BRITZ + MCGOWAN
Britz and McGowan is a partnership of two artists: Margie Britz, who makes paintings and drawings, and Liz McGowan, a land artist working with natural materials.  They both take inspiration for their work from the detail and pattern of landscape and much of their work has evolved through walks along the coastline and through play and experimentation with materials.

All of the drawings have been made using natural materials – seaweed or starfish – as the drawing tools.  No brushes or pens have been employed.

ALEX EGAN
Alex Egan is an artist living in the Norfolk Broads. She mainly paints and draws trees. During the winter months, she will use her car as a roving studio looking for a potential candidate. When a willing subject is found she parks up and commences a few hours of intense study. With these drawings she then sometimes uses them as reference back in her studio to create larger paintings.

When the weather warms, she works en plein air doing larger scale paintings and drawings. She is a member of Group Eight, a Norfolk collective of artists and The Arborealists a U.K. and French collective of artists who depict mainly trees.

JUDITH ELLIS
Judith Ellis covers all aspects of bookbinding. More recently her work has encompassed the book form as a sculptural object. The Birdflight series is her own development of the flag book and combines a love of drawing with her lifelong interest in the natural world.

Oystercatchers fly along a beach, and swifts zoom over rooftops. Gannets fly fast fast over the sea and redshanks call over the marshes. The Birdflight series of artistʼs books can each be made to commission, but as they are all individually handpainted no two will ever be quite the same.

She explores the mysterious places that are beyond our visual plain; the depths of the sea, the roots of the earth, outer space and the continuous cycle of energy which connects them all.

JAC SCOTT
Jac Scott is a multi-award winning visual artist who investigates environmental issues.  She is interested in the cohabitation of art and science and how this relationship enriches our understanding of the world. The gaps and the differences in our experiences deliver fractured realities that profile the earth as an enigma.  To try and unravel this mystery Scott researches and collaborates with specialists from other disciplines, including scientists and geographers.  The tension between approaches, objective scientific verses subjective artistic, the latter further skewed by emotional and philosophical underwriting, creates dynamic outcomes that ignite curiosity and debate.

TIM SIMMONS

Using photography and film, he explores themes of time, motion and place, and the idea that landscape acts as a link between the past and the present. His work has a visual clarity and a quiet, reflective quality, which offers space for personal contemplation. Attempting to make the unseen visible, he encourages the viewer to consider on the constancy of the land, and our inherent relationship to it.
