Martin Webster
Chairman
Retiring to Salisbury I joined the Salisbury Group of Artists having never been part of an art group before and came to the Friday afternoon group sessions where I received a warm welcome. I now paint predominately in acrylics and am moving in a more semi abstract/abstract direction. Being someone who believes profoundly in people and communities I have recently offered to become deputy chair for the group to help further its aims of making painting fun for all, but also giving an opportunity learning to get better at it. I look forward to working with a lovely group of people to see what sort of journey we can create together.


Rose Duly
Treasurer
I work at a local firm of accountants. I started to draw and sketch after mobility problems meant I could not keep up with my young family. I’ve only recently expanded into painting with acrylics / multimedia and I love the variety of mark making that this medium enables. I look forward to meeting like minded people with SGA.

I have lived in Salisbury for over 20 years, joining the Salisbury Group of Artists a few years ago. A self taught artist, I have always had a passion for drawing and painting - I started sketching in my late teens, during my travels around the world. Why do I paint? Because the relaxation it affords allows me to become absorbed in the mysteries of creativity. Because of the challenge of working with colour of every sort. Because it gives a fantastic sense of achievement. Because I see painting as a life-long project, filled with endless opportunities.

Terry is a self taught artist who has never been without a pen, pencil and brush in his hand.
After a modest success in selling his art in London where he worked, he moved with his family to Wiltshire to live and work by and on the Kennet and Avon Canal. This gave him the opportunity of living and working in the environment and countryside that inspires him.
Terry says ‘The big skies of Salisbury Plain and the abundance of wildlife that enjoy its environment are an inspiration. Wiltshire hares are a favourite subject. From my sketch books of hare drawings my paintings and sculptures are developed. I always do hope that the special individual characters of these animals come through and give everyone the same pleasure they gave me in portraying them.’
