| Michael Atkin The people in Michael’s etchings give scale to the landscape, a chance encounter, a moment of unbridled passion, an amusement of some sort. Each image has its own story to tell. Images evolve from brief outline sketches made in sketchbooks; back in the workshop the image is refined/ altered to fit the narrative. The process itself is what gives rise not only to the imagery, but to how it is developed. |

| Barbara Braithwaite Barbara tries to capture the mood or atmosphere, colours, shapes and spatial relationships rather than a representational image, the essence of place. She now makes creative glass as well as painting, working in pastels to capture quick images. The light coming through the glass is very exciting changing the colours and moods with its own lights. |

| Brian
Pike Online Brian creates his unique, jewellike paintings using special mixed-media techniques of his own devising. Impossible to reproduce in print, they combine rich, lustrous colours with subtle, shifting textures. His subject matter is as individual as his painting style. Some of his deceptively simple pieces depict mysteriously empty landscapes touched by fading light. Others are visions of a quirky fairytale world populated by a cast of bizarre characters. Defying categorization, Brian’s work is strikingly contemporary, yet never loses sight of the traditional values of careful, painstaking craftsmanship. |

| Andrew Cheetham Since moving to Scarborough, Andrew became interested in documenting the fishing industry. In 2004 he began using a baiting shed on the harbour’s West Pier as a studio. At first the fishermen were wary – thinking he was checking their quotas when stood sketching them – but they are now used to him drawing them at work and he has enjoyed being out to sea with them. The sea is a constant in Andrew’s work. Constantly changing, constantly inspiring. And it is literally on his doorstep! |

| Gatie Gill Katie uses an eclectic mix of media – acrylic paint, inks, wax, found objects and other everyday materials. Her inspiration is taken from the world around us – our lives are spent amongst a bewildering clutter of sights, sounds, events and encounters with people, which are reflected through her collage paintings. Collage offers a unique excitement though its tactile versatility and ability to subvert meanings. |
|||
| Frank Gordon Frank Gordon is a painter. He works mainly in oil on canvas but occasionally with acrylic on canvas or paper, on a range of scales. The majority of his work relates to his experience of the countryside in his local Yorkshire Dales but with frequent forays further afield, both in Britain and abroad. As a lifelong walker, he has covered most of the long distance paths in Britain, as well as major routes in the Alps and this experience informs the approach he takes to his subject. |
|||
| David Hall A painter, David Hall works in watercolour, acrylic, oil and pencil, mainly subjects drawn from nature. He takes his inspiration from the beauty, diversity and reality of the natural world and from a strong sense of place within the environment. Feeling it important to maintain a connection between man, land and nature, he hopes to represent subjects and their habitats as though the observer is part of the whole and not dislocated from it. |

| Lisa House My work is inspired by colour, especially the seasonal changing colours we experience each year. Colour is the motivational aspect for me and is a concentrated subject in itself. Exploring this is an ongoing process in the development of my work. I am most interested in creating light and atmospheric effects using colour. Space and balance are also important elements of my work in achieving successful compositions. My work is heavily textured to create richness and depth, and is built up using oil paint, beeswax, twigs and other natural found materials. |
|||
| Lesley Coates Jones Lesley’s paintings are optimistic and celebratory. Not seeking to imitate life, they anticipate and share the unexpected. Abstract and semi-abstract, the work is informed by her interest in theatre, music, dance and literature. She has an ongoing fascination with ancient signs, texts and alphabets, and the alliance between painting and language which enriches and sustain her work. The drawings are sourced from landscape, organic and manmade forms and support the structure of the painting, underpinning its philosophical concerns, encouraging viewer participation and intrigue. |

| Hamish Marr Hamish Marr’s approach to making art has evolved over the last 20 years. Over this time, research has led him to use 3d modelling packages as an extension to his drawing in the making of virtual 3d objects. This “digital sculpture” has been made possible by the leaps that both processing power and software innovation has taken in the last decade. It has allowed him to visualise in the computer’s virtual space and in amazing ways, to scale, duplicate and distort and then apply materials that have no real world equivalents to produce photo-realistic images as an outcome. The images are inspired by an island upbringing, they are beautiful, isolated, enigmatic and at times frightening. |

Mckee ... he paints
the odd picture My paintings depict my working class roots and life. My father worked in the steel works and my mother in a bun factory. Both lived a hard life and passed away early as a result. I like to give my subjects an air of loneliness and reflection. The medium that I choose to paint in is emulsion which is applied to MDF board. |

| Nancy Murgatroyd Nancy Murgatroyd creates work in oils, acrylics, pastels, textiles, embroidery and collage. She is inspired by the visual richness of the world around her and relishes the opportunity to look at a subject in a fresh and concentrated way. Her aim is to engage the viewer in the experience by using rich and vibrant colours, textures, rhythms and energy. The subjects dictate her approach. Flower painting may enlarge one bloom to a grand scale. Subjects can be refined to abstraction to capture their essence. Her work is a celebration of vitality, contrast, harmony and life’s mysterious quirkiness. |
|||
| Ina Pickard Ina Pickard places much emphasis on drawing skills and her works traverses abstract and figurative painting. She works in oil, watercolour and mixed media, relishing the different characteristics these materials present. Some of the work is representational such as the opera themes in watercolour and pastel. Other work depicts highly personal semi-abstract interpretations of the figure, still-life and the landscape. She has worked as artist-in-residence at Opera North. |
|||
| Sue Slack Sue creates powerful paintings, inspired by the beautiful landscape in which she lives. She believes that her intimate knowledge of the Moors and Dales strongly influences her work. The rhythm of the land and the pattern of fields fascinate her with their contrasting colours and textures. Sue’s paintings are a direct response the different moods imposed on the same landscape by season and weather. |
|||
| Richard Snowden Richard Snowden has drawn, painted and sculpted using all sorts of tools and media for the last 40 years. However, this last year he has mainly painted and regularly shows his electric, spontaneous new work around the region. He has many avid collectors, worldwide and locally. |
|||
| Sue Strange Sue Strange is a painter inspired by landscape, both natural and built. Textures in the landscape provide a framework, which is worked over with closely observed colour relationships. Patterns in the landscape created by walling and the changes of vegetation are often apparent in her work. The weather is influential in dictating mood and atmosphere. Sue also enjoys painting horses in a colourful contemporary style. She mostly works in oils, but also uses watercolour, inks and acrylic in mixed media pieces. She is currently working on a series of paintings inspired by seasonal changes of moorlands near her home. |

The Missing Project
- Art By James Paterson |

| Clothylde Vergnes
To Clothylde, the range of colours and forms found in nature is inspiring. Although her range of subject is varied and includes flowers and still lives, she has recently concentrated on landscapes with a particular empahasis on the semisymbiotic relationship of buildings, land and sea on the North Yorkshire coast. These paintings are inspired conceptually by Paul Klee’s notion of taking a line for a walk, and in practice by stained glass design, which imposes boundaries on changes of colour. Thus treading a fine line between spontaneity and formality, these landscapes are painted in a studio from loose sketches. |
