Diane Barrett
I have never been formally trained as an artist. I went on to purchase a kiln and have been experimenting ever since. I am always looking to experiment, trying different ways of using glass. My inspirations come from everywhere. I see something and think this could work in Glass, then give it a go. I joined SEAS Open Houses in 2017 to see if my work would sell to the public. |

BERESFORD Susan
07958397794 I graduated from Brighton Polytechnic with a BA (Hons) Degree in Illustration in 1987. I mostly work in acrylic or pencil and ink wash. My work can be seen in books, packaging, shop windows, on mugs, plates and walls too! I work primarily in the fields of Editorial, Design and Advertising, and have considerable experience in designing and painting murals, and working as an Artist in Residence in schools. I returned to Brighton for a six-week residency at the Brighton Evening Argus, to produce a colour supplement, a portrait of the newspaper for their 120th anniversary, as part of the Year of the Artist. These images were later reproduced as murals in the Newsquest Company offices. I illustrated a revolutionary interactive touchscreen system for educational purposes at Metis physiotherapy centre, co-owned by Ian Wright as well as a ten-meter mural for their state-of-the-art Dance Studio. I have exhibited work at Alexandra Palace, Battersea Town Hall, Bernard Weatherill House, and many other venues including Le Pinardier, Deal. |

Jayne BROUGHTON MA
My passion is for colour & texture. Inspiration comes from the sea & coast, sunrise & sunset, nature & landscapes. I use a diverse range of media to create a selection of art & craft works to realise unique designs or individual pieces. I like to make only one, or maybe two, of any one item. My work includes Paintings/Wall Art; Bookmaking; Luxury Knitwear; Handcrafted Felt & Silk items; Beaded Jewellery; Cushions, Silk Scarves & Bags made with hand-dyed fabrics; various Decorative Gifts. Born in Dover, I moved to Maidstone when I got married and now – semi-retired – have moved back to the coast. This area is definitely ‘home’. The last 16 years of my working life have been creating commercial leisure interiors for an architectural practice near Maidstone. During this time, I gained an MA in Three Dimensional Design in 2003/4. |

87 Golf Road, Deal CT146QD I have always had a love of the printed image. My earliest days I would have my head in a magazine or a newspaper transfixed by the type and photographs on the page. I studied lettering, typography and graphic design at Medway College of Art but always had a love of photography and enjoyed combining these forms together. My natural route was magazine design and I joined a publishers in 1972 as promotions designer. I learnt my trade quickly under the guidance of some talented designers. I finally found my dream job in 1976 when I became art director for a London publishers allowing me to combine my love for typography and photography. I now have the time to follow my passion, behind a Nikon camera creating images of my choice photographing the Kent coastline, stormy clouds, architecture or abstract composition. I hope you find my work intriguing, better still inspiring |

Pam CUTLER
My watercolour and gouache paintings explore fluid line and vibrant colour. I also work with mixed media, sculpture and different types of print-making, including stone lithography. My current paintings are based on the figure in movement and I am also inspired by the natural world and the effects of light in landscapes both in the UK and abroad. After completing a Fine Art degree at Kingston, I participated in group exhibitions in London and contributed to various Public Art projects. I took a degree in the History of Art at London University and taught portraiture and sculpture in adult education. With a PGCE, I taught Art in secondary schools. I was interested in developing the artistic creativity of deaf and special needs children and became Head of Art in a school for dyslexic children. In 2004, Barrington Stokes commissioned me to write a series of accessible Art books on major movements of Art. Walking in the Kent countryside and along the beautiful coastline has inspired recent work and I use photography to capture my observations of landscape and the natural world. I continue to deepen my understanding of the human form through life drawing and my practice of Yoga and Tai Chi. |

Alan DAVIS Painter & Printmaker 01304 375905 alanbarrydavis@yahoo.co.uk His Art teaching qualifications were gained at Stockwell College of Education, Bromley,(1965-68) where he specialized in screen-printing fabrics. After a teaching career in Art Education, he is now painting and print-making in Kingsdown and West Cork. On retirement he returned to screen-printing and more recently uses a combination of woodblock prints on fabric, enhanced with vibrant oil-colour. This has produced a range of images reflecting his deep interest in Celtic, and other ancient cultures, together with the local heritage of Deal’s environs. His landscapes illustrate vernacular architecture and the passing of traditional rural life. He has recently explored digital media to compose more complex collages and prints from original works. |
| Andrew DAVIS andy.davis14@icloud.com (07813) 663252 After becoming seriously ill and having to stop work in the theatre, I decided to enrol in a local adult education Art Class.

Desi DIMOWA I work with driftwood, sea debris, upcycled and recycled materials. My name is Desi Dimowa. I have a Master’s degree in Chemistry and this together with my love to nature, gave me the inspiration to use recycled materials in my works. I enjoy walking around beaches near my home on the South Kent coast, collecting driftwood and other debris let by the tide. Led by the shapes and forms of these materials, I create unique sculptures, usually animals or coastal scenes. Instagram: @ddimowa |

