Jane McLellan channels her creative energies into painting glass. Self taught, Jane finds developing and creating new designs rewarding especially turning ordinary glassware into whimsical home decor.
Ray McNeice’s clean style in acrylics and watercolours is the product of 45 years in graphic design. Concern for shape, form, spatial relationships and eye movement drive his work.

Tricia Webster is a sculptor who create works that are used as a compliment to the natural elements of any garden. The materials (tree bark, moss, wood and burlap) are impervious to the elements and can be left outside all year or brought inside to enjoy.
Colin Whitebread develops his art from personal experiences, constantly seeking colour combinations that vibrate, sending positive image to the soul of the viewer. He loves to experiment and challenge the viewer to look more closely.
