Real Remembered Imagined - Common Ground

About

Common Ground are four painters, one glass artist and a ceramicist. Sarah Boden MA, is a Bristol based, full time professional artist and art tutor with over twenty years of experience in painting, previously exhibiting in Europe, Australia and Asia. Her abstract landscapes and botanical paintings draw on both her travels and her training as an architect.

 Susannah Crook is a professional artist living close to the North Somerset coast. She is inspired by rocks, pebbles, geological features and the ever-changing coastal skies. Using natural earth, mineral and botanical pigments as much as she can is an essential part of her practice.

 Clare Orr lives in the South West and paints landscapes in watercolour. Country walks and landscape photographs are the main source of her inspiration. She looks for rhythms and patterns of enclosures, lines, lanes and the trees that surround our cities.

Louise Wilmot’s paintings explore the beautiful and vivid structures of the natural world around us. Her calming work captures the intensity of colour and light through bold and graphic compositions, inspired by the seasons. She is based in the city of Bristol.

 Yvonne Elston, is a ceramicist whose contemporary bird forms explore the beauty of the curve. Inspired by mid-century design she creates pieces that interpret the world we see. Based in Bath, she uses ancient glazing methods such as Raku and smoke-firing for unique finishes.

Claire Hall is a glass artist and educator working from her studio in Brockley, North Somerset. She has a BA Hons in Fine Art, her installations, wall art and sculptural vessels are exhibited internationally. Her work captures remembered sensations and experiences within the landscape.
