a sudden rust-brown flit-dance of deer ...

The Artists
Jane Keay
Watercolour, pen & ink
Jayne is a professional artist, illustrator and art tutor, born amongst the hills and valleys of the borderland between Mid Wales and the 'Shires, where she now lives. She works in a variety of media but mostly in pen & ink and watercolour.
Her inspiration is derived from the effect of changing light on landscapes, to which she responds with emotion and spirituality, often using imagery and symbolism connecting with her Celtic roots.
Sarah Jameson
New Media, nature monoprints, pen & ink drawings, hand-made books, greetings cards
Sarah lives in South West Shropshire and the landscape of the area, with its rolling hills and steep-sided valleys sometimes clothed in sessile Oak woods, inspires
her work.
Sarah works in digital media incorporating photography and drawing to make pieces that can be other-wordly. She also works with wildflowers, leaves and grasses making nature monoprints.
Simon Jameson
Acrylic paintings, drawings, hand-carved natural stones
Simon (Sarah's husband) attended Brighton Art College many moons ago and has led a creative life ever since although exhibits only very occasionally. He will show some new paintings, drawings and bring a selection of carved fern stones.
... and deep in her
waving black throat
wrens chirr and fern falls
underfoot your way lit
by enchanter’s
tiny sparkle-lights ...

... Our grey trunks
Soar from buttresses
We host parties for starlings
Lend lookout posts for owls
We far see, and
Breasting moonrise and moonset
Ride the creaking earth
As she turns
