Mavis Atkinson Smith, from Dumfries who draws inspiration from landscape, gardens, flowers, dance and the written word.  Her sketch book is at the core of her approach and she works in a variety of different media.

Bob Henfrey, from Kendal who works en plein air in sketchbooks. His paintings use a variety of medium. and he has recently co-authored a book on the experiences of being a painter-artist.

Our fourth artist is Haydn Morris who has been a regular exhibitor at Upfront over the years. .He draws inspiration from the spectacular Lake District landscape to paint impressionistic oils and watercolours.
