Barbara Laine  has been a quilter and embroiderer for over thirty years.

She exhibits regularly with the Dulwich Quilters.

Recently, her great interest has been in colour, and in how and why it works. She has

been trying to work organically, without a preconceived pattern, or grid, which is harder to do

than it looks. She work mostly with cotton materials, some of which she has dyed herself.

Iain Selwyn-Reeves has lived in Furzedown for almost 20 years and is a full-time interiors photographer by day.

In recent years Iain has developed a distinct range of photographic artwork. Each piece starts with an original high-resolution photograph of a location, which is then digitally edited to create the final artwork.
Iain’s recent work includes areas of South London. Tooting has of course been of particular interest and features in several prints.
Iain also enjoys the more traditional approach to photography, which can be seen in his landscape images.

Jude Caisley was born and raised in Northumberland, England and trained in
fashion and textiles at Newcastle Polytechnic. After working as a designer in
the fashion industry for 20 years, she discovered her love for painting and
now lives and works in London as a full time artist.
Jude’s expressive abstract paintings are dynamic, ethereal and full of
movement and vibrant colour. Large areas of subtle blending are punctuated
with bold gestural marks, rich textures and intricate detail. The inescapable
beauty of the natural world inspires her work, whilst in awe and wonder of the
Creator. Music also has a major influence and is an important part of her
process. Working mainly in acrylic paint she employs both traditional and
innovative painting techniques.

Oil paint is a medium Lucinda loves, with its rich colour and sensual texture, as well as the great versatility and flexibility.

Lynn Selwyn-Reeves studied Visual Communications before becoming a home furnishings buyer. She is now is a full-time photographer and illustrator living and working in Furzedown.

Lynn loves digital photography, especially the editing process as a medium for abstracting everyday objects or locations to give a new perspective. When not photographing locations, Lynn loves photographing children. Capturing expressions ‘in the moment’ and recording photographic memories never ceases to bring a smile.
Lynn also creates hand drawn line illustrations inspired by nature and bespoke pen & ink house portraits. Creating original artwork for children’s rooms, is a particular favourite. Some illustrations then become the starting point for her nursery print range.

Pete Solari  As a young artist I was an apprentice to the sculptor, painter and printmaker Ana Maria Pacheco and exhibited, including an etching in the Royal Academy, regularly. However, I turned towards another love, teaching, and became a Head of Art for almost thirty years. During this time, I continued to create my own work and in 2014 started to exhibit again with an exhibition at Stad Hall in Hastings. I have had three solo exhibitions at Sprout and this will be my second group one. I have another solo exhibition in April. It was only when I started to exhibit again that I realised that almost all my work evoked my love of the landscape. Trying to capture the atmosphere and beauty of the world around us. In this exhibition are three works that encapsulate that.

Phoebe Leigh is a self-taught emerging artist with a passion for exploring mixed media on canvas. She loves to use whatever materials she can get her hands on including stones, sand, glue, spray paint, varnish and acrylic to achieve unique dense texture and multi-dimensional work you can’t resist but reach out to touch.

Phoebe often experiments with new techniques on smaller canvases before introducing scale. She has a range of canvases from the tiny to the vast in varying colours and also welcomes commissions.
