Annabel Barry
Annabel makes mixed media sculptures, creating her artwork in her South Essex Studio in Westcliff on Sea.
Annabel’s process
Working predominantly with wire and paper mache, Annabel, creates sculptures of animals, flowers and other objects. In these sculptures, she is expressing her love of form, colour and nature. They are objects of exploration, that will last a lifetime.
A sculpture starts with an idea and evolves through design, construction, painting and finishing before becoming what she hopes is an interesting and tactile object. Working intuitively, each piece starts with an initial outline made from robust wire. Annabel then continues to add thinner, flexible wire to stabilise what she is working on, creating more detail. Eventually a recognisable shape is formed. It can take her a few hours of fiddling about with the wire until suddenly there is a magic moment when the piece begins to finally evolve and take on a personality of its own.
Annabel’s use of the armature or structure of the sculpture becomes a part of the finished form. Her considered use of paper mache, fills some of the negative space, allowing the viewer to ‘fill in the gaps’ for themselves.

Nicola Osborne
Nicola is a mixed media painter, creating from her home studio in Benfleet.
She studied Illustration at KIAD.
After her degree, she qualified as an art teacher and taught art for 20 years. Nicola is working as a full-time artist.
Nicola’s process
Nicola is an intuitive painter. She enjoys the unexpected, emerging shapes and marks evolve the of variety of mediated. Nicola mainly works in acrylic inks and acrylics.
Her work is often, based on the natural world, focusing on colour and its effects on the viewer. An emotional reaction to the arrangement of opaque and translucent hues and pigments, is what she strives to achieve.
Nicola employs the language of overlapping and intersecting forms created in layers and glazes of multiple media. Her intention is to promote a sense a of intricacy and other worldliness.
Her paintings are firmly rooted in the connection to location. The nearby estuary landscape and its flora are the foundation of artistic exploration Using repetition of symbols and geometric shape, an abstract world is formed.

Tina Robertson
Tina is a self-taught, mixed-media artist, working in a variety of styles, from her home studio.
Tina’s process
Generally working in acrylic paint, applied with a palette knife, spray paint and Posca pens, Tina creates bold, bright and dynamic images. She also makes striking soft pastel and ink/acrylic illustrations.
As an intuitive painter, Tina enjoys the immersive freedom that these materials give her. Mark-making evolves naturally through her process, along with strong and painterly elements. Her, work is quirky, striking and far from conventional.
Her subject matter is the female form, inspiration coming from the inner strength and beauty of women.
Tina celebrates an alternative view of beauty. Her mark-making and semi-abstraction, seeks to convey, that perceived imperfection is beautiful. We should not strive incessantly for outward beauty, but embrace our ‘flaws’ and ‘imperfections’.
