Artist Statement
Visit Long Eaton Art Room to meet and buy from a diverse range of six residents artists who are opening up their studio spaces over the bank holiday weekend.
Minifi - Print maker (www.facebook.com/minifisoddities)
'I am an Artist based in the Long Eaton Art Rooms that works in Lino. I enjoy using a range of materials when creating my lino prints, as I enjoy my work to have different layers and textures. I adore doing pieces that involve mythology, nerdology and an alternative outlook on life.'
JD Surface Art - Mixed Media Artist (www.facebook.com/Johannedaniellesurfaceart)
'The work I create conjures up majestic scenes of unusual plant forms, landscapes or animals, whilst keeping some form of abstract elements to allow the viewer to create their own interpretation and connection to the work.'
Kim Fowler Illustration and Fine Art (www.kimfowlerillustration.co.uk & www.facebook.com/kimfowler.illustration)
'My work is inspired by fantasy, fairy tales and myths and my style of illustration is heavily influenced by the fluidity of the Art Nouveau movement. I like to create windows into another world and to allow the viewer the opportunity to get lost with in the details.'
Ray Gumbley - Photography (www.raygumbleyphotography.com & www.facebook.com/ray.gumbley)
'The Magic of Light , Dreams and the Imagination – Creating, inspiring and believing in fine art photographs which transcend time and place that can be treasured for generations to come!'
Mary Graham - Jewellery/ceramics (email: [email protected])
'I knit fine stainless steel and coloured wire into one-off sculptural forms, which are equally at ease lying on the windowsill or pinned to clothing.
I also make jewellery and sculptural forms in porcelain clay.'
David William Sampson - Ceramics (www.davidwilliamsampson.com & www.facebook.com/davidwilliamsampson)
'Inquisitive anthropomorphic forms with forest animals alongside an unnerving combination of feelings for the young. To feel that natural maternal instinct or pity for the flawed, the lost, misunderstood or damaged.'
