Anna Perlin is an established painter and printmaker whose distinctive work is inspired by a love of the British countryside.

In her paintings, fabric and paper collage add texture and depth alongside paint, oil pastel and charcoal. Pattern and colour from these materials are used to create both contrast and cohesion in her work. The quiet areas of Anna's paintings are just as important as the vibrant subjects of her work, allowing you to focus on her chosen window on the world, whether landscape, still life or figure.

Anna's prints are created through collagraph printmaking and the use of carborundum. The carborundum, the 'grit' used to make sandpaper, is mixed in a variety of ratios with glue and painted onto a printing plate which is then inked up in tonal ranges to create a painterly effect. Colour is added during printing with collaged elements, or after printing with pastel or watercolour.

She works from her home studio in Hertfordshire.

Landscape has always been pivotal for Sarah Jenkins. More recently, this has been in an increasingly internal, abstracted way. The clay structure provides an earthy foundation, while the surface marks, colours and textures suggest transient moments of weather and light, season and time.

The finished works might be described as having strongly contrasting different appearances. Some, using glazes and brighter colours, look very different to the unglazed pieces, where contrasting slips highlight the exterior surface.

Despite the contrasts, there's an underlying consistency in intent, and a continued connection to landscape. Following her inspiration, always building by hand, Sarah finds different paths towards the same goal, moving across the different terrain with a variety of responses.

Sarah lives and works in north Essex, from a studio surrounded by farmland.
