LIZZIE COULTER: Shape, form, colour, tone, texture & light have always been my artistic focus. Playing with mediums to make them work differently to their nature is fascinating. As a painter-printmaker I investigate the natural world & local landscapes, with diverse results. Nature also inspires my jewellery, using beach finds, shells, leaves & flowers alongside reclaimed silver, whilst vintage semi-precious & glass beads, & antique cutlery also feature. The resulting work is colourful, lively & engaging.

LIZ DIXON: Whether creating a sculptural piece or a textural canvas, my art is inspired by nature & the recycled materials around me. Textiles & texture are the common themes, with designs growing organically as each theme is developed. By looking at the world specifically through the lens of shape, form & textural properties it is possible to incorporate everyday objects & textiles into my art in unexpected ways, finding that ‘just right’ item for each individual piece.
