A fresh and varied exhibition of paintings and photographic art by four Wirral artists, whose works are all in strong contrast to one another in medium, style and subject. These include seascapes, landscapes and Still life

Charlotte Bird

Charlotte specialises in producing pictures which possess a period feel to them, as well as shooting cityscapes using various weather conditions. Her period photographs are strongly influenced by pre-Raphaelite painters and photographers. Charlotte uses period clothing to add atmosphere to the shots. Some of Charlotte's pictures are shown below and mre about her can vbe found on her web site - Charlotte Bird Studios

Painting with fabric describes her technique whilst the subject matter can range from bizarre costume figures to the strict discipline of architectural commissions, with animals somewhere in between for sheer pleasure and fruits and vegetables for the gourmet.

Her pictures have sold worldwide. She also gives illustrated talks and holds workshops, finding the response from pupils helps to develop her own ideas and techniques.

David Wilson

David works as a marketing consultant and graphic designer/ illustrator. He has been painting for the past ten years using a variety of mediums - watercolour, oil , acrylics and pastels. His preferred subjects are local sailing craft, wildlife and children.

Lizann Carter

Lizann paints mainly in oils, and her subjects are mostly still life, inspired by textures and the play of light and shade. As well as her painting Lizann also runs a gallery at Brimstage, Wirral and also has a successful business in silk dyeing - creating her own techniques and designs. Stuart Parnell Stuart's main source for inspiration is the wildlife and landscapes of the British Isles. The majority of his work is taken from Welsh landscapes which is sketched and photographed on location providing a starting point for the work t be completed in the studio. A feature of the larger works, especially those depicting flora, is to continue the painting onto the frame making it an integral part of the painting.
