Another spin around the sun, and we're again! My third year and it's going to be great!
If you're here, you already know about me, but let me tell you a little more about my fellow exhibitors this year:
YVETTE PHILLIPS - Textiles & Embroidery
Yvette combines vintage fabrics with intricate hand embroidery to create boldly coloured and visually striking works of art. Her pieces range from small, finely detailed embroidered works to large-scale collages, each showcasing a rich and diverse palette of colours, patterns, and textures. Her work is deeply inspired by her love of nature and the natural world. She views her subjects through a romantic lens, seeking to imbue them with life, individual character, and a harmonious blend of colour combinations that resonate, as well as a distinct sense of atmosphere. At its core, her work celebrates the magical beauty of nature.
KARINA TARIN - Painting
An Oxford-based painter, Karina creates richly coloured, narrative oil paintings inspired by ancient stories, symbolism, and Renaissance and medieval art. Her work celebrates resilience, beauty, and the quiet magic woven into everyday life. She is drawn to age-old myths, fables, and folklore - stories that help us make sense of the natural world and our place within it, infusing her work with a sense of wonder and depth.
ELLIE WONG - Painting
She's back! Ellie will be showing her beautiful, layered paintings exploring connections - to ourselves, to others, and to the world around us. Using animals as powerful gateways to human emotion and essence, her work draws on childhood play and her children’s unfiltered creativity. By building dioramas to capture scenes, energy, and imagined dialogue, she creates paintings that blend oil, acrylic, and ink into evocative, multi-layered compositions.
They're all amazing, and together we are putting on a festival of colour for you, in three different media.
We'd love you to come along, and we've got a few surprises in store too! So keep in touch either here, or on Instagram.
