Karen Heywood |
|
| Biography |
|
After leaving school, Karen attended Stockport College of Art where she won two local competitions for designing programme covers, and received her first commission designing and illustrating a school wall chart. At Leicester College of Art, where she studied for her Dip AD, Karen was awarded a Bursary award by the Royal Societyof Arts as a result of winning a national competition.
Her career as an artist has involved illustrating books for publishers such as Penguin, Hamish Hamilton and Collins. She has also animated on Dangermouse, Duckula and the BFG for Cosgrove Hall Films. Other work has included teaching illustration and design at Salford College of Art, and painting a children's mural at Bolton General Hospital. From 2000, Karen spent six years as an Art Therapist, working with cancer patients (Christie Hospital and Beechwood Cancer Care Centre), children in care and community groups. It was during this time that she became inspired to develop her own creativity and consequently decided to rent a studio at Vernon Mill. Although her illustration background is often apparent when looking at her paintings, Karen's main interest lies in exploring the realms of her imagination, i.e. emotions, dreams, symbolism and fantasy.
Sources of inspiration arise from daily walks in the High Peak, life drawing, as well as the works of such artists as Carlo, the Pre-Raphaelites, and Alan Lee. Karen's work has been exhibited in centres such as Stockport Art Gallery, Buxton Museum and Art Gallery, Glossop Heritage Centre, Broadstone Mill and Vernon Mill. |

Karl de Vroomen |
|
| Biography |
|
Karl de Vroomen’s paintings invoke unresolved narratives and an atmosphere of mystery. Familiar or banal scenes are underscored by a sense of disquiet or déjà vu that lends the apparently insignificant with an air of threat. His practice is frequently inspired by man’s interventions within the natural world and these unsettling images simultaneously convey anxiety, hope and the artist’s love of paint.
De Vroomen received a distinction from the Newcastle University MFA in 2009 and has exhibited at various venues throughout the UK. |

Katriona Beales |
|
| Biography |
|
Katriona Beales is a visual artist interested in the dialogue created by the spaces in between disciplines. Hence her work includes collage, installation, sculpture, assemblage and sometimes all of the above combined.
Much of Katriona's work has a wider social conscience and is concerned with exploring society’s patterns, repetitions and anomalies. Recurring lines of enquiry include: exploring inter-national and cross-cultural relationships; identity and whether or not it is dependent on geographical specificity; how super-modernity is shaping not only our experience but also our epistemology; and enjoying histories embedded in spaces and objects.
Living in Liverpool, UK, since 2001, Katriona is now based in the Bluecoat. She is a member of Axis, the online index of contemporary artists in the UK.

|
American
Keith is an artist and teacher of long standing on the west coast of the US. His practice involves a multitude of media from painting to printmaking. Since the 1960s he has also taught at a variety of art colleges and private studios in California and Oregon.
His recent works are all wonderfully abstract compositions drawing upon the magnificent scenery of California and Oregon. As Keith puts it these “are born from the world around me, and, through some mysterious journey, are transformed into images caught in time onto canvas or paper.”

Solo Shows:
2008 - Liquid Assets Gallery, Ashland, Oregon
2008 - Harper Howell Gallery, Grants Pass, Oregon

Keti Shalamberidze |
|
| Biography |
|
b 1960 Tbilisi, Georgia
Graduating from Tbilisi State Fine Art Academy in 1986, Keti already has an impressive record of exhibitions, both in Georgia and across Europe.
Her work is executed in bold, expressive drawing with rhythmically interchanging color and line. Part figurative, part abstract, rarely depicting any concrete phenomenon or subject, these are expressions of her thoughts, feelings and emotional experiences, each one a means of communicating her impressions of her world. |
