Lovedy
James

Artist Profile

A well known artist and teacher of art, Lovedy has exhibited in London at the Society of Women Artists (S.W.A.) annual exhibition at Westminster Hall. She also exhibits locally with the Christchurch Arts Guild and Highcliffe Art Fellowship and her work is familiar to many local people.

She has been awarded several prestigious prizes – the Mercy Oddy Memorial Water colour prize, the Dick Crow Marine Trophy of mixed media seascape and on two occasions the Presidents Choice Award, again for mixed media work. As a keen and prize winning amateur gardener and floral display artist it is not surprising that the subject of flowers feature in her water colours and pastels; the reflection of trees in water is another theme which regularly occurs in her paintings of the New Forest as are the atmospheric skies, sunsets and dawns along our local coastline.

In her more recent work, Mixed Media Seascapes have featured success fully as have Reflections in water with Ink.

Lovedy’s Summer Workshops and her Art classes at All Saint’s Church Mudeford for Amateur Painters have raised several thousand pounds for local charities.

Richard
Wheeler

Artist Profile

Richard is an historian by training. He has long been interested in art. Only in recent years has he found time to develop fully his artistic interests and talents. His boyhood upbringing and lifelong love of the sea are reflected in his artistic expression. His paintings are mainly seascapes and landscapes in a semi-abstract, impressionistic genre. The relationship between art and poetry, especially of the sea, is reflected in his painting. He paints mainly with a palette knife in oil and acrylic in his studio and en plein air. His favoured location is the Hampshire and Dorset coast and its hinterland. He has exhibited in both counties and at many art festivals in Hertfordshire. He recently held his first solo exhibition at a gallery in Christchurch.
