isle Christina Hargraves 2

Born a farmer’s daughter in the fells of the North Pennines, Christina now lives in Lanercost near Brampton. She draws inspiration for her art from a deep love of the countryside and working in her beautiful cottage garden. The watercolour paintings are in impressionistic floral style using mainly pastoral colours.

Tricia Meynell 1

I’m drawn to colour – small patches here and there; stumbled upon by chance, often in the marinas of West Cumbria, where boats languish in stages of decay or repair, providing me with a source of inspiration and beauty. Despite my images being true to “life”, they sometimes take on the appearance of paintings, causing the onlooker to question the medium used to produce them. “Are they photographs?” “Yes. They are!”.

leLinda Watson 4

I produce sculpture which is as much about touching as seeing. My hands and fingers are as important as the eyes in judging, assessing and evaluating the form, until the sensuous piece beneath the surface is revealed. Each piece originates from patterns and rhythms found in nature. The shaping of something hard and rough into another form is both challenging and therapeutic.



Directions: From Brampton take the Alston road, turn right as you enter Milton, right at the T junction, left up the hill as you enter Farlam, follow the signs from there.

Artist Recommends: Blacksmiths Arms, Talkin Village, Brampton, Cumbria CA8 1LE

Jenia Gorfunkel 3

Jenia works with recycled bottle glass. She designs and makes functional and decorative items for the home. She also makes silver and glass jewellery. Jenia takes on commission work. Jenia studied stained glass design and jewellery design at the University of Cumbria. Her appreciation of glass as an artistic medium and concern for the future of our environment encouraged her to devise a unique brand of fused glass designs.

isle Re-Freshed Fabric Art 6

Using fabric decoupage we breathe new life into the best retro, vintage and pre-loved furniture and home-wares. We view each item as a blank canvas and the fabrics become our paint palette. New and vintage cottons and silks are individually cut by hand and meticulously applied layer on layer, to create unique but practical works of art, which can be used, enjoyed and appreciated on a daily basis.

Carolyn Marr 5

Carolyn Marr is a ceramic artist who draws inspiration from urban and industrial landscapes as well as from her immediate surroundings in the North Pennines. Carolyn uses the potter’s wheel and handbuilding techniques to make bottles, lamps, jugs, bowls and also sculptural work. Focusing on simple forms, often with more complex multilayered surfaces, Carolyn is interested in exploring the dynamics that emerge from groups or series of objects.

leSarah Le Brocq 8

Visitors to my studio will see contemporary paintings and drawings in a variety of media. I find inspiration from personal experience, as well as literature, poetry and the work of other artists. I have always been fascinated with ways of depicting human and animal form. My work reflects an interest in a woman’s perceived place in society and her own sense of identity, as well as an exploration of motherhood and the family.

Address Moor House, Rickerby, Carlisle, CA3 9AA

The sea and Solway coastline are the focal point of Ros White’s work. The transient nature of the coast compels and fuels her paintings, and aquatints. Her work explores the essence of that landscape, she works on preparatory drawings in charcoal and completes her oil paintings on canvas.

My mixed media sculptures have a Northern theme depicting creatures of forest and tundra and referencing prehistoric art. Wolves, bison and deer roam the studio, alongside paintings of their habitat. I see the animals as Guardian Spirits, symbols of wilderness, and its loss... meditations on both the resilience and fragility of life. I have exhibited nationally and in several international shows. I have been shortlisted for the Wildlife Artist of the Year Award three times.

Using local materials in glazes, an example being Solway sand. The pots are fired to 1300 c in a wood fired cross drought kiln for up to 48 hours. Although interested in mark making, it is more important to allow the clay to speak.

I have a passion for working with wood, expressing its natural beauty within a contemporary design. All my timber is locally sourced and is obtained sustainably, for example from fallen or storm damaged trees. My preferred style is ‘minimalist’, using a simple design which allows the wood to express its own qualities. This often includes natural edges, knot-holes, burrs, spalting, and other naturally-occurring imperfections. Each piece is truly unique.

ale Amy Albon 40

After graduating from a BA Fine Art (Hons) Degree in 2012, I returned to my home county of Cumbria where I continue to develop my practice. During my University studies, I primarily worked conceptually and with the three-dimensional. I am now however, exploring my practice by means of two-dimensional media. Though I try to avoid specialising, I typically work with acrylic inks, drawing media and print methods. Visual inspiration ranges from the natural landscape to everyday objects.Address West Cumbria Print Studio, Unit 4, Gate House, Hallwood Road, Lilyhall, Workington Farlam, CA14 4JR

William James Cummins 39

Oil painter and printmaker, I am the founder and Director of the West Cumbria Print Studio. I have worked in a variety of print media using each to create a different vision of the subject matter I am exploring. As a figurative artist I am, though, mainly concerned with an understanding of the human figure as this creates the most complex, difficult and challenging imagery within all of the paint, print and drawing media.

