Embracing the fusion of imagination and entertainment, my husband and I embarked on the journey of Safari Rock Soft Play, a visionary concept crafted to evoke joy in both adults and children alike. Within our establishment, we curate an oasis of playfulness, boasting soft play facilities tailored for our little guests, complemented by a cafe offering delectable takeaway options.
Our creative expression finds its zenith in the meticulously hand-painted artwork adorning our walls, each stroke infused with the spirit of iconic venues like Hard Rock Cafe and The Rainforest Cafe. Drawing inspiration from these legendary locales, our artworks seamlessly marry the majesty of Safari animals with the flair of renowned musicians, resulting in an immersive sensory experience unlike any other. Can you see who inspired each painting?

Amanda’s work is semi abstract, full of symbolic figures and animals existing in strange landscapes.
The narrative is created during the painting and mark making process.
Images that are presented to the viewer are scenes that are playful yet can be challenging .
Amanda’s painterly language has developed over the years from enjoying the intuitive process by exploring colour and form , however the themes explored are constant and still remain authentic and heartfelt.
Amanda has reoccurring myths in her work such as the princess with the 13 eyes, big city life rabbit and the poncho wearing cowboy.
The scenes that come to life during her fast painterly process are raw and personal , fragile and dark themes are often explored such as coming to terms with loss, relationships, reflection, protection, illness and death.
Amanda gains inspiration from being in the natural Gloucestershire landscape and her work is often inspired by song lyrics and playing the banjo.

Angela has been a professional mosaic artist for over 12 years and co-founded TomatoJack Arts in berkeley along with Lynda Knott, where they still teach regular mosaic workshops.
Angela's mosaic artwork has developed over the years but she is still inspired by geometric abstract shapes in the landscape and her surroundings, she explores these architectural qualities by using different textures and perspectives.

Not drawn to photographic reality I prefer the magical unpredictability of water and pigment left to
its own devices with very little intervention on my part.
I currently favour expressive intuitive landscapes and have almost entirely abandoned traditional
brushwork in favour of liquid watercolour, or pure pigment to paper, then water manipulation in
several forms and bamboo pen or palette knife marks.
My inspiration is mainly drawn from the beautiful riverside village in which I live, but away from
home I am drawn to wild landscapes and shorelines.

I have been making semi- abstract paintings in oil or acrylic. These are from sketches made in the landscape during my walks in the local area. Composition, colour and atmosphere are important factors for interpreting my feelings in visual form. The use of texture and different media, sometimes collage, helps my journey in this to remain an exciting one, retaining an element of mystery and imagination.

Christine Dack

Painting

I almost exclusively work on landscapes of the local area. My detailed work in acrylic captures the countryside in every season. I have a fascination for the construction of fields juxtaposing one against another and the colours from the foreground to the distance. I enjoy spending time just to look and absorb and draw the landscape for my next painting. In recent years I’ve been concentrating on bringing greater colour and depth to my paintings. As well as original paintings and giclée prints I also have cushions/clocks/mugs and other items my work is printed on.

I create vessels that relate to and have dialogue with each other, their environment and those who interact with them both visually and by touch. This communication occurs by engaging in many ways, physical, spatially, emotionally, and spiritually. My forms capture this interaction, that precious essence of ‘being-with’, that can facilitate acceptance, dialogue, and potential for our well-being and collaboration.
Using a selection of clays, terra sigillata’s and glazes illustrate the diversity of those materials. Their use reflects qualities, presence and diversity within humanity which have used ceramics in countless ways for millennia.

I am an artist with painting and drawing at the heart of my practice. I make work deeply connected to a sense of place in response to particular landscape features that have had a profound effect on me, mostly in tidal and coastal areas. The locations I choose and the focus of my attention is highly selective and personal, one that evokes a very strong, emotional, felt response. Central to my practice is the use of pure colour which I make from pigment.

Holly Dunham

Painting

Go to Artist's Page

I am an oil painter.

Not always, but forever will be - immersed in the natural world.
I'm attracted to various subjects, but favour landscapes and painting outdoors.

A representational painter, I mix my colours using 3 primaries + white.
My approach - loose, expressive, evident brushstrokes with thick knife-paint.
Enough visual information to convey a picture, but viewed up-close, simply marks. An illusion.

Thick oils have a presence and physicality, the surface ‘a life of its own’.
It draws the touch, the artwork not only an image but an object.

Art is for us all - I like to share mine.

Most of my art is from the Outer Hebrides, mainly the Isles of Harris and Lewis, although I also take photographs more locally and other places around the UK.

Some of the glass hangings enclose botanical plant forms. The original plant forms are burnt away in the firing of the kiln leaving many varied imprints in the form of "ghost fossils" other glass is expressed through vibrant colours and surface.
Paintings are developed using an individual technique of distressing paper which is then worked into mixed media.

I have always loved to experiment! From scientist to mosaic artist, I am constantly playing with new materials, intrigued by how they interact with each other. Inspiration springs from my immediate environment, often the forgotten or overlooked.
Recent experiments have focused on my fascination with the detritus of my bonfire and the surrounding forgotten landscapes and remnants of human interventions. I aim to create a nonconventional beauty using found objects and partially burnt timbers, enhanced with mosaic, gold smalti or gilding.

After a career in research biochemistry, I co-founded TomatoJack Arts in 2011 - a mosaic studio in Berkeley, Gloucestershire. I am a Professional Member of the British Association for Modern Mosaic, and I continue to expand my practice by attending workshops in many varied media. My art is now more accurately described as mixed media and I am continually trying new techniques as well as experimenting with new materials.

A water colour wildlife artist living in Dursley. My love of animals and nature reflects in my art.

I am a passionate artist whose heart beats with a love for capturing the beauty of animals and nature through the delicate medium of watercolour. I go all out when I paint animals and nature in watercolour from the tiniest whisker on a hare's nose to the veins of a leaf that catch the light. Living in the countryside serves as a wellspring of inspiration for my paintings.
