Faye Bridgwater is a Brighton-based contemporary artist creating original paintings & drawings. Faye specialises in abstract landscapes: she makes marks using objects she finds on the beach; from fisherman’s knots and driftwood to feathers and bottle tops.
Rebecca Louise Law is known for creating immersive installations with natural materials. Preserved flowers have become the signature of her most recognised works. Individually sewn and suspended, viewers are often invited to navigate through them, discovering the diverse forms, colours and textures of each specimen. These colossal works are intentionally equivocal and while themes of symbolism, consumerism, sustainability and life cycles often present themselves, the artworks also provide a harmonious sense of place for rest and contemplation takes precedence.
Emma’s work is rooted in a lifelong love for the natural world, drawing inspiration from its beauty through careful observation. She aims to capture the magic in simple, everyday moments—whether it’s a quiet walk in the woods, time spent in the garden, or a bunch of flowers picked for the kitchen table.
As a self-taught printmaker, she celebrates the art of mark-making, using hand-printed techniques to explore the lines, colours, and textures found in nature.

Now based in Bristol, Grace continues to develop her work, focussing on bright, graphic designs, and more recently creating a series of small edition ‘reduction’ prints from her home studio.

Ceal Warnants graduated from The Royal College of Art MA in 2008. Her work explores the dark side of British culture focusing particularly on ideas of youth and innocence.

Charlotte Hardy is a painter and illustrator working at Clockwork Studios in South London. Charlotte graduated with a first-class BA (Hons) in Printed Textile Design from Manchester Metropolitan University in 1999. She has sold in galleries nationally and has had her work published internationally. Her work is held in a museum collection and is collected across the world. She has worked with Anthropologie, Penguin Books, Waitrose Food Illustrated Magazine and Nina Campbell. Charlotte has been the artist in residence at The Affordable Art Fair and run workshops at the Victoria and Albert museum in London.
Charlotte has a fascination with pattern, interpreting it in a playful and illustrative way. Shapes are refined into a subtle pattern and there is an ornamental flatness. Still life objects are a celebration of rich decoration. A love of drawing from observation with an energetic and expressive line defines the work. The compositions and use of space have a sense of stillness and simplicity. The contrast between abundance and a pared-back approach is a constant theme.
Inspiration comes from outsider and folk art, the spontaneous and directness of children’s art, museum collections, the interiors of historic houses and the garden.
