Reflections

Having completed an Art Foundation course in year 2000  followed by an HNC and now in 2005 completing my HND in Fine Art at Salisbury College I feel I have followed my goal in becoming an artist.

July 2005 I became the Secretary and co-creator of the AVA “Amesbury Visual Artists”, bringing together professional artists offering; Workshops, Exhibitions, Art Trails through a networking system of promotions and marketing.

I now specialise in life drawing in pastel and by re-creating the subject through graphic manipulation am able to re-cycle my artwork into a deeper dimension, one which you would not see with the naked eye.

I have shown my work at many exhibitions including Waterloo Gallery in London.

I now have my own Studio where I am able to exhibit some of my work and allow visitors to see work in progress.

My interest in jewellery design arose when I was about 6 when my mum purchased a few jewellery kits and let me dabble with them.  I was always doodling new designs but it was only in 2004 when I truly got interested.  I was engaged at the time and my mum wanted to make my bridal tiara, so we both went along to a tiara workshop.  Since then I have designed and made a number of bridal and bridesmaid tiaras for various weddings including my own, a few for a ball, and also a couple of fascinators, with beads alone or with feathers included.

My tiara designs range from full on jaw dropping to simple and understated, and my jewellery designs are usually modern elegance.

For my own wedding I also designed some bead and wire work for the flower arrangements including the bouquets.  In addition to this I designed the decoration for the wedding cake including the ‘topper’ which was mine and my husbands first initials entwined.

I specialise in weddings but I can do something for a special occasion, like a ball, prom, birthdays or even theatre trips, and can also provide wedding stationery or a single card for an occasion.  The prices of these are quoted after I have completed the preliminary designs; however they are usually £1 - £3 each for wedding stationary and between £3 - £6 for a single one off card.

I usually work with the customer preferably face to face to discuss their requirements; however it is possible to communicate via email or phone for customers who are not in the area.  I will then draw up a few designs of which I leave the final decision up to the customer; I also provide approximate costs for each design at this point.  My prices for my tiaras range from approx £30-£35 for a simple design, £15 approx for a child’s headdress and £60-£80 approx for a more complex design.  Fascinators are usually about £20-£50 depending on design and materials.

Goblets

Having completed an Art Foundation course in 1988, I then undertook a Jewellery Design degree at Middlesex University.

Since graduating in 1993, I worked as a freelance designer for several companies including Liberty, Royal Selangor pewter and Anglo American Eyewear, primarily designing and manufacturing prototype product ranges in pewter and resin.

I now specialise in hand cast, decorative pewter items for the home, drawing my inspiration from simple natural forms, animals, mythology and architecture.

I have shown my work at several exhibitions including 100% Design, Pewter Live and Dazzle as well as being featured in Vogue, Homes and Gardens and The Daily Telegraph.  I also have a piece in the Silver Trust national collection of silver, which is held at number 10 Downing Street.

My love of art stems from my family. As a child I was actively encouraged to draw and paint.
I lived in Canada and America, and whilst there I began painting in oils, to capture on canvas the profusion of colours in the fall.
On returning to England, I opened my own business, and made use of the wall space to display and sell some of my paintings.
I have exhibited paintings in London, as well as local art galleries.

Phil Snelgrove

I Studied Art & Design on a Foundation Course at Salisbury College and progressed to Southampton Institute of Higher Education where I achieved my Bachelor of Arts Degree in Product Design with Marketing. I have spent the last 6 years employed as a Project Manager and Photographer for a local company providing artwork solutions for Hotels, Restaurants and Bars. In 2007 I started my own business “Belmont Fine Arts” specialising in Giclee Printing for Artists and Photographers. My interest in photography has steadily increased with favoured subjects including abstract architecture and macro images of flowers. Using Adobe Photoshop I am able to produce photographic artworks on Canvas, Watercolour and Photographic papers.

Kathy Gevaux

My Name is Kathy Gevaux, I am a self taught “artist”, and paint mostly in watercolour. However, I have dabbled with acrylic and have just discovered working with inks. I also enjoy drawing, either in pencil or ink. I attend an art group in Wilton, meeting on Monday afternoons. As a child I remember sitting on the floor in front of a roaring fire with colouring pencils and paper. If I was sitting I was usually drawing. I also enjoy crafting and making greeting cards.

Phillip Hutchings

I started my working career as a commercial artist and attended at Birmingham College of Art and at that time I became interested in Industrial landscapes and portrait painting. 

In 2001 and after a happy career in the printing industry I decided to devote as much time as possible to painting and focused on portrait work in oils before broadening into other media and subjects.

I am currently a student at Salisbury College taking a part time course in Fine Arts and also developing the scope of my creative output.

My primary aim as an artist is to create pictures that have a visual impact and captures the attention of a viewer to stop and take in more than just a passing glance.

I have gained many commissions for portrait work and had samples of work in local art exhibitions.
