1 Chloe Romanos cloelea@aol.com Jewellery www.cloeleajewellery.com Chloe Romanos is a French jewellery designer and maker, based in Oxfordshire. She uses traditional silversmithing techniques to create contemporary statement rings, necklaces and earrings, sustainably produced using recycled precious metals (sterling silver and 9ct gold) and gemstones (her favourites: labradorite, opal, moonstone, amethyst, garnet…). Her initial training in archaeology and her fascination for Art and Crafts has inspired her to learn about transforming metals and combining different materials to create little poetic keepsakes, using traditional silversmithing techniques. “I like to create statement jewellery that stands out on the body. I imagine and design pieces that are small pieces of wearable art. Each creation has a story behind it, from the winged creations inspired by Art Nouveau to the textured effects that are a reminiscence of the worn aspect of archaeological treasures dug up from the ground. I also like to let my imagination be guided by memories of inspiring places I have visited, quotes from poems I have read, or by the material itself.” She studied jewellery making and silversmithing at the Jewellery School in Birmingham. She also hold a Master in Art History and Archaeology from Sorbonne University in Paris and a PhD in Archaeology from the University of Birmingham. 661d7b6d7947f-20210304_154746.jpg 661d7b6d872cd-IMG_20231224_172829_858.jpg 661d7b6d9296b-IMG_20240414_195404_446.webp 661d7b6daccad-IMG_20230507_132423_961.jpg 661d7b6dbe076-IMG_20220302_141835_708.jpg _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________ 2 Dianne Augustine dia_nnemarieartist@outlook.com Watercolour Acrylics Pastels Pencil Drawing Mixed Media Pen & Ink Dianne Augustine (b. 1965, UK) is a disabled women of colour who uses art as therapy for pain management.

My artistic journey began since school, achieved College colours for Art in Mayo College Girls’ School, Ajmer, India; Two gold medals and a Bachelor’s degree in Visual Arts from Faculty of Fine Arts, M.S. University, Baroda, India. I carried my creative stint further in the retail sector as a Visual merchandiser, after which I followed my surreal energy to being an artist. My artworks are a colourful surreal escape into my world. Working with different mediums, materials, and concepts, I express myself through my paintings. They are bold, bright & colourful with a sense of movement in them. My inspiration comes from everything around me, both in UK and India. Dreams, feelings, emotions, life experiences, places I have travelled and not travelled are reflected in my artworks as surreal in real. My works are concept driven by the invisible, that cannot be seen but can only be felt in our minds, by our bodies and around us. Painting to me is a constant discovery of oneself, an evolution of the mind and soul and my aim is to make the invisible visible to my audience, for them to feel that same energy & happiness as I do. An invisible experience of a language of every artwork that speaks to the viewer, like they speak to me when I create them. I am honoured to have showcased and achieved recognition for many of my artworks across UK. 65ae812a86048-In Love with the Damsels.JPG 65ae812a8c7f1-Yellow Hibiscus by Amrita Nanda .jpg 65ae812a9b94c-Raati by Amrita Nanda .jpg 65ae812aa67ac-Time Traveler’s Diary by Amrita Nanda .jpg 65ae812aad778-Flying Staircases by Amrita Nanda.jpeg _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________ 6 Tricia Wormald tricia.wormald@btinternet.com Watercolour Oils Acrylics Pen & Ink instagram.com/floweringmagnolia After a lifetime ( and a half!) in commerce, I'm following the career I should have had - in art. I discovered Chinese Brush Painting ten years ago, and immediately felt at home with the beauty, spirituality, philosophy and the culture of this ancient art. So much of my work is ink and chinese watercolour on plant based papers like Mulberry or on silk. However, I also love the lusciousness of oil and the brightness of acrylic. Whatever the medium, I aim to follow the traditions of Chinese art to capture the essence, the lifeforce, the "chi" of the subject matter and transmit this to the viewer. 65909b916a645-ARTSEA7.jpg 65909b916bd98-ARTSEA8.jpg 65909b916d12b-ARTSEA9.jpg 65909b916e56b-ARTSEA13ME.jpg _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________ 7 Carolyn Tyrer cjtyrer@googlemail.com Acrylics www.carolyntyrer.com Carolyn is a professional artist who paints a wide variety of subjects including seascapes , harbours and country scenes ., Her iconic seascapes and harbours are featured in the RNLI calendars and diaries.

