Michelle Parsons
Michelle is a practising artist with a degree in Fine Art. She specialises in oil paintings on canvas working with interior designers, restaurants and private clients worldwide as well as offering regular workshops. Michelle works from organic forms including lobsters, fish and birds. Her style has an adaptive reverence for the subject and yet does not rely on it; elevating the forms with bright use of colour and suggestive mark-making. The resulting pieces are proud declarations of colour and expression. Colour, depth, texture and contrast – does is matter if it looks like a lobster or a fish? Not really…

Caroline Poole
Caroline was born in London but now lives most of the time in Suffolk. Caroline trained with the painter Nahem Shoa in the Carlos Duran method, a technique used by Velazquez. It is a way of painting from life that focuses on seeing the tone, shape and colour as a whole; painting what she sees and not what she thinks. Caroline works whenever possible en plein air directly onto the canvas, mostly in oils. She has recently been recording the pine trees and defences along the coastline around Bawdsey which are rapidly disappearing due to erosion. She is inspired particularly by the work of Constable. Her work has been included in several museum shows across the country including Christchurch Mansion, Ipswich and galleries in London. She is represented by Gallery East in Woodbridge and has work in many private collections around the world.
