Brilliant, definitely not just another art book’

Artists featured

 

Anne Lynch

Stories and myths interest Anne Lynch, such as the stories about spirits being held within vessels. Issues around caring and nurturing, laced through these stories, also arouse her curiosity regarding everyday objects and their prominence within our lives.

Ben Platts-Mills

Ben Platts-Mills takes chainsaw and gouge to his new wood-sculpting projects....

Bob Broadley

Figurative and landscape painter based in Suffolk.

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.

Emma Cameron

Emma Cameron’s paintings explore the nature of Selfhood, and in particular the pull within the Self between vulnerability and potency. Expressive use of paint acts as a metaphor for this struggle.

Gillian Marklew-Allen

When Gillian Marklew creates sumptuous images of women - whether asleep or in water - it is difficult to believe that they are created using watercolours alone....

Helen Herbert

Contemporary landscapes, seascapes and figurative paintings, from studies, sketches and plein air working in Norfolk and abroad.

Honor Surie

Figurative and landscape painter and sculptor.

Lesley Croxford

When Lesley Croxford felt a need to break away from the confines of working in her studio, she took herself off to Egypt and Syria.

Mark Burrell

Influenced by a childhood rich in experiences and observation, Mark Burrell’s imagination accompanies him as he weaves every scenario with clues to the personality of his subjects.

 

Mohammed Djazmi

Darkly evocative, Mohammed Djazmi’s etchings and oil paintings confront difficult social and political themes including corruption, fanaticism and suffering. 

Peter Baldwin

Peter Baldwin's work innovates within a modernist tradition.

Sandy Sykes

Sandy Sykes was born in Yorkshire and is a painter, printmaker and maker of artist’s books.

Susan Heath

Responding to a deep-seated admiration for the farming community in which she lives, Susan Heath uses her love for figurative drawing to capture a raw but poignant moment when circumstances out of his control forces a farmer to wait and see if disaster will strike his livestock.

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.

Tessa Spencer Pryse

Past, present and future all seem to merge in the contemplative expression of the sitter in Tessa Spencer Pryse’s portrait Anne Marie. Like all of Tessa’s paintings, this portrait seeks to capture a spontaneity that belies hours of sketching and study, thus capturing not only who the sitter is, but whom she may grow up to be.
