My art is inspired by nature and man's relationship with nature.

x Ted Barr's Unique Artwork at bGallery
Painting the celestial sky brings to mind questions of the origins of
life. Thoughts of conception, pregnancy and birth evoke similar
wonderment of the initial moments of life. At the moment of human
conception is the convergence of sperm and ovum. In the celestial realm
the “big bang” is a similar unexplained fraction of infinitesimal time
that represents infinite energy in a singular space area, the elements
of which are beyond human perception. Human beings are designed to grasp
reality on a very limited scale. We are limited by what our sight,
sound, smell, taste, and touch can perceive. The micro cosmos is far too
small and the galactic worlds are far too vast for our perception but a
notion arises, a strange and enigmatic notion, there is a strong
similarity and connection between those worlds.

University of London, UK. In 1998 she received her M.A. in Art and
Design before moving back to Canada. She taught Ceramics at the Dept. of

She
does take commissions and recently completed a private commission for a
Halifax client- the sculpture " The Guitarist" prompted the client to
write;
" every time I walk past your creation, I see something new that further expands my appreciation of your gift..."
In a recent solo show at Swoon Fine Art, Rosemary's "Murmurs of Granite" was described by the owner of the gallery as the "best selling" show since the gallery opened. In the review of the show, art critic for the Chronicle Herald described Rosemary's works as:
"Rock
art both mythic and modern, enigmatic, taking the viewer back in time
to Classical sculptures, Greek Myth and the formation of rock itself."
Rosemary will shortly be exhibiting at a group exhibiton, in 2013, at the Mary Black Gallery in "Change Ahead" this show will involve issues around the changing nature of art in the face of various agents of change.

x Diana Bernice Tackley Exhibits at bGallery
Award winning artist, designer & broadcaster,
I am so very fortunate to have a studio which is beautifully located overlooking the Trent and Mersey Canal in Barnton, Cheshire. Local surroundings influence much of my work and I really enjoy painting inland waterway scenes although many other subjects in different media also appeal. I am particularly inspired by the effect of light on a subject, night or day. I have been delighted with the response to my large acrylic canvases depicting dramatically illuminated night time industrial scenes of the chemical works around Northwich. My painting, ‘Nightshift’, was selected from 3000 applicants for the BBC2 Show Me The Monet 2012 series and I was one of the final 36 winners who exhibited in the Mall Galleries, London, in the Show Me The Monet Exhibition. I have since exhibited in the Congingsby Gallery, London, with the After the Monet group.
I was previously a freelance designer of wallpapers and furnishing fabrics, exhibiting in London, Paris, Lille, Frankfurt, New York, Seoul and Tokyo. Various techniques have carried through to my waterway and abstract paintings and I owe much of my versatility and variety of subject matter to my design background.
My enthusiasm and knowledge of local inland waterways led to my greatest challenge to date when I was commissioned to paint the massive 30' x 8' exterior mural which is now on permanent exhibition at the Anderton Boat Lift, Northwich.
Many of my paintings are in private collections in U.S.A. Canada, New Zealand and UK including The Lord Lieutenant of Cheshire, David Briggs MBE and I was honoured with a commission for a painting which was presented to H.R.H. The Duke of Kent at the reopening of Castle Park, Frodsham.

x Betty Anderson's Beautiful Work - b Gallery
A self-taught artist in oils, I first picked up a brush many years ago, but moves, children and more moves meant that my paints were deeply buried. It was only in 2008 that I dug out my paints and set to seriously work on my art that had languished. Not being involved in the "art scene", I had no idea how to exhibit my work but someone saw what I was doing, and set me on a course that has been rewarding and exciting.
I am a Fellow of the Royal South Australian Society of Arts, and member of the Guild of Realist Artists, as well as a number of smaller groups. I have won a number of prizes, Highly Commended and People's Choice awards, and in 2012 was selected for the Salon des Refuses (the alternate Archibald Prize for Portraiture) and the Black Swan Prize for Portraiture. I was selected for the Waterhouse Natural Science Prize 2013, and the City of Tea Tree Gully Nature Exhibition.
My real love is portraiture and I would love to paint your portrait!

x Glittering Shards - gifts and lots of new courses for 2015!
.jpg)
I hope life is treating you kindly. I do appreciate your time reading my email . I thought that I would let you know about my latest courses, as well as some exciting news about the direction of Glittering Shards. As always, if you are not in the London area, do scroll down for news that may be of interest to you.
I have developed 7 different packages of courses to suit different needs, including 8-week courses, one-day workshops, mosaic immersion days and mosaic tasters. You can see them all here, including dates for the coming year.
Online resources
If you have been to the Glittering Shards website recently, you may have noticed a new menu for online resources. This currently gathers all the tips, tutorials and resources from over 10 years of my blog. In the next few months, I will be adding a new range of online learning tools and downloadable resources on:
- mosaic making (basics and advanced)
- mosaics as a tool for mindfulness
- art as a tool for transformation.
Soon, there will be a new, easy to access menu with book lists & links on these subject areas. Bear with me as I do all the techie and content work on this - always a bit of a challenge for non-computer buffs such as myself! (If anyone knows a good WordPress person that might help I would be grateful for the contact).

x Chris Sheldrake's Marvellous Artwork bGallery
I'm a self-taught Artist, I have spent several years developing my art
work.I have consolidated and improved my style of painting over this
period.
This has enabled me to say my art is easily recognised as Chris Sheldrake's pictures. This sounds very easy, it was not.
I
chose five criteria to concentrate on, Skies, Structures, Water,
Atmosphere, and Inspiration. I use palette knife and brush and a host
of other tools to get the effect I want.
I like to write, plan and practice my pictures as I paint them.
So
I consider myself as a cityscape/townscape artist.and I use a little
bit of imagination to convey to the viewer an illusion of reality. Have a
look at my web site www.chrissheldrake.uk

x Jacqueline Mia exhibits her work
I produce vibrant, textured, tactile pieces using unusual materials to add dimension and intrigue to my work.
Yes I do encourgae you to run your fingers over my work - although my art looks delicate it is very robust. ( and can be cleaned) Experiencing the texture is part of the appreciation process!
I love vibrant and unusual colour combinations which make my heart sing, sounds romantic but Im sure you know what I mean.
To me art is to brighten and enlighten, to make you catch a moment to ponder. Above all I hope my work is seen as beautiful. The dimensions and shadows of the depth and texture captures a different light from different angles around the room giving you a different vision every time.
About me?!
My name is Jacqueline Mia, I sign all my work with just 'MiA'
I am a Graphic Designer by trade and still work freelance when commissioned. Art is my joy and where my heart is.
I work in a small studio within my home, I am surrounded by brightness and inspiring images. In my geek-corner waits my AppleMac!
I am passionate about my art being able to be appreciated by the visually impaired or blind.
I am happy to accept commissions or re-paint one of my pieces in a different size to suit your space. Some of my pieces are large its true, these were created with business premises or hospitals in mind.
I have exhibited widely, and also loaned my work to hospitals for 'Art as Therapy' schemes.
All my work is professionally framed, if for any reason you would like the frame removed I am happy to do this for you.
