Women Artists working in Britain
- Peter Blue Membership: IT Director, Artwork: 0 I am not female or an artist, I am the one who developed this site so go easy on me !!
I live and work in a typical sleepy old English town called Faversham. It has lots of old pubs, live bands, history and a creek.
I spent my earlier years in the British Army travelling to many countries including Germany, Canada, Belize, Denmark and Saudi Arabia.
I spent some time working for other companies but the 9-5 thing just isn't my style
- Laura-Iosifescu Membership: Professional, Artwork: 8 To Laura, Art is one of the most beautiful techniques to talk about feelings, people and stories. She tries her best to create an original work as she loves the idea of unique style of touch. With the most vibrant colours and with an extremely energy Laura’s art becomes indeed unique. Storms of beautiful colours with their secrets tried to reveal the story behind the picture
- Marcela Trsova Membership: Professional, Artwork: 16 Marcela Tršová
I believe art should have a function in society apart from being aesthetic. In my eyes, art is about communication – it serves as a mirror of society. I also believe it can be instrumental in changing society. I don’t claim that a work of art can change anything on a global scale, nevertheless it can touch individual people on quite a deep emotional level and change the way they are thinking, living and acting on an individual basis
- julieshackson Membership: Professional, Artwork: 10 I live in Wales and draw inspiration for my work in various mediums from the natural elements found in the countryside. My art is primarily a visceral and an emotional reaction to colour and form in the natural world, and my subject matter arises from the microcosm to the macrocosm; patterns and flowing landscapes in biological and geological realms. I also have a passion for interior design and have translated many of my works into mural form and textile furnishings
- JoWonder Membership: Director, Artwork: 26 I am a visual arts activist using the power of image to challenge established notions making mysterious stop frame animations, using diverse materials such as champagne wrappers, bacteria and poetry. I also make paintings that are full of contradictions.
I love working with living materials and to trying to portray unseen entities
- sam Membership: Professional, Artwork: 12 At the age of 3 I declared I wanted to be a wallpaper designer when I grew up - I have achieved neither of those aims, however, I still make art.
Until last year, I taught art to adult mental health service users, but have now struck out as a freelance artist. I spend much of my time juggling painting and the various demands of being a mum of two young kids
- David Membership: Director, Artwork: 0 I am one of the principals behind the Artmakers site who are sponsoring the technology for this project. I am an internet entrepreneur and a published writer. The link is to my book site. Any resemblance to the Dalai Lama is purely an accident of genetics. As far as I know, we are not related

- BelleRobinson Membership: Professional, Artwork: 1 Upstairs at the Whitechapel Gallery on Saturdays in the early nineteen sixties I was one of twenty or so teenagers given the studio space to work in any artistic medium we chose – in my case, to paint.
I was offered a place at the then celebrated Hornsey Art School but, as this coincided with becoming a teenage mother, didn’t take it up.
I painted nothing for more than thirty years until, at forty eight, I started the slow and difficult process of learning to paint all over again
- Wendy Membership: Professional, Artwork: 20 “Puppets, mannequins, waxworks, automatons, dolls, painted scenery, plaster casts, dummies, secret clockworks, mimesis and illusion.... they give us, for a while, the feeling that a world not ruled by our common laws does exist, a marvellous and uncanny world”
This observation by Janine Chasseguet-Smirgel is a fundamental element of the inspiration for my sculptures, together with themes of memory and an exploration of the past upon the perception of oneself in the present
- julia everett Membership: Professional, Artwork: 16 My paintings are expressive colourful abstract landscapes. I am moved by the sky and sea and am trying to capture the feelings one can experience from being in a wild and dramatic landscape or watching the sun set into the sea.
I am particularly inspired by the British coastline and have recently spent time in Cornwall and Wales, observing the continual changes in light and colour, over time, across large vistas of land, sky & water
- ARINA Membership: Professional, Artwork: 8 “If a painting needs a lot of explanation, it should have been a book or a song rather than a painting,” says Russian-born artist Arina Gordienko, who identifies herself in the art world with the single name Arina. “I always hope that my paintings can speak for themselves.”
“I use my face as an actress does to express emotions or feelings,” says Arina. The artist deliberately altered details of her likeness so as to best depict the feeling she wanted to convey
