Artists featured

 

Brian Whelan

The Times calls him “a theologically provocative maverick artist.”

Carolyn Reeder

Carolyn Reeder loves colour, texture and paint. The boldness of drawing directly with a tube of paint, or spreading paint with a palette knife, or designing with the brilliant iridescence of dichroic glass – all contribute to her artwork.

Dee Nickerson

Dee Nickerson's insightful images of friendship and life in rural East Anglia come together to produce a delightful greeting cards range.

Delia Tournay-Godfrey

Delia Tournay-Godfrey's painting is a direct response to the world around her.

Elaine Nason

Always on the lookout for something special in ordinary life, Elaine Nason's paintings and prints capture (and greeting cards too!) us at our truest.

Honor Surie

Figurative and landscape painter and sculptor.

Karen Jones

Using strong colours in gouache, Karen Jones creates paintings and greeting cards that are full of narrative and stories.

Maggi Hambling CBE

Maggi Hambling's paintings of the sea show extraordinary vitality and brilliance of texture. They are amongst the best things she has done, and they are getting better and better. - David Scrase, The Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge.

Maureen Jordan

For years now Maureen Jordan has built a reputation for her richly-coloured pastel paintings of flowers and gardens. Green Pebble publishes some of its favourites as greeting cards.

Peter Baldwin

Peter Baldwin's work innovates within a modernist tradition.

Ruth McCabe

Brought up in an era when enjoying the outdoors was an honest reward for a day's hard work, Ruth McCabe continues to find joy and peace in the fields around her home.

Serena Hall

The seaside town of Southwold has provided Serena Hall with a wellspring of inspiration since moving there at the age of twelve; so much so, that Serena has started her own gallery in the heart of it.

Tessa Newcomb

 With her ability to capture rural life in small, humorous paintings, Tessa Newcomb has become one of Suffolk's best-loved artists. Green Pebble is thrilled to be working with Tessa on a new range of greeting cards.

Theronda Hoffman

As the owner of Kesgrave Arts and Picture Framing, a gallery on the outskirts of Ipswich in Suffolk, Theronda Hoffman lives to paint and paints to live.