I only came to the discovery that I could draw in 2018 on the death of my father. I picked up a pencil and drew a lily and couldn't quite believe I'd done it. I then went on to draw a few pencil portraits for friends and relatives. Drawing then stopped until I was furloughed in 2020 when I decided to try coloured pencils. From that point on I have been on a rollercoaster of a journey which resulted in my first exhibiting in Oxfordshire Artweeks, followed by Artists in the Countryside in 2022. Initially my work was animal portraits but as my confidence has grown I have explored other subjects and, more recently, a different medium. I draw what inspires me and as a country girl I am very much drawn to wildlife, the countryside and the coast. I do however love challenging myself and in this last year have drawn human portraits and the human form. My new medium is pastel pencil which I am loving. Someone said to me 'it's not like you draw doors', I had to confess yes I have, I've drawn a door! This has turned into a real passion for me, it’s my yoga with pencils, my happy place, my escape! I particularly love taking the opportunity to showcase my work and I am very happy to talk to people about it. It has been quite a journey and being completely self-taught I hope I can inspire others jus 63f2a03c54e1e-fishing resize.jpg 63f2a03ca8661-img20220718_16413607 (2).jpg 63f2a03cd5b2b-img20220415_13320121 (2).jpg _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________ 12 Leslie Riley mariley44@live.co.uk Oils Acrylics N/A My journey into art started in 1977 on Company business to Italy. Staying over the weekend I ventured into Pisa. I parked up facing the external wall to Miracle Square. An excellent position for a first glimpse of the 'Leaning tower of Pisa'. Armed with sketch pad and paints a quick line and wash was forthcoming. The finished water colour hung on my wall for many years. In 2005 the Museum of Modern Art Oxford invited artists to exhibit paintings under the heading 'Oxford Visions of the Future'. my 6 sketches - Pedestrian Precinct (Queen Street) - Westgate (shopping) - Transport (featuring a monorail) - Canal Marina (Worcester Street car park) - Environment (City Centre Traffic Control) - Concert Hall (with scalloped roof) were accepted and hung as a set of 6. Painting Plein-air on the streets of London was a great experience in 2017/18. My finished paintings were hung in Chelsea Town Hall. During the Oxfordshire Art Weeks I will be showcasing my art work of Cityscapes. 63ee9b9062ab9-thumbnail_art exhibition 21 - Copy.jpg 63ee9b9064549-thumbnail_art deco NY 2.jpg 63ee9b9068d40-thumbnail_venus sloan squ 1.jpg _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________ 13 MIRANDA MARKHAM Mirandamariamarkham@gmail.com Watercolour Oils https://instagram.com/mmmarkham?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= Miranda Markham is an Oxfordshire based artist painting in watercolour and oil.

