Inspired by a love of nature, Heather’s aim as an artist is to engage and intrigue the viewer and draw them into her work. She mindfully explores colour and light in each painting, conscious of how these elements lift the spirit and encourage connection with the subject.
The seasons, water and changing light all provide rich influences on her art. Her paintings are an emotional response to what she sees rather than a facsimile encouraging the viewer to find something different each time they look. She works chiefly in acrylics and acrylic inks which lend themselves to working quickly and expressively with a glorious array of colours.
As well as working as an artist Heather demonstrates her working process to art societies around the UK and has also taught at the JoeDaisy Studio in Reading. She regularly exhibits at Contemporary Art Fairs, The Mardleybury Gallery and various art shows.

Denise Bowser - All You Need Is Art. Decorative, modern land-sea-cityscapes & abstracts. Acrylics on canvas and prints.
I paint land/sea/cityscapes in acrylics and oils.
For me painting is like a leap into a magical and fascinating world of colours and shapes. Once I take the plunge and start painting, I may not know where my artistic voyage will take me. This is, however, what attracts and enchants me….. and keeps me longing for more.
I am based in Hertfordshire and my works are often inspired by UK landscapes as well as landscapes from South America and Asia.
I use acrylics and mixed media in my paintings. I regularly exhibit and sell my work at art galleries and art fairs. In 2018 I won the Best in Show 2D prize in an art competition at The New Maynard Gallery, Welwyn Garden City. The NHS has acquired 16 artworks from me that can be seen at various hospitals around Hertfordshire.
My pieces are not for profit. Prints: £25 Originals: between £50 and £200
I hope you enjoy looking at my work.

I have a real passion for painting the local landscape, the views and vistas in and around Harpenden are my inspiration.

I use bright vivid colour and expressive impasto textures to try and capture the essence of a particular landscape. The Nickey Line, The Avenue of Lime Trees in Rothhamsted Park, The Southdown Ponds and Harpenden Common are my main sources of inspiration. I am fascinated by the changing seasons and how these affect the colours and moods of paintings. My technique and approach to painting has been influenced by a number of artists over the years, I admire Pissarro and Sisley in terms of their compositional themes, along with Henri Mattise and the Fauves with the vivid and exciting use of colour in their palette. I have had a series of exhibitions and one-man shows in London and the home counties, while my work has been exhibited at the Royal Academy of Arts in London and it is also represented in private collections in the USA, the Far East, South Africa and Europe.

Inspired by colour & light, Alexander’s influence comes from watching the sky and imagining the possibility of colour to use within his oil paintings.
Alexander James Gordon is an artist living and working in Barnet and is a member of the Barnet Artist.
His paintings are abstract landscapes using oils and a palette knife on canvas.
Alexander is inspired by the colour and light found in everyday travels. His main influence comes from watching the sky and imagining the possibility of colour to be used within his artwork. Alexander finds colours from small marks on objects, especially if they are worn or are slightly damaged and will play with these images and thoughts as he creates his work.
As an artist who is inspired by the ever changing sky and its influence on the colour in the world, he is very excited by the change of light which takes place in a very short period of time and the early rises of colour within the day.
Working with a palette knife enables Alexander to leave a visible mark on the canvas, this creates a subtle textural layer to the painting. He is particularly fond of the marks made towards the end of the piece as the layers of paint beneath are revealed.
Alexander is the viewer at the gallery with his nose pressed up against the painting to be drawn in by each and every mark the artist has created.
All of the paintings have the edges painted and so do not need to be framed, they all arrive ready to be hung.
Thank you for taking an interest in Alexander's artwork and we hope you enjoy them as much as he has enjoyed creating them.
