlike the moments his work conveys.
