Clare Caulfield

Currently on Show in the Saltbox

Clare Caulfield from Bradford enjoyed her year at Bradford College where she completed her Foundation Studies in Art & Design. Introduced to experiment with new techniques and processes and to develop creatively in completely new disciplines including illustration and screenprinting, both of which feature very strongly in her work today as an artist and printmaker. Clare has studied at Bradford College and moved to Staffordshire University to complete her first class degree. She developed new techniques and processes that are a signature in her work. Clare uses watercolour, pencil and collage in the originals. The style of her line drawing and use of mark making that is strongly recognised also in her drypoints and screenprints. Drawing has
always been a very important part of Clare’s work. She is fascinated by architecture local coastal towns such as Staithes, Whitby, and Robin Hoods Bay, which depict a birds eye view of a fishing village, market place, New York Flat Iron Building or Parisian life outside a brightly canopied pavement cafe, from which she strives to create spontaneous lively linework. Clare’s work is on
show until April 7th 2012.

Claire West- Featured Artist

Claire is a painter where she gains inspiration from everyday objects and surroundings. More important than the objects the theme of Claire’s paintings are the colour and their contrasts. She enjoys using a combination of colours which conventionally are believed not to work. Her aim is to produce art that is uplifting and energetic to the viewer.

Kitty Jones- Featured Artist

Jointly Awarded the Maude Gemmell Hutchison Prize for her Night Herons screen print.

Kittie works as a tutor at Leith School of Art whilst continuing to produce her own work for national exhibitions.

Kittie will be donating a couple of recent monoprints including this Moonlit Pheasant  to a fundraising exhibition at Leith School of Art. It aims to raise funds for the School’s Assisted Places Scheme which allows students access to their courses who would not normally be able to afford it.

In the last year she has started drawing birds and animals directly from life. The immediacy of this method of working means you have to work quickly and be prepared to make a lot of sketches to get the information you need. The first few drawings of any particular bird are always clumsy and then you start getting a feel for its particular shape and movement. Back in the studio she will work up her drawings into prints, drawings and paintings. Kittie likes to make work that contains a narrative; this is helped by bringing out a sense of character and purpose in the animals and birds that she draws. From snatched glimpses and rapid sketches, she takes what information she has and develop these into compositions made up of layers of colour for her screen prints.

Kevin Bedford – Photographer

Prize winning piece by Kevin Bedford.
Kevin says, ‘There is nothing more rewarding than watching wildlife or seeing the sun come up over the horizon and it can be even more rewarding if this can be captured into a photographic memory that myself, and hopefully others, will be able to enjoy.’
