Peter Cameron entered prison as a drug smuggler, and left as a painter!
He discovered he had a talent for painting whilst taking art classes in prison and was soon painting copies of family photos for inmates in exchange for tobacco. His tutor in prison, Steve Best (cartoonist 'Bestie') spotted his potential and encouraged him to continue.
After his release, he was invited by a retired judge, to exhibit at the Mall Galleries in London. It was an opportunity that transformed his life, as it was there, after successfully selling four paintings; he started a career as an artist.
Peter continues to work from a shared studio in Liverpool. He has won many prestigious awards and his talent as a painter is widely recognised. |

One of the North West’s leading contemporary artists. Tony has had five solo exhibitions this year and has been nominated as “St Helens Visual Artist of The Year.”
His unique style is achieved by using "reclaimed" and "found" materials on wood, giving them an urban and contemporary feel. He says, "I believe art without soul and intense passion is mere wall decoration, my art is contemporary and abstract for modern minds!"
After all, Picasso said, " People admire and enjoy the sky, the sea, the birds singing, but when it comes to art they feel as though they must understand it instead of just simply enjoying it…..." |

Liverpool based fine artist and printmaker Freida McKitrick’s work reflects the time-honored practice of taking common, ordinary images and objects and placing them in an artistic context, but with a little twist: She selects images or things that are or were at home in ordinary human life but have some extra significance, which is carried over into their artistic incarnation. Freida’s art is based on observations of life using a variety of subjects to record events, situations and ideas which have inspired her, or given cause for amusement.

To put everything into something that you do takes a lot. To be what you do takes even more. Emma Sumner is her work. Emma takes her life and paints with it. Her work pursues two key concerns; to locate and explore a feminine space within contemporary abstract painting, and to inscribe within that space subjective/autobiographical references that speak of her life and experiences.
The work combines paint, fabric, haberdashery and glitter amongst other materials to create work that projects from the picture surface. The work is filled with synthetic colour, florid floral patterns (courtesy of mass produced fabrics), and an excess of decorative items.

His work has always been influenced by the human figure from early interest in comic and fashion drawing. He now use's everyday life to capture moods and experiences.
The paintings express the hustle and bustle and on a more personal level the loneliness, isolation and anonymity that we feel in life.The city has become a concrete muse a focus to inspire his paintings. Set amongst crowded places with anonymous people who pass by everyday. |

Photographer
Patrick spent his childhood in Rainhill, where his father was a local doctor. He studied at Wallasey Art School and then Liverpool College of Art and Design in the 1960s, when graphic design exploded onto the music scene and in society generally.
He developed a keen interest in illustration and then photography, linking it with the Art Nouveau Movement and psychedelic images from the 1960s music posters.
His photographic compositions are concerned with colour and sometimes natural or man-made pattern. These elements are interpreted into his own style, often reflecting the mood and atmosphere of the occasion.
Patrick exhibits his work nationwide and has won many prestigious competitions. |

Painter
Kath is a self taught artist who has drawn and painted all her life. The medium of her choice is pastel and her preferred subjects are animals and people……..‘anything with a face’.
Her love of animals has taken her into the realms of wild life painting and it has become something of a passion. She regards it as the greatest challenge to capture the unique expression and character of each subject. This however, does not debar other subject matter, and she has painted commissions as diverse as old trains and oriental landscapes.
Kath’s other interests include writing both, poetry and prose and she has been fortunate to have achieved success in both.
All proceeds from the sale of her work go to charities which take medical and much needed surgery to parts of the world where these things which we take so much for granted are just not available. |
