Hello, we are Right Hemisphere
Right Hemisphere are three passionate artists, creating in a number of genres and mediums. We are keen to exhibit our work to as wide an audience as possible. With that in mind, we have decided to create our own opportunity, a show in a home venue
Our first exhibition was
DOMINION the other summer exhibition
We were open for one weekend in May 2025 but we aim to be back bigger & better in the near future.
The domestic setting may give viewers an insight into how the artwork may fit into their home. A relaxed setting will benefit both artists and collectors
Our aim is to celebrate the work of local artists, who create in a variety of media.
We held a professionally curated exhibition, including a number of events, facilitating interactions between artists and collectors
13 artists were represented in the exhibition, including both 2D and 3D artists

What Alison says about her work.
I enjoy working with the theme of the human condition, often choosing to work in clay as it is such a responsive medium.
The human figure, human stories and historical information often inform my work, I enjoy exploring the light and shade of lives lived.
I am self-taught and over the past 10 years have exhibited my work in London, Kent, Essex and Suffolk. I work in a small home studio in Essex where I also teach ceramic skills on a one to one basis.
Some of my work is held by Southend Museums and Historic England and I am a member of The Thames Group of Artists.

What Natasha says about her work:
I am a self-taught linocut artist, based in Hadleigh, Essex. As well as being an artist printmaker leading printmaking workshops, I am also a full-time mum and part-time teacher. Each print begins as a meditative carving – I love the rhythmic process of cutting lino and how it offers a calming escape from my hectic, everyday life. Through my art, I hope to capture the surreal, the everyday, and the deeply personal. My more recent work explores the interplay between nature, whimsy and human emotion, often weaving storytelling elements into my pieces.
Julia Hart

Julia Hart is a mixed media artist working in inks, acrylics, watercolours, & print media.
Based in Benfleet, Essex she finds the everchanging views, light & landscape of the Estuary a constant source of inspiration. She is also greatly inspired by animals, photographs, myths, poetry, art processes and concepts.
Whatever the subject it is always through the prism of colour. Her work is largely impressionistic as she seeks to create the emotional response a subject can generate.
Julia has been a (mostly) self-taught artist for seven years. Recently, attending a Print (Etching) course at the Royal Drawing School, London.
Julia is now delighted in 2025 to work from a studio at HOFS. Visitors are very welcome – just contact her for a time you would like to visit.
Theo Hennessy

Theo Hennessy is a traditional artist. His medium is primarily ink and brush pen which he uses to create detailed illustrations. His work explores themes of mysticism, fantasy, the supernatural and the mythological amongst others. Strange creatures and characters live in the vivid worlds he creates on paper. Surreal and abstract faces are also a common theme.
Bronwyn Oldham

Bronwyn Oldham lives in the estuary town of Leigh-on-Sea and is an avid, floral fine art photographer, as well as an enthusiastic gardener, trying, where possible, to cultivate & grow the flowers she photographs from seed or bulb.
She studied a combined Media & Analogue Photography BA Hons Degree at De Montfort University, back in the early nineties; a time when the medium of photography had yet to undergo the complete digital revolution of recent years. Then in 2000, she decided to re-train, discovering the new wonderful techniques and endless possibilities of digital photography to further liberate her practice.
Heavily influenced by the paintings of the late twentieth century American painter, Georgia O’Keefe, as well renowned photographers such as the late Robert Mapplethorpe & Imogen Cunningham, Bronwyn uses camera techniques such as a soft focus and short depth of field, with a combination of digital edit software, to develop a more painterly effect within her work.
She is a regular exhibitor in The Leigh Art Trail; has work in private
collections across the world and gained her Licentiateship from The Royal Photographic Society in 2012.

What Vadims’ says about his work:
My work exists at the intersection of surrealism and abstraction, with nature serving as a recurring theme in many of my pieces. I am fascinated by the interplay between the organic world and the abstract, and my paintings often blend dreamlike compositions with non-representational forms, creating visual narratives that challenge the boundary between the real and the surreal.
Mike Slade

Michael Slade Wood Art started in 2020 and features individual artisan hand crafted wooden pieces created in my workshop in Westcliff. I hand turn items on the lathe and craft items by hand using a variety of techniques so every item I make is unique. Wherever possible I use locally sourced materials which have been selected for their quality and sustainability. I enjoy breathing new life into old wood, and I frequently recycle wood that would otherwise be burnt or disposed of to create something completely new which has purpose and is pleasing to the eye.

What Nicola says about her work
My mosaic works celebrate the coastal landscapes of South East England, with a particular focus on the estuaries. Each mosaic piece is inspired by the textures, light, beauty and drama of this ever-changing sea and shoreline.
The work invites viewers to contemplate the subtle strength and resilience of this vast landscape, experiencing its varying moods through the choice of colour and material. My journey as an artist is one of continuous exploration and appreciation of the ebbs and flows of the river, and the land it shapes.

What Gill says about her work
I am predominantly self-taught, having received no formal art training but gain plenty of inspiration and knowledge from the interesting courses and demos I attend.
My home studio is in Thorpe Bay where I am lucky to be close to the Estuary which provides me with fabulous views for my mixed media collages. I enjoy spontaneity, seeing what develops along the way. My aim is to capture light, colour and texture with a variety of papers, paints, inks and pastels, adding subtle text to catch the eye.. I create ethereal watercolours in a similar way but these are from my imagination. The unpredictability of the medium provides shapes which I alter and merge until happy with the outcome.
In complete contrast, and in a method which takes much concentration, I draw detailed pastel and charcoal portraits of people and animals. I aim to capture character and enjoy the challenge this way of working provides.
