Caroline Matthews ASGFA paints and draws treescapes and loves being in the woods and capturing the beauty of nature. Her work is more than just representations of trees; it is an expression of a moment in time; a pathway to light, and an exploration of the intricacies and textures found in nature. Caroline's work describes a peaceful, yet uplifting atmosphere that invites viewers to breathe deeply and feel the space around them, as a form of escapism, cocooned by nature.

Caroline is an award winning full-time practicing artist, an Associate Member of the Society of Graphic Fine Art and a member of the Studio Fridays group. She has a background in education and worked as a teacher for 32 years. She has exhibited at the Mall Galleries London with the Pastel Society 2024/25/26 and The Society of Graphic Fine Art 2024/25/26, the ING Discerning Eye 2024 and the Royal Society of British Artists 2025.

Jenna Waldren's practice is deeply rooted in the act of looking. Through observing her immediate surroundings her work acts as an almost autobiography: documenting glimmers from her daily life. Using drawing, painting and printmaking in a careful and tender manner, her work experiments with the balance of the graphic versus the painterly, juxtaposing bold lines against delicate, detailed areas of focus.

Jenna graduated from the BA (Hons) Painting programme at the University of Edinburgh with a First-Class Honours in 2021. Since then, she has been awarded the BTA Rising Star Award, reached the semi-finals of Sky Arts Portrait Artist of the Year 2024, and was shortlisted for the Husketh Hubbard Bursary. She has also been longlisted for the Scottish Portrait Award 2023, Jackson's Art Prize 2026 and was the Winner of the London First Prize Arts Depot Open 2018. Recently, she has been selected for the RBA Rising Star exhibition which will be held at the Royal Over-Seas League (ROSL) in May 2026.

K. Lee began creating his artwork in 2004. Since then, he has exhibited and sold his work from his studio and galleries worldwide. He found that, to him, art/creative work is a subject with many definitions. For that, he uses a lot of inspiration from nature and his early morning walks in London's parks. Keng Wai's subjects are figurative, with emphasis on bright colours and bold lines. By creating a story, he aims to give the viewer a lasting impression, inspire and evoke memories; then he has done his job.

My paintings are vibrant, colourful and expressive and with them I hope to explore the energy and diversity of the world around us.

I mainly paint in oils and acrylics and enjoy a wide range of subjects, including landscape, still-life and portraits.

As a keen walker I have always been drawn towards rural landscapes, returning to my favourite mountains, coastal paths and forests. I paint plein air, experiencing the elements and responding to the changing light.

More recently I have enjoyed depicting urban landscapes, where I also celebrate pattern and colour and find inspiration in the juxtaposition of man-made and the natural world.

I am a practicing GP and while working throughout the pandemic I became increasingly aware of the importance of nature and urban green spaces for the wellbeing of those who live in cities.

In my work I hope to draw attention to these wilder greener places in London where I live. I have explored and painted in community gardens, parks, by canals, on roof tops and along the Thames and often put up my easel on Hampstead Heath and in the Highgate allotments where I am artist in residence.

I am keen to return to the same subject or place, at different times of year, creating a series of work reflecting the changing seasons or my mood. I have completed a series of paintings on Hampstead Heath, and at the Highgate allotments and last year I painted a monthly series of trees.

If the weather makes it impossible to paint outdoors, I return to other favourite themes, flowers, fruit and fish. I have always found the patterns and colours of mackerel especially captivating to paint.

I am also interested in community art and the power of creativity for mental health. I have led mosaic making projects at my GP practice in Islington, at the Whittington and Great Ormond Street Hospitals encompassing NHS staff well-being and team building. Vulnerable and isolated patients participated in the Health Centre Bench Project through Social Prescribing and we achieved engagement of the wider local community and urban improvement.
