CHRISTINE DACK. Christine paints in oil on canvas or board; occasionally making monotypes or collagraphs to help to simplify areas of paint. Christine says " I enjoy the texture and colour of vegetation, winter being the best vehicle for this; seeing the bare bones of landscape forms and minutae of twig, bleached grass, bracken and bramble forming a tapestry. I am interested in working towards a more enigmatic and abstract portrayal, giving a feel of moving through this changing vista, creating a sense of mystery, making a satisfying visual experience using sensitive colours and compositional balance."

MILLIE WOOD SWANEPOEL. Millie now lives in Pitchcombe, near Stroud, but was born and raised on an isolated farm in Zimbabwe. Africa is at the heart of her work and illustrates an appreciation of the wildlife that has been lost and remains, and of the boundaries between wildlife and humankind. Millie was a fine art painter and sculptor before becoming interested in ceramics and now works principally in ceramics and mixed media including found objects such as bones, teeth, wood bark, metal etc. All pieces are handbuilt and most are fired to stoneware. They include abstract work, both outdoor and indoor sculpture and Humour, trying to capture the character and essence of animals. Millie has exhibited around the world including Japan and the UK including the V&A Museum and others, in Surrey, Suffolk, Hampshire, Devon and of course Gloucestershire.
