Andrew Fitchett
Andrew Fitchett receives phenomenal success for his paintings which are now in private collections in the UK, Holland, Germany and Canada.
Draughtsmanship is at the centre of my work, but inspiration often comes from books or music as much as visual stimulation. Looking at a Franz Masereel visual story, reading Raymond Carver and listening to Nick Cave would be a good evening in for me.

SIMON FAIRLESS – Art For Gifts @ Xmas
Ok, so we had an exhibition of his 2 years ago & we also had him in as part of Art For Gifts @ Xmas in 2009 and he wiped the floor with his innovative text art, low prices, original canvases, fun photography and much more so we decided that xmas is on him this year. Brand new lines coming in. Just can’t get enough!

Di Tapping
Diana has been a professional artist for many years.
Her paintings have a vibrant and exciting approach to art. Always searching for fresh visions of her subject, she is constantly experimenting with various materials and media to produce an individual insight which stretches the mind. Her paintings are mainly produced on location, or in her studio.
Diana’s work has been described by the Head of Painting at the Royal College of Art as “enigmatic and having well-balanced colour tones”.
As a regular exhibitor at National Art Competitions her work has gained International status and her paintings hang in many private and public collections.

MAY 2011
LOCAL ART SHOW – STILL LIFE
When this goes up on the site every local artist will groan. Why do I do themed shows? Well, I like to push a few buttons and instead of dragging out something you’ve had behind the sofa for years, you’ll just have to paint something new won’t you! This year is everything to do with still life in every medium so I shall expect a lot of photography. And no, buildings are not still life. I’ll find the definition and put it up.
JULY 2011
FIENDICUS
Amazing photographic images in giant blow-ups of London’s deserted or striking buildings from this elusive 21 year old urbanite. ‘He’s like a graffiti artist but armed with a camera instead of spray paint’.
OCTOBER 2011
ANITA BATISH’S 10 DAY WHIRLWIND EXHIBITION
For anyone that’s visited our gallery, they must surely be familiar with Anita’s work of symbolic koi fish as well as other vivid pieces during the local art shows. There is a permanent place for the koi fish as they are so popular. We’ve finally put her out of her misery by putting together a ‘whirlwind’ 10 day exhibition.
