"Maggie Howe’s work is diverse and includes all three practices of painting, printmaking and ceramics with a few detours along the way. She experiments with the raw potential of the materials, the paints, papers, ink, wax and clay and produces a portfolio that ranges from intimate still lifes to ceramic forms to tactile, abstracted assemblages. Maggie's varied practice is a singular pursuit: finding a visual voice that captures the moments in everyday life that cause us to pause and reflect: a memory, a person remembered, the beauty of everyday objects and the everchanging light and colour that surrounds us. Maggie's work is exhibited via the gallery section of this website, via The 16 Gallery online and in their Gallery in Montpelier, Cheltenham and in the Annual Paintprintclay Exhibition at the Site Arts Festival in June each Year.

The work of Elizabeth Lee is influenced by fascination in the use of colour and expressionism such as in the works of Wassily Kandinski and Johann Christian Dahl. The “uncanny” often determines her figurative work and artists such as Ithel Colquhoun have inspired her. For this exhibition she has concentrated on a series of landscapes loosely based on images of Snowdonia, examining the effect of light on the mountains and the water.

Mandy Scott is an artist working across painting, print, and 3D forms. Her practice explores themes of home, safety, and vulnerability, examining how spaces—though often intended to nurture and protect—can be fragile and easily disrupted by external forces such as violence, power, and circumstance. Scott’s work moves fluidly between the idea of home as a physical structure, the people who inhabit and shape these spaces, and the surrounding rural and urban environments. Through this, she investigates how nurturing can persist—even within systems marked by control, inequality, and disruption.
