Arnold Lowrey has been painting in a variety of media for more than 25 years. His motivation has been the use of light in painting, but he now experiments more with color and texture. His seascapes are especially vibrant and full of movement. Lowrey also likes painting still lifes, landscapes, portraits, and abstracts, which he exhibits in Wales and London. He holds regular weekend workshops, weekly painting courses, and demonstrations for art societies. He is also a painting demonstrator for several art materials suppliers.

Wendy Jelbert is a teacher and professional artist who works in pastels, oils, acrylics, inks, and watercolors. She enjoys experimenting with different ways of using mixed media and texture. Her sometimes unconventional methods often produce surprising and original results.
