Robin Reynolds works largely in pen-and-ink and watercolour. Since the summer of 2023 he has also branched into digital art, using Procreate (iPad).
He is best known for his historical panoramas of London and New Orleans. Visscher Redrawn (2016) is an update of the famous 1616 engraving of London, depicting the old London Bridge adorned with heads on pikes. The new version, coinciding with the Shakespeare 400 celebrations, was exhibited at the Guildhall Art Gallery in 2016.
Between Heaven and Hell is a celebration of 300 years of the city of New Orleans, and is a collaboration between Robin, the Historic New Orleans Collection, and his brother Simon, who created the interactive guide that explains historical references in the image.
Other story-based work includes a visual history of the Tower of London (2023) and, most recently, another collaboration with his brother in which he illustrates Simon’s amusing re-telling of Virgil’s legend of Orpheus and Eurydice.
Robin was born in Zimbabwe in 1952. He spent most of his working life in journalism in the United Kingdom. Latterly he was responsible for the BBC’s art and history collections.
Early work included fantasy landscapes and disasters, and for the Henley Arts Trail 2024 he returns to the theme with images of Henley-on-Thames in the aftermath of an earthquake.

My handmade sterling silver jewellery is inspired by texture & movement. My pieces are made to catch the light, to move when you move, and to make them come to life. I start with an idea plus sterling silver sheet and wire. I cut by hand using a fine-tooth fretsaw, then add texture with hammers, acid, heat etc. A personal favourite is reticulation, bringing the pure silver to the surface to create random relief on the item.
Born and raised in Reading, I work from a studio in my Tilehurst home.

I gained my NDD in 1965 from Byam Shaw School in London. In 1981, we moved to Toronto where I became a member of Gallery 306, an artists’ co-op. We returned to the U.K. in 1996 and now live near Checkendon.
I like to paint places I know well and am inspired by nature, in particular water - rivers and lakes. I compose from a number of sketches and quick colour studies working mainly in watercolour and also acrylics.
Once started I follow the way the painting is developing rather than sticking closely to the studies.

I draw inspiration from the ever-changing effects of weather and light. I use colour and texture as both a starting point and a form of language to express the profound vitality of nature.

My work reflects the places I have visited, and I try to re-create the atmosphere I felt at the time. My art is a fusion of nature, colour and emotion, seeking to evoke not only the landscape, but the feeling that goes with it.

Growing up in Reading, I then graduated with a BA Hons degree in Art/ Art History from Goldsmiths College, London University. I have exhibited in a number of venues in the West End and around London and have produced commissions for a number of restaurants and clubs.

My work has been purchased by an international audience including the USA, China and Australia as well as across the UK.

I am an experimental artist I and I enjoy using combinations of mixed media and methods, such as watercolour collage and printing techniques. printing techniques. I love to work with various inks and am a little bit obsessed with pens.
