Sarah Wimperis
Sarah Wimperis was born into a family with artistic roots that began on the Lizard, Cornwall in 1650 and stretched as far as New Zealand. She studied Fine Art at Falmouth School of Art and graduated with a degree in sculpture. After exhibiting with several galleries including the Portal Gallery in London and illustrating for the BBC and the National Trust, she decided to travel the world, painting all the way, from Russia, Israel and Norway. She lived and taught art in Norway and France finally returning to beloved Cornwall to set up a mural company as well as working as an illustrator while her five children were young.
Sarah has also exhibited with the Mall Galleries, London, the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolour and the Discerning Eye. She is also the only English artist to have worked on the “Loving Vincent” feature film contributing 788 frames out of a total of 65,000.
Artist’s Statement
“I am a traditional figurative artist and paint plein air in oils or watercolour. Larger studio paintings are completed using plein air reference either at home in my Cornish studio or on my travels in my lovely mobile studio. I gather painting inspiration through travel and visiting new places. I find myself drawn to domestic subject matter; complex interiors, markets, gardens and am a compulsive sketchbook keeper!”

Featured Artist
Miles Cole
We would like to introduce a new artist to the gallery, Miles Cole. In 2010 Miles returned to painting after a fifteen year hiatus during which time he carved out a successful career as an illustrator. His work is rooted in the tradition of British and European post-war Modernism particularly abstract painting, drawing inspiration from various sources such as coastal landscape, the city and its architecture and geometric design. The interconnecting lines found in these are a catylist for what then becomes a sensual engagement with the materials - deconstructing and reconstructing shapes into various compositions until a point of departure from the subject matter has been reached.
Miles, born 1965, studied Fine Art at Gloucestershire College of Art & Technology and gained a BA(Hons) in Fine Art. In the late 80s he studied at the Chelsea School of Art in London where he gained his MA in Fine Art. During the mid 90s to date, Miles has had many solo and group exhbiitions throughout the South of England, Cotswolds and London.

Exhibition
Peter Brown NEAC 16 - 30 September 2018
Peter Brown is widely acclaimed as one of Britain's best plein air painters. He works solely in front of the subject, refusing to use photographic reference. His passion is in depicting the everyday: the complexities of town scenes, the movement of people, light bouncing off buildings, the general hurly-burly of life, all excite and inspire him. He is a master of chiaroscuro, light at the edge of dark places, and sometimes one wonders if a dry brush of sunlight, or even artificial light, is dragged across the surface of the painting leaving pools and sparks of light in just the right places.
Peter was born in Reading, studying art at Bath College of Higher Education and Manchester Polytechnic. He has won numerous awards, is a member of various national societies and was recently elected president of the New English Art Club.
This show is taken from Peter's travels across the world over the last two years - from Havana to Vietnam, New York and then back in the UK, with his continuing love of London and our British coastline.
