Christopher is a passionate landscape and nature photographer based in the South East of the United Kingdom near Henley-on-Thames. By day, he works in the technology industry in London, but outside of this, he spends countless hours venturing into nature with his camera, capturing our planet's beauty. Christopher finds inspiration not just in classic landscapes, but also in intimate, local scenes where knowledge of the surrounding area close to home is crucial. He takes great satisfaction in documenting these often overlooked spots repeatedly, capturing their beauty in magical conditions such as sunrise, sunset, frost or fog throughout the seasons. In 2024, Chris won the British Photography Awards Landscape category with his photograph "Bluebells at Sunrise," and the Sigma UK Photographer of the Year "Our Planet" category. Chris hopes that by showcasing local photography, he can raise awareness about the conservation and protection of these rare and delicate ecosystems and highlight that beauty doesn't need to mean visiting traditional beauty spots or honeypot sites.

Claire is a scientist and runs a research lab focusing on skin regeneration. She enjoys pottery in her spare time and started in 2010 after taking an evening class in NYC, where she was working at the time. She moved back to the UK in 2014, then to Henley-on-Thames in 2016, where she set up a home studio with a wheel and eco kiln. She enjoys making decorative yet functional pieces, like vases, lamp bases and fruit bowls, in stoneware.

Since dedicating herself to her art in 2021, Clare has achieved remarkable success in the wildlife art world. She has been a finalist in numerous prestigious competitions, including The David Shepherd Wildlife Foundation's Wildlife Artist of the Year.

Clare's unique, free-flowing style allows watercolour paint to move organically on the paper, sometimes guided by her breath. She believes a spiritual force often guides the paint, and many of her pieces take shape spontaneously. "I enjoy the freedom this method brings," Clare says. "If I face an 'art block,' this approach helps me regain flow." Once dry, she refines the painting with coloured pencils, focusing on the eyes—"the windows to the soul."

Clare draws inspiration from fellow wildlife artists like Emily Lamb and abstract pioneers such as John Piper, Christopher Wool, and Joan Mitchell. She aims for her paint to connect and flow, symbolizing the interconnectedness of all life on Earth. “We are all connected,” she says, lamenting that humans often fail to see this. Clare’s art shines a light on the impact of humanity's consumerism on the environment and wildlife.

Her past in fast-moving consumer goods marketing exposed her to corporate inertia and its consequences on nature. "The need to make a profit comes at a price," she reflects, citing rainforest destruction for palm oil as an example. This deforestation harms the climate and de

Craig paints vibrant seascapes and still lifes that capture the beauty in life’s simple moments. Inspired by coastlines, colour, and everyday objects, his work blends bold shapes with rich, textured colour to create pieces that feel both calm and full of life.

David Palmer-Stevens has spent his working life as an engineer but since a small child has spent his leisure time drawing and painting cartoons. Late in life he discovered Milliput a two part resin that behaves like clay but dries super hard. David found that he could bring his cartoon characters to life by sculpting them in the new material. He makes a metal armature, block the shape out with wood and then covers the former with Milliput for sculpting. The sculptures are painted with acrylic paints and a protective coat of mat varnish.