I love exploring the way pigment responds to different surfaces and textures. I use the printing techniques of collagraph and monoprint as a way of making these investigations, and also use slips and glazes on textured clay. I find the process most satisfying when I can use it to express something about an atmosphere or an energy that is mysterious: beyond what is seen.

This Autumn, Cumbria’s largest indoor tourist attraction Rheged is teaming up with C-Art to present ‘C-Art at Rheged’ a specially selected exhibition that brings together a hand-picked group of artists and designers from this year’s C-Art Open Studios Trail.

Sally Bamber 70Green DoorGreen Door is a self-organised, not-for-profit organisation formed in 1995 by a collective of artists based in Kendal. It is committed to making contemporary art accessible to local residents and visitors.

The group and individuals from it have been involved in many educational and community projects, and Green Door artists have participated in solo and joint exhibitions in galleries throughout the region, nationally and internationally.

Today, there is a membership of over 80 artists throughout South Lakeland working across all art forms.

The group has two dedicated galleries – The Brewhouse at Burgundy’s, in Kendal and the Tea Room at Low Sizergh Barn, just outside Kendal.

In July 2012, the group’s new studio base opened in the Market Place in Kendal, providing studio spaces for seven local artists.

Green Door members will be exhibiting as part of Print Explosion at the Upfront Gallery from 1 October to 10 November 2013.

The next Green Door Art Trail runs from

5 and 6 April 2014

I paint portraits. I work on a project basis and invite people to sit for me. I paint from life - mostly they are painted in one day. I work in oil on un-sized fine linen. I try to make the session an informal experience. I will be painting a portrait live on each of the C-Art weekends; look out for details on Facebook and Twitter. I also paint flower watercolours.

My paintings are an appreciation of the domestic and the ordinary, a contemplation of the rituals of daily life. Flowers, vases, jugs, teapots on table top, treasured objects from loved people, a cat sleeping, a walk with the dog, an old couple sharing a picnic by the sea; these brief glimpses and encounters, visions of the everyday are the inspiration.

Margaret Wilmot 79

Painting on silk - vibrant coloured dyes and a lustrous fabric - what a combination! These together with the ancient skills of batik are used in a fresh way to convey my delight in the Cumbrian landscape. As a keen walker, the rich succession of wild flowers along the hedgerows and the drama of high ridges, crags and scree slopes provide both inspiration and challenge for a life-time. Visitors are very welcome to my home - see my work and enjoy a cup of tea!

Richard Hughes 102

Making sculpture is, for me, like an extension of the idea of constructing with whatever is to hand, having affinities with activities such as walling, laying hedges or stacking bales. Often working with found materials – the detritus of the landscape or the city – I make constructed forms which give a new context for these discarded materials and identities, to evoke moods, feelings, ideas.

Karen Hughes 101

My recent paintings are figurative, with the horse as the dominant subject, but they are not intended to be only narratives about particular horses or the qualities of horses. For me, the paintings also have a lot to do with the nature of painting itself, in particular the balance between two-dimensional surface pattern, and the perception and depiction of three-dimensional space.

Jennifer Kirby 106

My subjects are accurate portraits of people, animals, plants or landscapes. I celebrate the individual. I use acrylics, coloured or graphite pencils, and sometimes all three together, to achieve every texture in my portraits. I apply paint with very small brushes to depict subtlety of texture, such as the shine on a smooth haired dog or the peach skin of a baby’s cheek.

Phillipa Turnbull 108

Inspired by my research into “crewel” surface embroidery found in British castles, museums and country houses, I re-create and interpret the techniques from the past. In support of my mission to bring appreciation of past embroiderers̀ work, I run international needlework seminars using these embroideries as my source material. I re-create rarely seen Jacobean and Elizabethan designs, stiches and colours in my crewel work, and sell kits in needlepoint and crewel work enabling others to create their own heirloom piece. I also use these designs on porcelain mugs and screen printed scarves.

I am a felt artist but I also enjoy oil painting. My inspiration is often drawn from our garden and the countryside around us rich in wildlife, especially hares which feature strongly in my work. I love to portray Cumbrian land/light-scapes, flora and fauna . I also make accessories. I hold regular workshops in my studio and in schools. I enjoy installation work on large scale and have examples around the County.

