Bridget Baker

I studied Zoology at University but only started making wire animals after retirement.  Each figure is made from galvanized wire which is then painted with enamel paints.   I usually only make vertebrate animals -  fish, amphibia, reptiles, and a wide range of birds  and mammals, standing about 10 - 12cm high.   People’s pets are popular and are based on photographs that people e-mail to me.

Pat Betts

 I love using colour and texture in my creations, exploring mixed media.  Often incorporating re-cycled materials I like the challenge of avoiding waste. I enjoy painting landscapes especially featuring water, either lakes or  coasts. When sailing I have the opportunity to see the coast from the sea. Walking on various headlands I can find a different angle to sketch.

I regret that I have little new work this year, but I will be having a Sale of earlier work - mostly at half price.

Folk Art and flowers are the inspiration for my work. Using fine worsted thread, combined with linen and cotton threads, I crochet with a tiny hook to create delicate flowers which stand on stems or become elements of brooches.  I also like turning scraps of fabric into appliqué pictures decorated with embroidery.

Vikki Yeates

 I am an illustrator living and working in Bath, although I spent many years in Brighton, where I did a Degree in Illustration in the early 90s.
My artwork can be divided into 2 categories:  British Wildlife, particularly the hare; and dark, eerie illustrations
Most of my commercial work these days tends to be wildlife, but I still like to make them appear dark and atmospheric.  The hare is a constant source of inspiration for me, having so many meanings and stories from all over the world.
