Meet the Organisers
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
For Nicola, painting is more than a visual experience — it’s an emotional dialogue between colour, form, and viewer. As a former art teacher turned full-time artist, Nicola brings both technical skill and intuitive depth to her mixed media practice
Working primarily with acrylics and vibrant acrylic inks, Nicola creates layered, expressive works that shimmer with colour and emotion. Her fascination lies in how colour affects the human spirit.
Her process is intuitive, embracing the unexpected. Patterns emerge. Shapes repeat. Lines and geometry intertwine with bold washes of colour. She draws inspiration from kaleidoscopic imagery and the structured chaos of the natural world, using visual rhythm to draw viewers in.

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’.

Gill Whitehead
Gill is predominantly self-taught and gains plenty of inspiration and knowledge from the interesting courses and demos she has attended.
Gill’s process
Her home studio is in Thorpe Bay where the Estuary provides her with fabulous views for her mixed media collages. I enjoy spontaneity, not sticking blindly to the view in front of me but responding without much planning to see what develops along the way.
Her aim is to capture light, colour and texture with a variety of papers, paints, inks and pastels, adding subtle text to catch the eye.
Gill creates ethereal watercolours in a similar way but these are from her imagination and begin life as a wash of intermingling colours which she studies to see how she can develop.
In complete contrast, she also draws detailed pastel and charcoal portraits of people and animals, aiming to capture likeness and character.
WHAT WE DO
As experienced exhibitors, we are aware of how difficult it is to show work to new audiences.
Engaging audiences has never been harder, even in the age of a myriad of social media platforms.
It is our aim to showcase creativity in as many people and as many ways as possible.
We are NOT a platform for selling directly to collectors.
We are about connecting creatives and collectors through exhibitions and experiences.
We believe this will promote a healthy artistic community, encouraging long term relationships.
DOMINION: the other SUMMER exhibition, was our first in Right Hemisphere’s events. An exhibition in a domestic setting. Check out last year’s fabulous event on our page.
And now we’ve expanded both the number of artists, the amount of workshops and into a second venue, there appears to be no stopping us.
INTERSECTIONS: was our second escapade outside of the HOME venue. We exhibited with 16 artists in the heart of LEIGH on SEA Essex.