My work in both watercolour and oil is based on images that I have captured from visits to numerous locations, some local to where I live and many from much further afield. My own photography has played a large part in sourcing topics for my paintings, however I also enjoy the concept of creating outdoor sketches, which have materialised from visits to coastal areas, national parks and the more rural areas of the Scottish Highlands. My involvement with the Bicester Arts Network has enabled me to liaise with many other painters through similar local art groups and enjoyed the opportunities of working with more experienced artists. 63a5d466d4995-IMG_4623.jpg 63a5d466d7b0f-IMG_4624.jpg 63a5d466da59f-IMG_4629.jpg 63a5d466dce29-IMG_4621.jpg 63a5d466df62b-IMG_4632.jpg _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________ 28 Carole Mockford carolempottery@gmail.com Sculpture Isn’t it wonderfully comforting to have a special mug that you like to use each day? Or a beautiful pot that you just love looking at and touching? Pottery is so personal, we use it every day, so why not enjoy it? My approach to making pots is with a little bit of humour, a touch of quirkiness yet also functionality. I mostly throw on a pottery wheel but at times I’ll have a phase of handbuilding. I have a studio at home and a small kiln so I’m limited to small batch items, often one offs. Individually handcrafted items are special, made with love and a sense of creativity, but also hours of painstaking physical, technical and scientific work. It comes with a smattering of frustration and disappointment but often elation and joy when a plan comes together. This will be my second Artweeks and my second year of being face to face with potential customers. This past year has taught me a great deal about making to sell but I also keep to designs which please me and I hope also please those who come to see me. 63a5d335a6e92-2846EB9A-C250-499D-B090-69F9327EABF3.jpeg 63a5d3361fe35-4DA1C69C-F2DC-4030-A140-5C036E64B730.jpeg 63a5d3368aab6-1601F3EB-CC3C-48FC-88BB-AD260AC969C7.jpeg 63a5d336a4b0c-D0F42DD4-156B-4D4C-B48E-82D4B2030EA6.jpeg 63a5d336a5cf7-F6C33B70-A1F5-4F7B-819D-E3B8EC0BFA16.jpeg _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________ 29 Ruth Jakeman ruthie62@btinternet.com Oils Acrylics Mixed Media ruthjakemanart.com I work mainly in acrylics, utilizing my own photographs as inspiration for many of my paintings.

She is self-taught and loves experimenting; her approach to art is simple: “give it a try and see where it takes you”. This transpires in her latest pieces which could not be any further from where she started: art for children versus landscapes/Still Life and sometimes dramatic sceneries. She works mainly from photographs she takes when creating landscapes and seascapes and enjoys working on details and shades. Céline still creates art for children which comes from her imagination for which she uses vibrant colours and dreamy sceneries. Céline is French and has been living in Oxfordshire for 30 years. 63a5b6a5311f3-Spires by the Sea.png 63a5b6a53cc9f-Le Hibou Oxfordshire Artweeks.PNG 63a5b6a54f3ac-Flamingo - Oxfordshire Artweeks.PNG _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________ 31 Thomas Shepherd thomas@shepline.com Pencil Drawing Pen & Ink Photography Printmaking From books, buildings, and beyond. An illustrated journey to over 800 independent booksellers via Oxford and Oxfordshire, landmarks and landscapes, maps and the imagined world. With a style somewhere between Rex Whistler and Edward Ardizzone, my work is both detailed and playful. 63a5b2583cb16-shepline-shepline-oxford-water-72dpi.jpg 63a5b2583e9db-shepline-shepline-shepline-bolton-abbey-and-stepping-stones-yorkshire-72dpi.jpg 63a5b258402f9-Cevennes - 72dpi.jpg 63a5b2584dc78-shepline-shepline-shepline-radcliffe-camera-oxford-72dpi-small.jpg 63a5b2584f043-shepline-shepline-shepline-gordalescar-yorkshire-72dpi-websmall.jpg _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________ 32 Alexandra Buckle info@alexandrabuckle.co.uk Printmaking https://www.alexandrabuckle.co.uk/ Alexandra lives in Oxfordshire and draws inspiration from countryside walks and the changes in weather and season upon the landscape. These scenic discoveries are transformed into colourful, impressionistic linocuts. Themes include sun streaming through woodlands and trees, twinkling water and reflections, carpets of flowers or fields with interesting skies. More recently, adventures from a trip to Japan have sparked a collection of works. Most prints are worked in reduction whereby layers of colour are cut and printed from the same block, destroying it in the process and limiting the edition. 63a5a2ad8c7f7-Sea Pinks - Alexandra Buckle 1mb.jpg 63a5a2ad900e7-Lantern and Pine - Alexandra Buckle.jpg 63a5a2ad9bedf-Evergreen - Alexandra Buckle 1mb.jpg _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________
