DesigNE Jewellery
Stand B25
My jewellery is crafted from polyester resin and incorporates metals into the mix. The flow patterns derived from alternating layers of blending colours, interrrupted by obstacles of chiefly aluminium sections, produce a highly decorative, contoured effect, which I believe to be totally unique.

Estella Scholes
Stand E24
Estella finds much of her inspiration from walking in coastal locations in Wales, observing the eroding actions of wind and wave on rocks, breakwaters, ancient settlements and washed up beach debris. This provides a rich source of subtle colours, textures and ambiguous forms, their original shapes worn away almost to abstraction.

Jo Thirlwind
Stand E24
I love playing with perspective and Illusion and many of my paintings breaking the rules although that is not always immediately apparent- which is part of the magic. This is why I call it REAL SURREAL ART, as its looks real but can turn out to be quite surreal.

In my art I use psychology and dream imagery to convey messages about the world and human experiences. I believe that what is painted is more important than how, but I also value skill and beauty. I typically paint in oils in an intricate style.
