June Emerson
ArtFest Open Studios 5
Most of her paintings begin with pouring, trickling or throwing liquid paint on to canvas or rough Indian Khadi paper. From the resulting naturally flowing structure something usually emerges. It’s like her approach to life: whatever life throws at you, make something beautiful out of it if you can.

Sue Gough 7
The human condition and the tensions of dualism continue to absorb Sue. She explores these themes using landscape as a metaphor. The work deals with shifts in painting language, hinting at the descriptive through indicators such as colour, marks and edges. Tension between the physicality of the paint surface and the descriptive element is what drives the work.
