" I’m Lauren, from Bylaurenward. I’m an artist and secondary school art teacher. I predominantly paint using encaustic, oils and pigments and I’m very much driven by the process of my practise which is ever evolving.
I love to play with colour relationships, exploring harmonies and contrasts within my work.
I’ve recently begun to be inspired by places, my favourite being the sea. I aspire to create paintings that evoke a sense or feeling of a place through layers of translucent wax."
We have a range of Lauren's prints, jewellery & coasters available .
ARTISTS
Tipperleyhill are two artists; Abi and Roz who work together on each and every piece to create paintings on canvas.
Abi studied at Chelsea College of Art and Roz at De Montfort University. The pair met whilst working together at a textile design studio in New York and grew to discover a mutual love of colour, pattern, illustration and the arts.
On returning to England to have their families, they worked out a plan that would enable them to explore their creativity and see more of each other. Tipperleyhill was born. Abi is based in Leicester and Roz in London.
Their passion is to paint contemporary landscapes, abstracts and florals. By working on two canvases at the same time, they swap from one to the other, or sometimes paint on the same piece. This illustrates their mutual trust in each other and how their collective energy comes together to create something entirely new. They work in mixed media.
We have a range of Tipperleyhill's prints & cards available

Heather is an award-winning artist based near Howden, whose work is sold through galleries across the north of England and Scotland.
Heather specialises in palette knife work, applying many layers of acrylics to capture the country’s ever-changing moods and atmosphere. Much of her work is inspired by the dramatic coastlines and countryside of the north, but also includes figurative pieces, many of them large scale, inspired by music and dance.
‘There’s something very spontaneous and exhilarating about working with a knife and I’m always discovering new techniques and finishes. I mainly use acrylics because I enjoy layering and manipulating them to create depth, vibrancy and texture to the work.’
Heather’s paintings and limited edition prints also sell privately both in the UK and abroad. She runs workshops and accepts commissions.
When she is not painting – which isn’t often – Heather works as a freelance journalist for national and regional magazines. Heather is a committee member of East Riding Artists.
We have a range of Heather's prints available

"Hi everyone!
My name is Judy and I’m really excited to be part of this fabulous new art space along with so many brilliant artists.
As a painter, I am inspired by my time spent in nature. I love to document landscapes using observation, reflection and imagination: interested in the way seasons and light impact on the vastness of the land, water and skies. Little lanes and country houses. Walks in picturesque places. Memories captured."
We have a range of Judy's prints & cards available
CERAMICIST
"I started my love affair with clay when I was at school. Where my art teacher ran an after school club. I got a Saturday job in a local pottery, which allowed me to have my work fired. The older I got the more I was hooked. Finding inspection in every thing and where I went. I attended night classes, until I saved enough money to buy a second hand kiln.
My love of pottery just grew and grew. Making a tiny pottery in the bottom of my garden in Sutton on Hull, that's where I can always be found."

“ Born in the south of England and living in the north, Rae has always felt her life calling is to be an artist.
In 2014 she began life modelling at various local classes and this passion for drawing and studying the figure led her to do a Postgraduate degree in Fine Art at Leeds Arts University in 2020.
Her work is informed by her love of history, including the Dutch Golden Age (17th and 18th Century), Greek mythology and English history. She is influenced by women artists throughout the ages. Her recent thesis titled ‘How has the role of the woman artist changed since 1900?’ brings to light the struggle women artists have faced in becoming recognised artists and the struggle that still goes on. But she also looks to male artists, citing Henri Matisse and his understanding of colour as a crucial influence.”
We have a selection of cards by Rae at Botany Boutique.

CREATIVE
"I make Beeswax candles from recycled vessels- bought locally from Beverley's High Street. Repurposing unused items and giving them a new lease of life, as something beautiful.
Beeswax has lots of wonderful natural properties, such as de stressing and purifying the air particles around us due to its negative ions. y using Beeswax, you get the added sweet smell of honey alongside the fragrances we use. All handmade and decorated with dried flora, crystals, locally picked sea shells and gold leaf. Each designed to enhance the beauty of the unique vintage vessel.
Our moto is to Reduce, Reuse and Recycle and our Packaging is all re usable and recyclable. And by repurposing the vessels, lowering our carbon footprint.
Flames of Beverley was recently awarded a 'Best of Beverley' Award "for supporting local good causes and charity shops, by purchasing items from them to repurpose as vessels for homemade candles. Not only does this support local charity shops, but also shows how a local business can be founded on recycle and being environmentally friendly."

Having studied at Edinburgh College of Art, Helen exhibited in Scotland and New York before returning to East Yorkshire and applying her skills to teaching. She now splits her time between teaching art and painting from her home studio.
“Experiencing the landscape is my starting point for creating but my paintings are essentially abstract. My work is a visual response to the multi-sensory experiences imprinted in my memory: sounds of nature, movement, the euphoria of a run and the energy of the coast. I love to play with colour shifts, saturated and desaturated colour and layers. Expressive marks and energetic lines celebrate the freedom and joy that I draw from the landscape.”
We have a range of Helen's prints, cards and small original paintings available

METALWORK DESIGNER
"Hi I’m Ollie.
I live in Hornsea and I own a steel fabrication business, based in Beeford, United Steel Fabrications.
I always loved my art lessons in school, and went on to do an A-level in art. Despite my interest in art, I went on to work in welding and fabrication at my dad’s business in 2010. Fast forward to opening my own business alongside my brother in 2020, I found myself with a little extra time on my hands as we went into the first covid lockdown. It was during this time I started getting a little creative with my steelwork, creating custom metal wall art, sculptures and various other types of ornaments and decorations."

PRINTMAKER
"I’m Clare (aka Curiousinkyme) I have been printmaking in the East Midlands for over 20 years and have a background in Fine art. I am passionate about creating beautiful original artwork that can empower and inspire.
Elements from many printmaking processes have come together to influence my linocut style. I create limited edition artworks combining the figure and nature. Rich oil-based colour works in harmony with thin Japanese paper, the prints are fragile yet strong; and surprisingly tactile. I love to leave evidence of the process of the artwork's creation, marks of carved lino create life and energy. I am deeply interested in being present and living with curiosity, I make art that celebrates our humanity while reminding us to reconnect with nature, and go with the flow.
I believe that filling our homes with beautiful artwork can remind us to slow down and embrace the present moments of ornaments and decorations."
We have a range of Clare's prints, jewellery, bookmarks & affirmation cards available.

My biggest passion is being out in the countryside, right in the middle of it all, and my colourful textured painting is in some ways just 'what I bring home.' "