Josie HARVEY josieonthecoast@gmail.com https://www.instragram.com/josieonthecoast/ I have always had a huge passion for art and now am lucky to have the time to devote to it after many years of teaching in further and higher education. Originally I am from Northampton, but have lived and worked in many parts of England including Harrogate, Sutton Coldfield and Holmfirth. After being landlocked all my life, I moved to Walmer on the Kent coast three years ago and was immediately inspired by the stunning seascapes and the beautiful coastal settings. These have been the basis for many of my creative projects. I enjoy painting local coastal scenes and landscapes in watercolours. My latest project is a commission of a local building using this medium. Over recent years, my work has encompassed collaborating with local school children and adults in painting a commemorative banner for the new Kent Mining Museum. Recently, I have working alongside a specialist movement teacher to capture her own choreography. Much of this work has been portrayed using pastels and ink linocuts. |

Elsa HUNT
Nietzsche thinks of art as the very founding experience of life. While at university her work was about domestic settings, traces of family life and the objects that we surround ourselves with. At the moment it’s her love of colour and flowers that take centre stage. Her love of art also extends to others and she volunteers at The Arthouse Meath in Godalming Surrey, a social enterprise where adults who suffer from epilepsy and varying degrees of disability and learning difficulties produce art. Elsa Hunts BA in fine art was taken at UCA Farnham where she juggled her degree with looking after her husband and 3 children. |

Painter & Sculptor My Passions are dance and the landscape in painting, mixed media and sculpture.I have always been interested in movement since studying ballet and being a dancer. I love to bury myself in the subject and see where that takes me. Living in Kent for over twenty years, I love the atmosphere of seaside towns, the power, movement and amazing colour of the sea, the cliffs and the rolling hills. I find inspiration in the ever changing beach, sea and the ancient landscape. I have work in private collections in America, France and England and enjoy the interaction with people, who with their interest and insight contribute to the creative process.

(44) 7842330137 https://mollylambourn.wixsite.com/mollylambournartistk Molly Lambourn is an Award Winning Kent based Artist. Her inspiration draws upon self-exploration, nature and poetry. She experiments with various mediums, ranging from illustration and painting to textiles and ceramics. Her art is raw, expressive and challenging. She critiques and analyses both her life and society and how art is a mechanism for escape and happiness in a world driven by profit. ‘Art is freedom, a cathartic method of expressing the brutal, beautiful and raw realities of life. Through illustration, painting, ceramic and textiles, art has allowed me to express my experiences with mental health, understanding of self and the contradictions between beautiful surfaces and unpleasant realities’ |

I use a variety of medium for differing subjects, such as figure, Land and seascapes, and I am particularly drawn to coastal scenes. I like to work from life, and find using water-based paints especially apt for the diversity of washes and subtle effects possible; allowing spontaneity in the process. |

Neil PETTIE
Neil Pettie is a Scottish painter who has only recently moved from his home town of Edinburgh to spend his retirement years seeking inspiration along the beautiful Kent coast. He has been painting seriously for around 18 years, having completed a three year painting course with the Open College of Art topped up with regular stints at Edinburgh College of Art Summer School. He is primarily a landscape and seascape painter but before leaving Edinburgh became fascinated by the local flora in all its guises, particularly spring and summer poppies. Using his innate sense of composition and colour balance he creates semi abstract works which invariably are easy on the eye. He has exhibited in such far flung locations as Essex, Surrey, Edinburgh, Inverness and Rome and has the distinction of having sold one of his paintings in a Royal Scottish Academy exhibition. |

Julie SUMNER
Pastel painter Julie Sumner lives near Deal and creates ‘Drawn Paintings’. Various techniques have been developed using a mixture of chalk pastel, graphite, charcoal and paint. The canvases are hand made by the artist from cutting the wood, to pinning and stretching the fabric over the frame. Paintings are often created in a series that is time based and are in response to the changes of light and weather in the local landscape and by the sea. ‘Sea Scroobles [orange: teal] 2.2019’ (image shown) is made from a selection of sketches drawn directly in front of the sea in response to its flow and rhythm. If ‘drawing is taking a line for a walk’ (Paul Klee) then – in front of the waves the line goes for a hop, skip and a jump. After a career and bringing up a family, Julie Sumner graduated from the University of the Creative Arts (UCA) Canterbury with a 1st Class Honours degree in Fine Art and won the Watts Gallery Winsor and Newton Painting Prize for her expansive, colourful and whimsical ‘Doodle Series’ paintings in Summer 2017. She is currently working towards a Fine Art MA |

David C. WHITE Potter, Tutor Ceramic Artist Welcome to a brief biography of me, David White. Over forty years I have made various types of ceramics since I graduated from Ravensbourne College in 1962. I thoroughly enjoyed the four years on that sculpture and ceramics BA course. There were extensive facilities then to use various media; clay, welded steel, bronze casting and stone carving. On leaving Ravensbourne I completed a post graduate Art Teacher Diploma at Leicester which left me suitably positioned to begin teaching and to making ceramics to sell. I developed a range of pottery thrown ware and sold it locally very successfully, often in craft shows or pottery party’s. The sculpture was created as handbuilt pieces using a coarse gritty clay, crank. I’ve also enjoyed many successful exhibitions in libraries, galleries and Open Studios. My work has shifted as tastes and outlets develop. For a time I made production runs of commemorative mugs and pieces for English Heritage, tourist information centres and the occasional wedding. Jules Holland’s was one with 30 medieval jugs to adorn the venue at Cooling Castle. My present work has two paths. I’ve developed a series of dishes depicting either swifts or mackerel. It’s quite intricate with various stages of decoration using coloured slips fired at stoneware temperature of 1280°C in my gas kiln. I am also making new sculptures of landscapes for Open Studios. I am enjoying participating in the Deal Festival and responding to live music with my ceramics. |
