Julie Jenkins

Artist Julie Jenkins trained and worked as a graphic designer in London. She paints in mixed media, both landscape and portrait subjects.

Widespread travel to remote and fascinating locations worldwide is a great source of inspiration to both Julie’s creativity and spirituality.

The process of creation is a joy, from the initial concept to the flowing lines and colour that form the image on paper.

Julie has exhibited her work internationally and nationally, showing at the Society of Graphic Fine Art in London. She has also held solo exhibitions in Brighton Festival, Sussex, Guildford House, Surrey, Dorset and Wiltshire. Julie has regularly participated in Somerset Art Weeks Open Studios at her home in Wincanton since 2004. Julie is currently working for an exhibition to be held October 2022 in Salisbury, Wiltshire, at Fisherton Mill Gallery.

Sarah Ayling

Sarah trained at Sir John Cass in Central London before moving to an illustration and graphic design course at Kent Institute of Art & Design. Sarah completed a degree in Public Art covering printmaking, photography, enamel and lead to specialising in stained glass. She retains a curiosity of many art forms including current exploration into textiles and leather.

Sarah has exhibited in several galleries and was a member of the Crafts Council, and Somerset Guild of Craftsmen.

Inspiration comes to Sarah from any direction. A love of travel both home and abroad, images and artworks, craft courses and the internet. It’s always an adventure where stimulus can come. She has been a resident in Somerset for over 20 years and this beautiful region remains a major influence.
