Award Winning Artist

Jean Haines ASWA

Exhibition of original watercolours and workshops

5-15 March 2010

Winner of the Anthony J. Lester Art Critic Award and the SAA Professional Artist of the Year - Abstract and Experimental Painting Award

        

Emotion is easily observed in Jean Haines' paintings which are created in a loose style incorporating fine brushwork, a technique Jean gained whilst living in Asia.  Use of colour, knowlede of pigment interaction and a sheer passion for the medium allows Jean the ability to capture the essence of a subject in a way that is intiriguing to the viewer inviting them to enjoy what they don't see as much as what they do in her work.

A collection of Jeans' latest paintings can be seen at The Market Street Gallery between 5 and 15 March and

there will also be a rare opportunity to attend an exclusive workshop focusing on watercolour techniques with the artist.  Limited places available.

From Cornwall to Cape Town

and a few places in between

Cicelie Fry

Inspired by her travels this vibrant exhibition of original paintings by Cicelie Fry features various locations including Cornish coves, Welsh mountains, French barns and Table Mountain.  Where ever she goes Cicelie takes her sketchbooks drawing the scenes that inspire her and from these creates colourful and rhythmic paintings.  Experimenting with watercolour, collage and ink she uses layers to achieve rich colours with depth and warmth.

Matthew Longman has a unique painting style and as well as producing a great likeness to his subjects he believes the simple mark making porcess and the beauty of those marks to be intrinsic to art.  He endeavours to make every area of the painting as interesting as the overall image.  Matthew can undertake commissions, working from either photographs or sittings.  Please contact the gallery for more information.
