Elaine is an Oxford-based artist who grew up in Cornwall. She is drawn to colour and texture and is inspired by the harbours and coastlines of her childhood. Her other love is the natural world, particularly the flowers that grow in her garden, and along the hedgerows and coast path of Cornwall. She works in different media and often builds her paintings up in layers.

The last 12 months have seen her exploring collage layers of paper and paint, as well as painting some of the iconic buildings in her hometown of Oxford. Her originals have found homes all over the world and she also has a range of limited edition prints from her paintings.

Charlie Davies is a professional artist living in Oxfordshire, who divides her time between painting and printmaking. She trained as a textile designer where she developed her love of nature. Her etchings draw on the natural world for inspiration, and she is increasingly taking elements of the drawn landscape into her work. She belongs to the Oxford Printmakers Collective, where she produces her prints. She paints using oils and adores the subtleties of colour and the effects of light, which can be achieved with this medium.

Charlie has won two People’s Choice awards for her artwork and exhibited several times at the Affordable Art Fair. She has exhibited at the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition and the Mall Galleries in London with the Royal Society of Marine Artists and Society of Botanical Artists. She is an award-winning Fellow of the Society of Botanical Artists and a member of the Oxford Art Society. Her paintings and etchings are in private collections worldwide
