Lija Broka
Booking/Social Secretary
My mission in life is to inspire others. Over the years I have come to realize I am not very organised, however I do try to make up in enthusiasm.
I work mainly in oils and I paint what I see, my individual outlook on life. I am interested in being influenced by the world around me and by my response to it, extending my identity into the work. The palette I use is earthy hues and textures, darkness that depicts time and decay.
Sandra Hammer. B.A. Hons.(Fine Art)
Chair
I am passionate about making art and encouraging others to explore their creative abilities.
I am a landscape painter who works on a large scale, often collaging previous work into new surfaces so that they become a reflection
of the process of making art rather than just an image. I believe no creative work is ever wasted and that just doing it adds something to ones life.
Derek Flint
Treasurer
I have a very simple task as Treasurer – I count the income and pay the bills, hopefully in that order.
Art was never my forte at school but over the years I have come to appreciate its cultural significance and I am now amazed at the breadth of people’s talent.
Margaret Gill
Committee Member
I trained and worked as a doctor. I was always interested in drawing, but only started to
paint in 1996 with a small box of watercolours in St Ives, of all places! As my interest grew I decided to pursue it at art school, partly out of curiosity and to see what I could learn.
My work starts with an image or form loosely based on nature or the human body. As the work develops over days or weeks, the colours, textures and forms take over until the final image emerges. After that, it is a matter of tweaking and trying not to lose it again!
