![]() Christy Georg |
![]() Nautical Body |

She has exhibited widely, and been granted residencies from Vermont Studio Center, Boston’s Berwick Research Institute, the Roswell AIR program, the MacDowell Colony, the Fine Arts Work Center, SculptureSpace, Pouch Cove, and the Centre des Arts Ross Creek. |
![]() Drew Tal |
![]() Drew Tal Gallery |
In Drew's woords "my art is a personal investigation across cultural bounds into the underlying human themes and common spiritual threads found in religious, mythological and sexual expression. Growing up in Israel in the '60's, was a blessing for me. At that time in history the young state was a true melting pot for millions of immigrants from all around the globe. Surrounded with such a colorful collage of ethnicities, languages, nationalities, cultures and religions made me realize from an early age that the world beyond me was a rich and complex place. This revelation opened my eyes to the exotic, and made me extremely curious about people and their religions, customs, costumes and histories. It also planted an insatiable desire in me to travel to faraway lands. |
![]() Beatriz Vaca |
![]() Paintings |
Beatriz hails from Sevilla, Spain. In 2008 Beatrix earned a degress from Universidad Complutense de Madrid (procedente de la Universidad de Santa Isabel de Hungría de Sevilla). Beatriz has an extensive history of group and solo exhibits in Spain. |
![]() Gilbert Boro |

![]() Linda Hasking |
![]() Ideal Home & Time & Motion |
With previous experience studying Physics and working in industry, it is unsurprising that Linda approaches art as a problem solving exercise; enjoying the technical challenges of printmaking as much as the aesthetics. Having also worked freelance in interior design and decoration for ten years, she is acutely aware of how far people’s vision for their homes differs from their realities and enjoys that debate. No wonder, then, that the outcome of Linda’s BA, Fine Art Printmaking (1st class), at Winchester should be a body of work based on that dichotomy and a practice that continues to explore it, both in her own studio, in the community, and to commission. |

Carly Walker |
![]() Works March 08 |
From the United Kingdom, in Carly's words "My art describes my life, experiences I've had, and things that make me who I am today. I endeavour to make work that everyone can relate to. I want people to see a part of who they are in the pieces I do." Having completed her A levels in graphic design and Fine art at Weymouth College, she is currently studying BA Fine Art in Southampton. |

![]() Daniel John Gadd |
![]() New and Reworked |
Daniel holds a BFA from the School of Visual Arts. In his own words "I use painting as a way of discovering and learning about myself in order to foster personal growth and maturity. I acknowledge the futility of language in expressing the very deepest emotions of the human experience, and the role art has in filling in the spaces." |
