DARREN HAYMAN
"Darren Hayman was born in 1970. When he was young he loved comics and thought he wanted to draw them when he grew up. Then he changed his mind and went to Maidstone College of Art in 1989 and got a degree in illustration.
Then he changed his mind again and formed a band. Hefner became a beloved cult band support by Radio 1 DJ John Peel. Hefner made four albums between 1998 and 2002 and toured the world.
Since Hefner Darren has released over 20 solo albums on various subjects including the East Anglian Witch Trials, Astronauts, William Morris and Thankful Villages.
Darren never stopped being interested art and was designing the artwork for his records but 2015 he started painting again in earnest. He would paint small watercolour postcards and give them to friends and then move on to sell them.
During the 2021 lockdown Darren started painting night scenes as well as taking up painting in acrylic on hardboard. "I decide to make a concerted effort to become a painter of light. It was the first time I made a conscious effort to dig deeper and become a much better painter."

SHIREE ALLEN
I am a visual artist using traditional art methods and technology to explore interplay between contemporary and traditional art processes.
KEITH KNOX
I paint in watercolours because I try to evoke the softness and blurred edges of the landscapes as I see them. My scenes are of the sea, rivers, land and sky - places I know and love, or those I imagine. The yachts and barges I paint emerge from a lifelong love of boats. My paintings have no hidden meanings - they are just views of the world and the colours and shapes it gives us.

It is practised in Nepal and India. It is known for its primary colour usage and detailing. The detailing is done using traditional nibs and natural colours.

LOVERS ROCKS
Hi! I'm Miranda and I absolutely love beautiful rocks. I collected my first stone on a trip to Aberystwyth Beach when I was four. 39 years later and my collection is still growing strong! We're talking everything from sand and pebbles, to fossils, carvings and hulking mineral specimens. When you consider the amount of time it took for them to form, one realises that there's something really magnificent and humbling about them.
I want to bring the wonder and beauty of rocks into your sacred spaces, so that you can have a truly ancient piece of the earth to study, admire and show off.
Lots of love

My Ghanaian Love Affair...
My name is Karen Miles and I love Ghana and all things beautiful - so naturally, the handmade glass beads from Krobo are some of my favourite things in this world. Let's face it, I'm more into these stunning creations of joy than a lovingly made bowl of Jollof (and that's quite a statement).
I visited Ghana for the first time in 2006 and fell in love with the country, the people and the art. I came home that time with a bag stuffed with jewellery, wooden crafts and paintings. It was only when I stayed in Ghana for the year in 2010 that I visited the bead market and became obsessed with these handmade and handpainted glass creations from Krobo in Central Ghana. I had found my true love. I came home that time with my bag stuffed to the brim with all kinds of beads imaginable...and that was the start of something very special (and borderline obsessive).
Since then, I have been making jewellery and accessories from these beads whilst growing my ridiculously large collection and nipping back to Ghana regularly. Different designs will constantly pop into my head and I get lost in making the designs come alive.
The beads, their design, their history and the expertise of the artisans making them are all incredible and through designing and making affordable and unique jewellery, I hope everyone can admire and appreciate this part of culture and history from Ghana.