Phil Morsman 111

My work is an abstract exploration of the formal and physical aspects of painting - colour, tone, shape, texture, pattern, line, etc. Often it is also an intuitive response to various aspects of landscape. The ambiguity of representing space on a flat surface is a central concern. Sizes vary from small paper pieces to large canvases and occasionally to architectural scale commissions for public buildings.

I throw using a smooth white stoneware clay. Pieces are either left unaltered or are allowed to stiffen before being cut, sections removed and reassembled. The utilitarian wares of Spain and Portugal and the deep but subtle glaze finishes achieved in the Far East form the backbone of my inspiration. I intend the work to have a simplicity that emanates primarily from function, and an elegance that is clearly derived from the Orient.

Emma J Lock 128

A mainly self-taught artist I create because I get excited and sometimes obsessed with a subject, feeling the need to recreate what I see and feel through my own eyes. I find it relaxing sometimes and other times quite all-consuming and I simply cannot stop. I experiment all the time; I have no rules or constraints so use any medium and any method to get it onto the canvas.

David Sims 127

David’s work is unashamedly figurative. After obtaining a degree in fine-art, when drawing, composition and technique really mattered, he then persued a career in graphic design. Twice recognised by the Royal Society of Arts for his contribution to design,he lectured for the Design Council and won national/international awards. David retired early to paint the Northern Landscape in his distinctive style.

I’m showing paintings, and woodcut prints characterised by saturated colour, repeating motifs, and overlaid slabs of decorative patterning. They re– investigate aspects of early modernism, and draw on organic and vernacular forms, and global textile designs. I want to draw the viewer into the work to suggest interior spaces of architecture and the mind and layers of consciousness that might predominate in dreams, and meditative states.

Gary Power 131

The work displayed will include original drawings on paper using acrylic ink and watercolour and paintings on board. I am interested in investigating systems of chance and order. I use serial compositions of repeated marks, and geometries within a grid to create a sense of repetition within variation. This rhythm creates a kind of notation or calligraphy that can be read as a gestural visual script registering duration, movement, interdependence between things; change and mutability; or the shifting patterns of light and shade.

I use a very wide variety of media - stone, wood, silver, other metals, fibreglass, land forms, animation, lettercutting to list some. And my themes are as varied as the media.

Michelle Castles 136

I am a sculptor specialising in the human figure in its prime. Working in the medium of weld mesh, I manipulate the wire by hand to capture the likeness of dynamic forms. Inspired by sport and dance, I capture the pose in suspended animation, from miniatures to life size, single pieces to installations. The translucency of the mesh gives an ethereal beauty, a paradox of absence and presence.

I like to experiment with different media, but particularly enjoy painting with oils, because of their extreme versatility as a medium. I especially enjoy the challenge of trying to capture a sitter’s likeness in portraiture. Colour and texture are extremely important to me, and I am constantly inspired by their seemingly endless potential in my craft of spinning and weaving using wool and silk, and also in the creation of felt pictures.

Self taught, and a comparative newcomer to painting, I try to express my pleasure in the natural world through the medium of watercolour.

Heather Davies 152

Heather’s work is an emotional response to the natural world. Light is inspirational and plays an important part in the composition. Her choice of colour varies from intense reds to subtle greys and even black. This often sombre palette adds a sense of drama to the finished painting, creating a mysterious mix of reality and abstraction. Her studio is situated in a relatively undiscovered part of Cumbria, and this landscape is often the focus of her work.

Helen Johnson 161

My work has always been rooted in Modernist theory and whilst the subject matter may change each piece contains similarities in terms of technical practice; specifically referring to colour and movements within the two dimensional picture plane. I am currently developing a body of work focussing on the elements. My Water series plays with colour, space, depth and form where I create believable space within a semi-abstract context.

Address The Old Police Station, Townhead, Alston, CA9 3SL


Directions: The top of the hill in Alston between the A689 to Nenthead and the B6277 to Garrigill.

Artist Recommends: Alston House, Townfoot, Alston, CA9 3RN

H&HREEDS advert

C-Art is a visual art and design festival that takes place across the Lake District and Cumbria every year. For two weeks in September, artists, designers and independent galleries open their doors to the public, situated in some of the UK’s most picturesque towns and villages.

Throughout the two weeks you’ll find a trail of yellow signs popping up all over Cumbria, revealing the location of a hidden artist studio or independent gallery for you to explore. Follow the trail and discover friendly folk happy to invite you in for a cup of tea and a chat about their artwork. If you’ve never visited an art gallery before, this is a great introduction to see how artists work and what inspires them. You’ll also get the chance to buy artwork direct from the makers, a perfect memento of an inspiring day out.
