Julie Wade: \u201cI\u2008absolutely love colour!\u201d<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\u201cI\u2008love colour!\u201d says Julie Wade, a painter, as if it wasn\u2019t clear from her beautifully bright contemporary canvases. Julie has served as the chair for this year\u2019s Rutland Open Studios for 2023, having completed an Art Foundation course before progressing to complete a Fashion & Textile Design.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was diagnosed with MS in 2007 and decided to concentrate on painting,\u201d adds Julie. \u201cI joined the Rutland Open Studios approx 15 years ago exhibiting in Wing Village Hall with a group of people I hardly knew but the Open Studios artists have become since, a valued group of friends. I now have my studio at home and I\u2019ve been exhibiting my work from there, in Uppingham ever since.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMy usual work has been described as joyful. It is bright, colourful and eclectic always painted in gouache paint because I love the colour saturation this paint gives.\u00a0 I have had to use my creativity differently this year. My MS has made it difficult to control a brush, but I\u2019m working on it!\u201d<\/p>\n

Andrea Naylor: Professional pastel artist…<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Cottesmore\u2019s Andrea Naylor is a self-taught professional portrait artist specialising in pets, people and wildlife. After 20 years of experimenting, observing, drawing, painting and now teaching, she is very passionate about her work.\u00a0 She says, \u201cI feel compelled to pass on my knowledge to help others by promoting confidence, courage and inspiring people to simply have a go.\u201d<\/p>\n

Andrea predominantly works in pastel, a very subtle medium that is great for creating the reality of fur and skin. Working in a \u2018realistic\u2019 style ensures that she captures the likeness and character of her subjects \u2013 dogs, cats, horses and of course people.<\/p>\n

She also runs several workshops, private lessons and demonstrations to pass on her own knowledge and passion for working with pastels.<\/p>\n

Hilary Moralee: Inspired by landscapes, wildlife & people…<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Hilary Moralee\u2019s love for illustration and design has taken her in many directions from working as a graphic designer and illustrator creating countless logos, brochures, advertising campaigns and product designs for clients around the world. Now though, her focus is on painting and creating art from the subjects that inspire her in the natural world.<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause of my working background I find myself experimenting with different mediums and styles,\u201d she says. \u201cSo when ask \u2018what do you paint,\u2019 it\u2019s best to just invite people to visit my studio! They will see paintings in oils, acrylic and line drawings, illustrations of wildlife that are also on ceramics and mosaic art.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI love detail in my paintings and illustrations but occasionally I will get the pallete knife out or attach a brush to the end of a bamboo stick and enjoy the freedom that it brings to my work… that\u2019s the joy of art!\u201d<\/p>\n

Ingrid Hunter: Potter…<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Ingrid Hunter has been a potter for nearly 30 years and works with a variety of clay techniques, especially throwing and slip casting. \u201cDecorating ceramics is fascinating and endless for design,\u201d she says. \u201cI\u2019m particularly interested in silk-screen printing, applied sprigs and pierced ware. I take a lot of my inspiration from textiles and ancient pottery forms.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cCeramics has also led me to working in glass and for the past fifteen years have been kiln casting and fusing glass using my pottery kiln. Glass casting is an exciting and versatile process involving chunks of glass melted into a mould, where it solidifies \u2013 the mould is then broken to reveal the glass \u2013 followed by a lot of polishing \u2013 making every piece unique.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMy studio is at my home in Cotterstock, near Oundle.\u00a0 I offer one-to-one tuition in ceramics and glass \u2013 tailored to suit students\u2019 needs.\u201d<\/p>\n

Suzanne Harry: Landscape paintings evoking the essence of a place, rather than the literal…<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Suzanne Harry\u2019s subject matter is the Great British landscape, particularly Rutland and the vast skies and beaches of North Norfolk, although she does travel a little further afield. \u201cI am drawn to inland wilderness areas such as Cumbria and North Yorkshire,\u201d says Suzanne. \u201cI paint landscapes in oils from small studies made en plein air, evoking the essence of place rather than the biographical. I\u2019m influenced by the work of JMW Turner, and particularly by my search for sfumato (softening the transition between colours).\u201d<\/p>\n

Suzanne is also a member of Leicester Society of Artists and is the Secretary of Welland Valley\u2019s Art Society.<\/p>\n
