Robin Danely (site 343)
"I created these paintings of my family and friends in order to challenge myself as a portrait artist. I wanted to use bright colors, work quickly, and allow the brushwork to be lively and unrefined. I am as delighted by my subjects as by the paint itself."

JEWELLERS
As a private Goldsmith, Lisa Marie designs unique jewellery ranges and takes personal commissions all year round.She is also skillful at capturing the essence of memorable moments by remodelling, and transforming sentimental pieces.
Leonie's aim is to create original, contemporary jewellery which demonstrates a high level of craftsmanship. The work is delicate and distinctive. Much of her work in one-off. All of it is made with meticulous care and attention to detail.
SCULPTORS
Jane Wafer is a fine artist working mainly in sculpture. She has recently begun experimenting with clay, combining ceramics with wire to make sculptural forms, as well as hand building and throwing vessels.
TEXTILE ARTISTS
Ewa enjoys creating with different materials - textiles, semi-precious stones, paper.
Jan Purrett will also be at venue 311 showing patchwork and quilting inspired by hedgerows and the colours of the countryside.
PAPER
Kate will be exhibiting intricate layered papercuts, all cut by hand.
PRINTMAKING
Over the past fifteen years Jackie has been making studies of the different areas of Oxford. The city and the colleges as well as areas like Botley and Barton. From these studies she has been producing Etching and Aquatints. And she thought it would be worth bringing some of them together for Art weeks. The Exhibition is on the main corridor level 3 just past the reception area.
