| "Painting is my response to the beauty I find in natural landscape and in the harmony that can exist between nature constructions. Part of this response is an urge to make permanent, for myself and to share with others, a unique moment. a fleeting experience of a time and pace. The act of painting enables me to explore the relationship between the time and the place, and not just to observe and record, but to participate by adding something, maybe a feature, emphasis or effect, or developing a composition." Jeremy Storr's earliest sucess included his paintings being shown regulary with Adrian Hill's Television Sketch Club. Painting was an occasional hobby until the mid 1980s, mainly consisting of a number of portraits in oils and pastels, and cartoons. His interest in painting watercolour landscapes and buildings developed in the late 1980s. He has work printed in limited edition and gained acceptance at the Royal Watercolour Society's Summer Exhibition in London. His style favours sharp detal and rich colours, with pigments and materials carefully chosen to stand the test of time. |

| Jean Scott Tonge spent most of her early childhood on the Northern coast of the Snowdonia National Park, one of the more dramatic areas of the British Isles. She developed an early love of wild floweres and a concern at their threat of extinction under modern industrial development. Her art education was at the Manchester College of Art and Design and also in Paris, training as a fashion designer and qualifying with distinction. She then worked as fashion designer and consultant to such companies as ICI and Monsanto. Family life brought about a retirement from fashion and a return to painting, winning the prestigious Derbyshire Open Art Competition at her first entry and being accepted as a member of the Society of Botanical Artists. She regularly exhibits in London and at the Stud Farm Gallery - Chatsworth in Derbyshire, her paintings combine her love of flowers and antique china. A chance visit to France led to the discovery of an area rich with a variety of wild flowers and ancient villages built of a soft mellow limestone. Her time is now spent between her country homes in England and the Provence area of the South of France. |

| Shirley did not start painting until her late forties, being inspired to do so following an emotional re-union in 1988 with her father, from whom she had been seperated when she was only 8 years old. While she was being brought up in a Children's Home in East Yorkshire, he had emigrated to Africa, where he remarried, and became a noted artist and sculptor before sadly losing his sight. Consequently, the driving force behind Shirley's art is the promise she made to her father just before he died, that if she inherited any of his artistic talent she would not waste it. |
