ROMEY
BROUGH ArtistRomey
Brough NDD, ATD has been developing a reputation as a sensitive
painter and illustrator since her early days at Harrow School of Art
.
Her work is now exhibited and collected around the world by galleries,
corporations and private individuals as she continues her explorations
into media, technique and emotion.
Lately she has been developing the technique of monoprinting, a
technique used by Degas and others, involving painting acrylic onto
glass and transferring the image onto paper.
The appeal of monoprinting for Romey is to do with the contrasts of
texture produced by the interaction of chemicals in the paint - the
impossibility of repeats of any image - and the the need for the
observer to slow down and contemplate the effect that the colour and
texture has in stimulating their imagination.
“In my images, I use the juxtaposition of colours and textures to give
the illusion of horizontal and vertical planes, thereby recreating the
magic of remembered moments and emotions”.

JOANNE
MITCHELL - GLASS
Joanne Mitchell’s studio
is based in the U.K.’s National Glass Centre, in Sunderland.
She is an artist and
designer who creates innovative, contemporary glassware for galleries,
public and private commissions, and freelance product design for the
glass industry.
Her unique, recognisable
style combines understated yet striking shapes and textures, examining
the tactility and sensuality of the material.
She is continually
developing new work at the cutting edge of glass design, whether
working with individuals, companies and corporate clients to produce
designs tailored to their specific requirements, or in the development
of her personal practice.
“I intend my designs to
embody an aesthetic that goes beyond function, to express the
material’s inherent qualities and engage the senses. I like to explore
the tactility of glass through wheel cutting, cold-working and
polishing techniques. I often return to themes of movement, physical
interaction and negative space in my work.” Joanne Mitchell
