Paul Askew
After a dramatic and successful first show we are proud and excited to show a new collection of Paul's paintings, whose intricate observations of everyday life are sympathetically portrayed in monochrome

Ken Hildrew
Not a topographical painter, Ken seeks to convey and impression, sometimes tending towards the abstract on his interpretation of the interaction of light, air and land. A classically trained painter of light and mood, his work is renowned for capturing the essence of Exmoor and depicts the unique landscape, resulting the devoted following he has gained locally and internationally.

Rob Heard
Uniquely structured fairy-style houses built of wood, winding their way around the bough of the trees. Rob's hand hewn Bough Houses are all individually crafted and stand at around 6ft tall.

Caroline Lytton
Trained in jewellery and silversmithing at the John Cass School of Metropolitan Art, Caroline designs and makes individual pieces for regular wear or special gifts. Raised or forged silverware textured with hammers or press to create a tactile matt finish with polished highlights. Her jewellery is beaten or patterned, some with oxidised or gold details: distinctive necklaces with semi-precious stones or combined with feature beads. Caroline currently has a piece on display at the Victoria and Albert Museum, entitled 'Wild Winter Bowl'.
