Shaun Burgess
Shaun Burgess was born in Ipswich, Suffolk, England where he still lives with his wife and three children. He is a self-taught artist and works from a studio at the bottom of his garden. Shaun works in oils where his natural tendency towards realism and order is offset with an urge to create contradiction via abstract marks and colour. He takes inspiration from disrupted realism enjoying the interest and movement the style offers him. His works are sold via online and physical galleries which has led to pieces being shipped to collectors in the UK, America, Australia and Europe.

Deborah Burrow
Deborah has always drawn inspiration from landscapes and wildlife, influenced by her rural upbringing. She primarily paints in acrylic but also uses watercolour and ink, employing colour and textural techniques to give a modern twist to landscapes and wildlife.
For Deborah, nothing beats getting out into the countryside to find her inspiration. She finds that capturing the right moment triggers something much deeper than making art, that it nudges her soul to remember who she is and what it is that she wants to share. Deborah’s work is often called atmospheric, peaceful, and soothing.

Alison Clarke
Alison lives with her husband in Ipswich and started to paint after having been on a residential course with Wiltshire artist Steve Hall, loving his loose and expressive style. She has studied with other artists since and is developing her own particular style, loving to paint landscapes and places where she has travelled. Alison has sold paintings of local scenes including the Tide Mill in Woodbridge and is very much a developing artist. She feels there is still much to learn and discover and the fluidity and unpredictability of watercolour enables a dynamic variety of styles and subject matter.
