Louise Wilmot
Louise’s botanical paintings explore the beautiful and vivid structures of the natural world around us. From a background designing title sequences for TV, her paintings seek to capture the bold and graphic compositions often hidden within flowers, leaves and branches. Her calming and meditative work aims to reflect the effect of light on these striking natural forms. Louise works mostly in acrylics, preferring them for their quick drying time and depth of colour.

Jacqui Watkins ; Linen Prints
Jacqui trained for a degree in Surface Pattern Design at Loughborough College of Art. She went on to have a long career as a textile designer in the fashion and furnishings textile industry working in the UK and abroad. She has now gone back to her love of drawing and printmaking and is primarily focussed on watercolour/ink drawings, paintings, linocuts, collographs, monoprints and plate lithography. There is still a decorative quality to her work in her use of line, texture and colour with her main subject matter based in the landscape.

Using screen-printing, lino and collograph techniques, she mostly focusses on the many wonderful dogs and kids who frequent the garden centre and make it such a lovely place.
