Catherine Laura Ward

Catherine Laura Ward is an emerging Artist based in Wells after finishing her Fine Art Degree at UCA Canterbury. Having studied for a semester abroad in her second year of University in Spain, Valencia, this helped Catherine to develop personally and artistically through living in a different culture. This inspired Catherine to travel in 2010, which has been a great source for her artistic practice, ‘I work in different mediums of fine art specializing in Oil Paintings, Drawing and have been experimenting with photography. I am inspired by my everyday experiences and see my work as being a continuing conversation with the world around me. Many topics of conversation in my work discuss Memory, journeys, and existence.’

Linda Pattrick RCA

Linda works mainly in oils but sometimes in acrylics, using a palette knife and lots of impasto gel. Inspiration for her paintings often comes whilst walking her two black labradors through the pinewoods or along the beach at Wells-next-the-Sea where she lives. Jasper and Paddy often feature in her work; Linda loves watching them frolicking in the water or chasing throught the pinewoods, her landscapes usually have a dog in them. Linda also enjoys painting boats, harbour views and still lifes, particularly flowers because of their wonderful colours and shapes. As a former knitwear designer, Linda is always inventing new colour combinations to try out in her paintings and spends ages mixing the exact right shade. Linda describes her paintings as joyful, full of colour and life and hopes you will enjoy them too!

I have been living between Nottingham and Wells for nearly ten years now.

I have been painting for some years, but only seriously in the last few years now that I have more time to do so.

In the past I painted mostly in watercolours, but now I use mainly oils, as I love the effects I can achieve.

Landscapes are my main interest, though I also do portraits.  I especially enjoy doing sunrises and sunsets, because of all the symbolism attached to them.  I also love the effect of light and water, so the sea often features prominently.

This year I am wanting to do a lot more flower paintings, as I love the bright colours.

Margaret Matthews

I moved to North Norfolk in 1985 and studied printmaking at the Norwich School of Art and design from 1987 to 1990.

My printmaking method is etching, for me this is about mark making. The etched mark has a happy uncontrollability about it, a quality of the unexpected. Etching is also about a light and dark which is mysterious, sometimes it shimmers and sometimes it is totally opaque. Sometimes it works but more often than not it doesn’t. It is very long winded and obsessive, once you get hooked on etching it is hard to give up.

My work is situated in the North Norfolk land and seascape – An interpretation – a thought.

Margaret is part of the Norwich Print Fair.
