Tutors

Emily Ball

The focus of my work for the past seven years has been my two children. The paintings are a nonsentimental take on the theme of mother and child. My book on painting and drawing people was published in 2009 and has received outstanding reviews; from readers, the artist and illustrator magazine and Mathew Collings, artist, writer and broadcaster.

Katie Sollohub

I work primarily with my self as my subject. The space I inhabit provides an endless source of inspiration, an ever changing terrain for exploration. In drawings and paintings, installation, performance, poetry and photographs, I map the world as I experience it, using the body, objects, words and memory to tell my story.

Gary Goodman

I am a painter, printmaker and writer. I also make 3D constructions and artists books. My work is figurative, expressive and, amongst other things, I am interested in the powerful combination of both life’s beauty and its tragedy and am wholly accepting of it.

Nick Bodimeade

I am interested in how images from everyday life can be turned into paintings. My subjects include dogs, trucks, motorways, and people; down on the beach, camping, out in the landscape. In the end though, it’s the how and why, rather than the what, that’s important.

John Skinner

I now live in the South of France after 15 years of working at the Abbotsbury Studios in Dorset, England. Here I have met two sculptors and share a studio space with them. I have kept a journal since my arrival that I am now beginning to write in French. I have also made a series of tartes and gateaux, taken many photographs of objects resting in the clear canal water and begun to paint again joyously after a break of nearly two years.

Helen Turner

“My work is about the discovery of an imaginary world as well as a response to seen and felt experiences, including popular and historical culture. The interaction of a variety of materials together with the physical activity of painting itself is an important part of my work.” Helen’s work has a strong physical presence and vigorously pared-down compositions.
